Is It possible names get mixed up

Post by **emanday** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 1:49 pm

Hi Carol,

IGI has a completely different spelling, and there seems to be a brother to Janet.

This IS a submitted entry, so that could account for the spelling...

Father: WILLIAM TAYLER
Mother: MARGARET TRIPNEY

JANET TAYLER
Birth: 22 MAY 1790
Christening: 28 MAY 1790 Muiravonside, Stirling, Scotland

PETER TAYLER
Birth: 08 JUN 1793
Christening: 13 JUN 1793 Muiravonside, Stirling, Scotland

Hi Carol,

Have you been able to get an occupation for William Taylor of Muiravonside?

There's a gravestone in Muiravonside Churchyard and the inscription is as follows: "The Buring Place of William Taylor, Farmer ....."

Unfortunately there's nothing else visible as a large section of the front of the stone has flaked off, so no way of knowing if he was your William Taylor.

This stone is listed in the pre-1855 MI Book for East Stirlingshire and it seems to have been in the same condition when the Churchyard was surveyed in October 1967 as the published inscription hasn't anymore info than the above.

The name Tripney seems to be quite a common surname around the Muiravonside area - I had a wee look at the British Vital Records CD's and there's dozens of births between 1811 and 1835.

If you would like a copy of a photograph of the above stone, PM me with your private e-mail address and I'll send you one through.

Hi Carol

Grace/Grizel are interchangeable.

Have a look at this site

Hi Carol

I don't know if you are aware of the difference between "submissions" on the www.familysearch.org site and "extracts"

Extracts are exactly what they say they are........Extracts from the OPR records and are therefore genuine.

Submissions are made by people who have previously researched this family and these are their own findings. They are sometimes accurate, sometimes not. If you find a submission you need to check out the information for yourself.

In this case Grizel Hastie is an extract. The entries for Grace Hastie are submissions. However they do tie up, in this instance

Hi Jean

You said

........Extracts from the OPR records and are therefore genuine.

. Almost all the time. Exceptions being where the transcriber was unable to read the entry and put down what they thought it said, which, occasionally is way off the mark; sometimes quite close but not close enough to be picked up in the normal search.
Having viewed some of the originals I have every sympathy with their difficulties.

Also, I seem to remember people of an older generation pronouncing the word "threepence" as "thruppence" or even sometimes "thrippence". My mother would call anything costing threepence as a "thrippeny" - whatever it was. Or would say "I wouldn't give you thrippence for it".

hI

Yes. I always remember my gran using the saying thripennce never realising generations back the name was part of thr family, Hopefully will be able to trace even further back on the tripenny name. Here hoping.

Cheers

Carol
