Trying to find details on my kids 6th Great-grandparents....

Post by devon_stud » Sun Mar 26, 2006 11:07 pm

Hi I am new here,

I have my kids 5th Great grandfather.

William Hutcheson born 18.5.1786 Leuchars, Fifeshire.

His parents are James Hutcheson and Elizabeth Graham, trying to find out more about them as all I know is that they were born in Scotland so any info anyone can find will be greatly appreciated..

Kind regards

Ian in Plymouth, Devon

Hi Ian
...and a warm welcome to Talking Scot :D

Have you had a look at the OPR entry for the birth of your William? There is always a chance that there might just be some little piece of extra information in there, such as the father's occupation, or the place of residence - that's if you are lucky! Often there is no more information that you can see on the IGI.

If you are not planning a visit to Scotland you can order an OPR film from your local LDS centre for a small fee (I think its just gone up - maybe about £3 now?)

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi there Ian

I presume you've got the marriage of James and Elizabeth/Betty? Had 3 spare credits to use up - wonder if this is them?

1 06/05/1785 HUTCHESON JAMES BETTY GRAHAM/ M ARBROATH 272/00 0005

Couldn't see any other children.

Thank you Liz and Lesley

I will keep all this info on file as you never know. It is quite puzzling.

I am led to believe by the X mother in law that Elizabeth Graham is linked to the Graham line and is possibly descended from Robert The Bruce.

I would love to prove it one way or the other. Simply because my two children would have a very famous 18th or 19th Great grandparents indeed.

Once again thank you both for your time in replying to my post.

Kind regards Ian
