frances · Post by **frances** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:49 pm

I have found the BC for Alexander Turnbell 16/08/1784 in Kilconquhar his parents are given as Thomas Turnbell and his wife Jean Mattheson. I have tried various wild cards on SP but have had no luck in tracing Thomas and Jean's Marriage

, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Frances

Do a search in Fife, Kilconquhar, 1761.
Surname: t*rnb*l*
Forenam: Thomas

Spouse's Name: Mathison

There's one result, good luck!

Edit: It appears the name is Elizabeth Mathison and not Jean.

Hi Frances,

I think Thomas had 2 wives. If you search on IGI for births in Kilconquhar then you'll find Thomas born 1766 and Catharine 1769. Parents Thomas and Elspeth Mathison. Then there is a huge gap (maybe Elspeth died?).
Alexander 1784, Andrew 1786 and John 1790 parents Thomas and Jean Mattheson.
Could be Elspeth died and Jean might be her sister?
Hope this helps.
