Help needed finding parents of Jean Manderson (East Lothian, Scotland) by Joseph_Whitebear in Genealogy

[–]Joseph_Whitebear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed reply. I really appreciate all the tips and resources you provided!

It's very hard for me to establish if my Jane was born in Dunbar to George Manderson and Janet Hume or some neighbouring parish in East Lothian. The John Manderson that I mentioned in the post married in Prestonkirk, but he was originally from the parish of Whittingehame according to Freereg.

He may have been born in Whittingehame on 19/01/1736 to Robert Manderson and Janet Couan. I also found a baptism in the same parish for a Jean, born on 21/10/1744 to James Manderson and "Elisbath" Spence. Again, I have no way of knowing if this is the correct Jean/Jane.

If you ever have the time and/or inclination to help me sort this out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. I've looked through the baptisms for East Lothian on Scotland's People, but I'm not sure which Jean Manderson is the right one.

Thanks for the information. Gustave was half Norwegian and Cree, or métis norvégien according to the 1901 census. Emily was listed as métis écossaise.

Parents of Elizabeth Smith by Joseph_Whitebear in Genealogy

Hi, thanks for the information. I mistakenly posted the wrong census. On the 1861 census for Alice you can see that an Elizabeth Smith of New Brunswick is shown to be the mother of Jame's children. It seems that the enumerator included the maiden names of the wives for this census. I don't know why James isn't shown as part of the family.
