Isabella Chalmers MMFFM ahnentafel 57.
Updated with new information in greenAlmost a complete mystery. Never seen anywhere except on son's marriage cert.
Name - "official" name and what they were known as Isabella Chalmers (or maybe Chambers) Chalmers is incorrect - her maiden name is ELDER Date and place of birth Not known but before 1822, as first (?) child born 1834Aberdeen About 1816, Grange, Banffshire. Names of parents Not known (From her death certificate, so may not be accurate) John Elder and Isabella Skinner. Date and place of baptism - if applicable Not known Not found Details of each of his or her marriages - if any 16 December 1848, Grange, Banff, after banns, John Simpson Occupation(s) - if any Not known Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). 1832 Gives birth to son Alexander Bonnyman in Keith, Banff 1840 Gives birth to son William Brown in Grange, Banff 1843 Gives birth to son John Elder or Simpson 1845 Gives birth to Isobel Simpson 1848 Marries John Simpson 1849 Gives birth to George Simpson 1853 Gives birth to James simpson 1854 Gives birth to Margaret Simpson Spends remainder of life in Grange, Banff, as far as I can tell. Date, place and cause of death 17 May 1899 Balnamoonhill, Grange, Banff, heart disease, bronchitis, aged 83 Date and place of burial 17 May 1892 (incorrect transcription) Grange Kirkyard Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Not known Memorial inscription - if any Isabella Elder, the wife of John Simpson, the mother of William Brown, the parents of Margaret Simpson, aged 83. Headstone ref G279 On the marriage certificate of her son Alexander Bonnyman in 1868 she is described as "Isabella Simpson nee Chalmers". In 1861, Alexander was lodging with a CHAMBERS family in Aberdeen - Chalmers mistranscribed or vice versa?EDIT - It now seems that Chalmers was a mistake and that Alexander assumed that was his mother's maiden name, as Walter Chalmers his uncle brought him up. (Note to self: There are Valuation Rolls for Balnamoon from the late 1860 to early 1900s.) Last edited by Olde Crone; 31-12-10 at 09:34. Reason: Further information |
