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

Task: To consolidate and confirm data regarding Alexander Brand Inglis The weekend threw up loads up extra information on the Inglis family, which John dealt with. I chose therefore to take what we had learnt from secondary sources on the internet (especially rootsweb.com) and build up a better and more solid picture of Colin Inglis’ father Alexander Brand Inglis. Firstly, looking at the rootsweb.com data from the other researcher I realised that we had his birth date and baptism date mixed up, so we rectified that. He was actually born on 26th January 1839.

I found a Jessie A Inglis in the 1891 census as a widow, and then found an Alexander B Inglis who died a few years earlier, in 1886. It tied in so far but wasn’t enough evidence to prove that I was looking at the right ones. On the census Jessie A and most of her children were listed as being born in India (specifically Calcutta for the children) but daughter Ethel M was born in Edzell, Scotland. This was good news as . . . → Read More: The Full Story of that Waltzing Matilda Fact In Friday’s post we received the marriage certificate for Colin Inglis and Daisy Henderson (my father’s mother’s parents). As we had already thought, they were married in Croydon in 1907 – but the certificate has given us confirmation of Daisy’s full name (we still can’t find her birth registry entry) and has also given us the names of both Colin and Daisy’s fathers. Determined to find Daisy, my first task today has been to continue the search for her birth details. The marriage certificate shows Daisy’s father’s name as John Crosbie Aitken Henderson, merchant. I therefore began . . . → Read More: Great Leaps Forwards (or is that Backwards?) |
