Hi,

Could it be Fleming?

Regards,
Isobel

I couldnt see it that clearly to be sure but if its them - on the IGI and if they also had children Agnes and William b 1804 -7 in Old Greyfriars Midlothian then its Fleming !! assuming the submitter is right

Hi

This one's a cracker!!

I would agree with Isobel that it could be Fleming comparing the F with the word 'Fifteenth' in the date entry below.
I had a quick look on IGI for a suitable marriage around 1830 Adam Scott to Mary... but nothing showed up across Scotland; however that proves nothing.
A search for Adam Scott with a wife Mary in Midlothian showed no results either but they may not have been Midlothian anyway.

A county search would take abit of time but might turn up something!

I checked the IGI and it may be that Joan's mother was Mary Fleeming. Although the search for Mary Fleeming returned results for Mary Fleming as well, I've included only the Mary Fleeming results.

See also the "F" in Father-in-Law in the top record.

Near certainly Fleming.

Many many thanks to you all - I will go with Mary Fleeming / Fleming, and I like the marriage in Peebles - the dates seem about right. I will follow up the birth details kindly given by paddyscar and see where they lead to.
Interestingly Mary's g grandson John Johnstone married a Fleming (and they have been virtually impossible to research - how many James Fleming were there in Lanarkshire in the 1850s!)

Thanks again
