Alexander Connell, son of ploughman ALEXANDER CONNELL and JEAN CONNELL née CUNNINGHAM (both deceased), banker married to Janet Gibson, died aged 47 years in April 1865 at 61 Portland Street, Kilmarnock, after three years of consumption. His will proven June 1865 noted him as "sometime teller in the Branch of the Ayrshire Banking Company now agent for the Branch of the Clydesdale Banking Company in Kilmarnock, spouse of Janet Gibson".

Janet Connell, daughter of journeyman dyer WALTER GIBSON and CATHERINE GIBSON née NAISMITH (both deceased) and widow of bank agent Alexander Connell, died aged 78 years at 61 Woodstock Street (West), Kilmarnock.

1.2  John Connell (c1825…?)

John Connell, fourth child of ALEXANDER CONNELL and his wife JEAN CUNNINGHAM, born March 1825, Kilmarnock, was apparently living with his parents at Grange Gate, Kilmarnock, when the 1841 Census was taken.

Perhaps this is the John Connell mentioned in the 1881 census at 133 George St, Paisley High Church, Renfrew SCT [a strong contraindication is the 1851 census which lists a John Connell, card cutter aged 26, in Barclay Street, Paisley High Church, Renfrew, together with his widowed mother Ann Connell aged 66: this John Connell would also have been born circa 1825, though his birthplace is noted as Paisley not Kilmaornock]:

1.3 ♦ Mary Ann Connell (1830…1899) m. James Paterson (c1827…1917)

Mary Ann Connell, daughter of ALEXANDER CONNELL and JEAN CUNNINGHAM born in Kilmarnock in October 1830, married James Paterson in Kilmarnock in February 1856. According to the census of 1851, James was a block printer aged 34, the son of ROBERT PATERSON and ISABELLA BROWN, and born at Campsie in Sterlingshire. [A Robert Paterson married a Christian Brown in Campsie on 5 December 1829.] Children of James and Mary Ann (all born at Kilmarnock) included:

• JEAN CUNNINGHAM PATERSON (born July 1856; died between 1861-71)),
• ISABELLA BROWN PATERSON (born January 1858, died February 1861, aged 3 years),
• CHRISTIANA P PATERSON (born February 1860; married Thomas Jack),
• ROBERT PATERSON (born February 1862; listed as a blacksmith resident with his parents in the 1881 census),
• ALEXANDER CONNELL PATERSON (born September 1865, died 1867, aged 2 years),
• MARION S PATERSON (born April 1867, died 1939; married George Richardson, 1892),
• JAMES PATERSON (born August 1868; alive in 1901, married to Annie P —) and
• JOHN CONNELL PATERSON (born March 1872, died 1882, aged 10 years).

The 1861, 1871 and 1881 censii shew the family lived at 23 West Netherton Street [Kilmarnock]. James was reputedly a miser, and when he died aged ?92 years, he willed his house "Connell" to his daughter Marion; this action apparently fuelled a rift in the family. Both James and Mary Ann are listed in the 1881 census, aged 54 and 49 years respectively. The 1881 census shews the family:

[A bachelor journeyman joiner James Paterson, 23, of Riccarton, married spinster farmer's daughter Annie-Orr Harvey on 11 June 1895 at Trees Farm, Riccarton, after Banns according to the rites of the Church of Scotland. This James noted his parents as master joiner JAMES PATERSON and MARION PATERSON née CUNNINGHAM (deceased). Annie, 24, of Trees Farm, Riccarton, was the daughter of tenant farmer ALEXANDER HARVEY and his wife MARY HARVEY née TANNOCK?. Witnesses at the wedding were Alexander C Paterson and Janet Harvey. Although similar in many aspects, this James is considered unlikely to have been the James born circa 1867.]

The death of Mary Ann Paterson née Connell aged 68 years was recorded at Kilmarnock in 1899. The death of a James Paterson aged 73 years, possibly the husband of Mary Ann, was recorded at Ayr in 1901.

1.3.1  Christiana P Paterson (1860…1931) m. Thomas Jack (1854/5…1921)

Spinster Christiana/Christina P Paterson and bachelor Thomas Jack (?"Bertie") married in December in Kilmarnock. Thomas Jack was noted as a journeyman tinsmith [he was later a plumber] aged 25 years. Christina was noted as a tailoress aged 20 years. Christina and Thomas's reputedly large family included::

• MARY ANN C JACK (born c1881, Riccarton, employed as a shopkeeper (ironmongery) in 1901),
• WILLIAM JACK (born c1883, Kilmarnock, employed as a plumber in 1901),
• JAMES JACK (born c1886, Kilmarnock, alive in 1891),
• JESSIE CALDERHEAD (or CALDERWOOD) JACK (born c1888, Kilmarnock, a scholar in 1901; resident in New South Wales by 1930 where she died in 1964; married John Muir Cook at Kilmarnock in 1912, two issue),
• JOHN C JACK (born c1890, Riccarton, a scholar in 1901),
• THOMAS JACK (born c1892, Riccarton, a scholar in 1901),
• BERTIE P JACK (born c1895, Riccarton, a scholar in 1901; later a doctor) and
• CHRISTINA C JACK (born c1897, Riccarton, aged 4 years in 1901 census).

The family is listed in the 1881 census at 38 Campbell St, Riccarton, Ayr SCT:

Number 84 Campbell Street appears to have been a dual-tenancy, as the seven members of the Wilson family were also listed with that address. Neighbours at number 82 were Christina's parents James Paterson and Mary Ann Paterson (née Connell,) and Christina's younger sister Marion.

The Jack family in the 1901 census is shewn at 12 Rennie Street, Kilmarnock, Ayr SCT:

Ironmonger and plumber Thomas Jack, aged 66 years, son of farmer WILLIAM JACK and JESSIE JACK née CALDERHEAD [both deceased], died in January 1921 at 12 Rennie Street, Kilmarnock. It is likely that Thomas' parents were the Janet Calderhead and William Jack who married at New Monkland, Larnarkshire, in 1841, where a Thomas Jack was born in 1856.

Christina Jack née Paterson, widow of plumber Thomas Jack, died aged 71 years at 12 Rennie Street, Kilmarnock.

Jessie Calderhead (or Calderwood) Jack, born at Kilmarnock AYR circa 1888, a daughter of CHRISTINA PATERSON and THOMAS ["Bertie"] JACK, married John Muir Cook at London Road, Kilmarnock on 4 September 1912. John, born 27 January 1887 at 15 Dean Street, Kilmarnock, was the son of engine fitter CHARLES COOK and his wife JEANIE MUIR, who had married at Kilmarnock on 17 December 1880.

At the 1912 wedding, Jessie was noted as a spinster aged 25 resident at 12 Rennie Street, Kilmarnock, the daughter of tinsmith THOMAS JACK and his wife CHRISTINA JACK née PATERSON. John was noted as a bachelor iron-turner aged 25 resident at 12 Henrietta Street, Kilmarnock, son of engine-fitter CHARLES COOK and his wife JANE COOK née MUIR. Marriage witnesses were Mary Connell Jack and John Muir Weir. John and Jessie had two children

John and Jessie had two children:

• CHARLES COOK (born c1915; death on 1 March 1973, aged 58, 'late of Gladesville, formerly of Ryde', noted in The Sydney Morning Herald next day; marriage to widow Annie Euphemia ('Nancy') Cronan registered at Burwood in 1955; no children; NSW Electoral Rolls shew Charles Cook [storeman] and Annie Euphemia [home duties] at 1 Kells road, Ryde in 1958, 1963 and 1968) and

For further details of this family refer to Section 6.1.5.1.

2. ♦ Robert Keith (c1774…1853) m. Henrieta Haggart (1778…1868)

[The original information in this section came from Beverly Nicholson-Conde, September 2002, and was augmented by Penny Lewis in March 2003]
Robert Keith married Henrieta Haggart married on 19 December 1800 at Caputh, Perth SCT. Henrieta, born August 1778 at Lethendy and Kinloch, Perth, was the daughter of JA. HAGART [?James]. Robert and Henrieta were the parents of (at least):

• MARGARET KEITH (born 7 September 1801, baptised 13 September 1801 at Caputh to Robert Keith and Henretta Hagart),
• JANET KEITH (born 11 April 1803, baptised 17 April 1803 at Caputh to Robert Keith and Henretta Hagart),
• ROBERT KEITH (baptised May 1807 at Murroes to Robert Keith and Henrietta Haggart; living at Monifieth in 1868, died in Dundee in 1897; married Helen Keillor at Panbride in 1837 with five known issue),
• JAMES KEITH (baptised 6 July 1809 at Murroes to Robert Keith and Henrietta Haggart),
• HENRIETTA KEITH (born 27 May 1811, baptised 2 June 1811 at Monifieth to Robert Keith and Henrietta Hagart; listed in 1841 census with parents at Drumsturdy Muir, Monifieth, Forfarshire),
• JOHN KEITH (born/baptised August 1813 at Barry to Alexander Keith [sic] and Henrietta Hagart),
• MATILDA KEITH (born 21 April 1816, baptised 28 April 1816 at Barry, Angus; married Michael Nicholson at Montfeith in 1837; six children) and
• THOMAS KEITH (born 30 January 1820, baptised 6 February 1820 at Barry, Angus to Robert Keith and Henrietta Haggart).

It could be postulated that Robert Keith, husband of Henrietta Haggart, had younger siblings or cousins named Alexander and James. Robert and Henrieta Keith had two children baptised at Murroes, in 1807 and 1809. Alexander Keith and Agnes Pitkethlie, whose marriage was entered in parish registers at Scone 18 January 1807 and in Dundee on 4 February 1707, had five children baptised at Murroes soon after Robert and Henrieta:

• ELIZABETH KEITH (baptised 10 August 1809 to Alexander Keith and Agnes Pitcaithly),
• AGNES KEITH (baptised 8 April 1811 to Alexr. Keith and Agnes Petkethlie),
• MARGARET KEITH (baptised 12 March 1814 to Alexr. Keith and Agnes Pitkeathly),
• JEAN KEITH (baptised 22 May 1814 at Murroes to Alexr. Keith and Agnes Petkethlie [perhaps a twin of Margaret aboe) and
• CHARLOTTE KEITH (baptised 30 March 1817 to Alexander Keith and Agnes Pitkeathly).

Robert and Henrieta Keith's next child was baptised at Monifieth, in 1811. A few years later James Keith and Mary Duncan, married at Monifieth in April 1814, had three children baptised there. James and Mary Keith, born circa 1793 and 1788 respectively at Monifieth, were noted in June 1851 census as still living at Monifieth [the census also listed a Jane Keith, born at Monifieth circa 1791]. The known issue of James and Mary Keith, baptised at Monifieth, were:

• DAVID KEITH (baptised 1 February 1818),
• MARJORY KEITH (baptised 11 December 1823) and
• MARY KEITH (baptised 1 May 1826).

Robert and Henrietta Keith were living with their daughter Hentietta at Monyfieth, Angus in the 1841 census:

(Monyfieth, Angus, Scotland / Drumsturdymuir [GROs data 310/00, 003/00, 013]) Note: 1841 enumerators were instructed to round down the ages of persons 15 years and over to the nearest five years

Lindsay Williams of Wellington, New Zealand [lindsay.nz@gmail.com, 26 July 2012] identifies the James's Park area (where his maternal Norrie forebears dwelt in 1841) as Victoria St - Albert St - Arbroath Rd, Dundee and is seeking a history of the area. James's Park is mentioned in the Journals of the Hose of Lords, 1841 (Vol 73) among a long list of petitioners seeking relief from the Corn Laws ["Also,Upon reading the Petition of the Feuars and Proprietors of James Park and Maryfield, Dundee, County of Forfar, whose names are hereunto subscribed"] and more recently in the September 2008 "Dundee Local Plan Review, Site Planning Brief, Erskine Street Yard, Erskine Street, Stobswell, Dundee" [the Dundee City Council owned vacant Erskine Street Yard, circa 0.22ha in extent, is a brownfield site at the corner of Dura Street and Erskine Street within the Regeneration Area of Stobswell]:
The site is near to the Albert Street District Shopping Area of Stobswell which has excellent cross city transportation connections as well as being near to a large range of commercial and recreational amenities within the city centre, circa 1km to the south. <Map> The site is bounded to the east by Erskine Street, a traditional Victorian sandstone tenement street; to the south by the Erskine Street Garden Landscape Company premises; to the West by a new private housing development and to the north by Mosque and Dura Street. At the end of the 19th century the site use changed from being part of the greenspace of James's Park into industrial premises and remained so into the 1990s as a coal depot. In recent times the yard was purchased by Tayside Regional Council for the now abandoned North East Arterial road proposals. The Dundee Local Plan Review 2005 identifies the site as 'H31' for 'Brownfield Housing Proposals'.

The 1861 census lists Michael living with wife Margt. [sic] and children at 72 Albert Street, Dundee, Forfar:

4. ♦ Walter Sim (c1778…1843) m.(1799) Isabel Lindsay (c1770…)

Walter Sim and Isabel Lindsay celebrated their wedding on 8 November 1799 at Leuchars, Fife, Scotland, and again on 24 November 1799 at Monimail FIF (with his name written Sym). They were the parents of:

• ANNIA SIME (baptised June 1802 to Walter Sime and Isabell Lindesay, Moonzie, Fife),
• ISABELL SYME (baptised November 1803 to Walter Syme and Isabell Lindesay, Moonzie),
• WILLIAM REED SYME (born and baptised June 1807 to Walter Syme and Isabel Lindsy, Kilmany, Fife),
• MARGARET SYME (born and baptised March 1809 to Walter Syme and Isabel Lindsay, Kilmany; appears, as 'lately servant at Lathockar & Hazelden', to have brought an action for aliment against a David McIntyre, tenant at Lathockar Quarry, for support for an illegitimate daughter born 11 March 1832, and for admission to the Poor Roll for legal and other aid [in the action, 'Mgt. Syme' was listed as 'dau of Walter S, carter in Cupar'] [source: FifeFHS]),
• ELIZIE MELDRUM SYME (born and baptised October 1810 to Walter Syme and Isabel Lindsay, Kilmany) and
• MARY SIME (born circa 1813, Cupar FIF, died 1890; married George Richardson, Forgan FIF, 1834).

Walter and Isobella Syme were living in Leuchars Village, Dundee, Angus at the time of the 1841 census:

Name	Age	Occupation	Born in County	eYoB
(Leuchars, Fife Scotland / Leuchars Village [GROs data 445/00 006/00 003]) Note: 1841 enumerators were instructed to round down the ages of persons 15 years and over to the nearest five years
Walter Syme	63	Labourer	Y	1788
Isobella Syme	70	.	Y	1770
James Rintoul	13	Slater Ap.	Y	1828

The absence in the surviving 1851 census record of entries identifiable as either the Isobella or Walter Sime located at Leuchars Village in 1841 suggests they were deceased by that 1851. The death of a Walter? Sime on 8 June 1843, and burial on 11 June 1843, was entered in the Leuchars registers in 1843.

The 1841 census suggests Isobella and Walter Syme of Leuchars Village were born c1770 and c1778 respectively. Given Isobella appears to have been some years older that Walter in it is not unreasonable to conjecture that she had been previously married.

Note though that the Extract from the Old Parish Register for the Dundee (St Peter Parish), Scotland - Burials 1837 - 1856 on Arlene's Lists, http://www.monikie.org.uk/ah-saintpeter.htm [accessed 01jul2012], has the Dundee burials of a Liff-born Isabel Sime née McImrie on 8 July 1838, aged 61 (born about 1777), the wife of Walter Sime, and of Dould-born labourer Walker [Walter?] Sime on 11 July 1849, aged 69 (born about 1780).

Previous cojectures included the possibilities that Walter was baptised in Forgan parish, Fife, (just 8km NNW of Leuchars ), either baptised 22 May 1765 the son of William Syme and Sussanna Chrightoun or baptised 24 April 1768 the son of Walter Syme and Margaret Ramsay. It was also thought possible that he was baptised 16 March 1780 at Dowally (in the Strathtay district, Perthshire) the son of James Sim and Christan Duff, or 17 February 1784 at Dowally the son of William Sim and Margrat Cameron. Robert Macfarlane eMailed [23may2012] re James Sim and Christian Duff :

.

… my great great great grandfather Donald Mcfarlane married Margaret Sim in Dowally in 1787 - I believe her parents were James Sim & Christian Duff (cannot prove 100% at this moment). I know Margaret had a brother Walter. The problem I have is that I have traced four potential Margaret Sim born between 1760 and 1770, and not sure which married Donald. Any information you have on this Sim family would be appreciated..

4.1  ♦ Mary Sime (c1813…1890) m. George Richardson (1812…1902)

Mary Sime, daughter of WALTER SIME and his wife ISABELLA LINDSAY, born at Cupar FIF circa 1813, married George Richardson, son of JOHN RICHARDSON and his wife JANE SWAN, on 6 June 1834 at Forgan FIF. George and Mary were the parents of some eleven children. For further details of their family refer to Section 6.1 below.

5.  ♦ David Swan (c1760…1842) m. Margaret Ferguson (…)

David Swan and Margaret Ferguson were the parents of:

• JANE SWAN (born circa 1783; died 1860, Balmerino, Fife; married John Richardson, Balmerino, 1812).

It appears David and Margaret were deceased by 1851. The Fife Family History Society notes the Balmerino burial: "SWAN. DAVID: agricultural labourer at Little Inch for 57 yrs, having entered service of Mr Samuel Johnston in 1784; 11 May 1842 (82) FH May 26

A Da

1842."

. vid Swan (not necessarily the one above) was the father of:

• MARY SWAN (baptised in 1781 at Balmerino, Fife),
• JAMES SWAN (baptised in 1797 at Balmerino).

Note 1: probably unrelated, a David Swan had married a Margaret Ferguson at Hamilton, Larnarkshire, on 28 February 1790. A David Swan had apparently been born about 1765 at Hamilton, and a Margaret Ferguson about 1769 at Hamilton. A Thomas Swan married a Janet Rae at Hamilton on 16 April 1818.

If anyone has any information they are willing to share, i would be glad to hear from you.

5.1  ♦ Jane Swan (c1783…1860) m. John Richardson (…1851-58)

Jane Swan, daughter of DAVID SWAN and his wife MARGARET FERGUSON, married John Richardson on 22 March 1812 at Balmerino, Fife; Jane would have been approximately 29 years old at the time. Jane, who bore John five known children, died at Balmerino in March 1860. For further details of this family refer to Section 6 following.

6. ♦ John Richardson (c1781…1851-1858) m.(1812) Jane/Jean Swan (c1783/5…1860)

John Richardson, born Lochmaben, Dumfries, about 1781, said to be a salmon fisher, married Jean Swan on 22 March 1812 at Balmerino, Fife, Scotland. They were the parents of:

• GEORGE RICHARDSON (born or baptised July 1812, Balmerino, died 1902, Leuchars Village; married Mary Sime, Forgan FIF, 1834, withperhaps eleven issue),
• *HELEN RICHARDSON (born or baptised November 1813, Balmerino),
• *BENJAMIN RICHARDSON (born or baptised February 1815, Balmerino),
• *JOHN RICHARDSON (born or baptised November 1816, Balmerino),
• *DAVID RICHARDSON (born or baptised October 1818, Balmerino) and

JAMES RICHARDSON (born circa 1826, Balmerino).
[* - inferred from IGI (www.familysearch.com).]

Unfortunately the enumerated returns for Balmerino of the 1841 census were lost in transit to Edinburgh.
The 1851 census lists John and Jean and their children at Balmerino, Forfar:
