By Roz, on December 3rd, 2006% For a while we’ve been trying to find out more about Jessie Ann Inglis. She married Alexander Brand Inglis, but hailed from a completely different branch of Inglises (phew!). Until a few days ago all we knew about her was that she was born in India, around 1849, and married Alexander in India in 1868.
Then we realised that www.ancestry.co.uk had made transcriptions of two more Scottish censuses available – 1851 and 1861. We had already looked on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk but had had no luck in locating Jessie anywhere in Scotland. Trying again on www.ancestry.co.uk and using their new . . . → Read More: Jessie Ann Inglis
By Roz, on November 25th, 2006% One of the items we received last week was the book “Oor Ain Folk” by the Hon James Inglis. It’s subtitled “Being Memories of Manse Life in the Mearns and a Crack Aboot Auld Times” and was published in 1894.
I’ve finished reading it and enjoyed it very much. It concentrates on James’s father, the Reverend Robert Inglis, and his part in the “Disruption” of the Scottish Church in 1843, as well as a collection of anecdotes about his family and other characters in and around Glenesk (or Lochlee). Most (non-family) anecdotes seem to revolve around whisky, the drinking of . . . → Read More: Oor Ain Folk
By Roz, on November 9th, 2006% I received a letter from my paternal grandfather, in relation to family history. He’s also keen and has lots of documentation, and as he is 98, is a wonderful first-hand source for information! With the letter came a copy of a family tree relating to the Nash family, and an explanation that they are related to the Watters side of things. Watters is his mother’s maiden name and, as per previous posts, you will note the aggravating lack of information we have for her. Yes, I could ask Grandad for more information, but part of me would like to discover . . . → Read More: Breaking Watters (ooh, nasty pun, sorry)
By John, on November 3rd, 2006% Last night we cleared up a little mystery on who the other Alexander Brand Inglis who appeared on various censuses was. He was the son of David Inglis, our ABI’s eldest brother, and was born in 1872. As he was listed on one census as being born in Scotland it was very easy to find him on Scotland’s People. His parents were David Inglis and Ann Brand and their marriage date was listed as 1868, also in Scotland. We found the marriage certificate and discovered that Ann Brand was the daughter of an Alexander Brand. Coincidentally, the grandfather of David . . . → Read More: Alexander Brand Inglis the Younger
