Thanks Mel. Looks like that could be where the date of birth came from.

If that's the case then Barbara needs to look on Scotlandspeople at the christening record as it may give a little more information. Sometimes the records give the occupation of the father. Same applies if that's where the marriage date came from. It may say if the bride and groom's fathers were still alive.

Barbara dos'nt say what she is really looking for!!

No she doesn't! Nor does she tell us what information she already has or her sources or where she has already looked - but that is par for the course!!

This is only a submitted record.

Hi

Barbara and I share ancestors and have been in contact before, so I am equally as interested in everyone's response. Also interested to see the different spellings of Tough and also Carey.

Had to laugh at the "par for the course" comment from Rootgatherer as the John G (Glen) Carey in this family was a well known caddie at Musselborough Golf Course. You must have known that!

Anyway, I will prompt Barbara to respond and say what she is looking for in particular. As we are in Western Oz, we are in a different time zone, so the response will probably be posted when you guys are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz., or at work.

Regards
Leonie

Mel

I had a PM from Barbara as follows

From BarbaraThank you for your information. Am very new to this so am not sure quite where to look. John Carey and Ann Heriot were I believe my gt gt grandparents. My grandmother Isabella Ferguson (married Richard Weston) was the daughter of Anne Carey and John Ferguson .Anne Carey was the daughter of Anne Heriot and John Carey. I have this information from The Church of Latter day Saints. My father Richard Weston was born in Musselburgh on the 21/3/1912 to Isabella and Richard and they came to Australia in 1923. I am really looking for any information on the Ferguson and Carey families. Regards Barbara


So now we know what Barbara is looking for and where the info came from.

When I get time, I'll have another look at things.


Leonie

I had absolutely no idea about the caddie! If fact, I thought I had found him elsewhere - must have another look.

Found it - it was on the 1881 English census (free on familysearch.org). There was a John G, Carey that was an architect but a bit too old and born in Sussex. There was a Scottish John Carrey born in the correct year who was a prisoner in Kent.

Since some of your Carreys lived with Janet Tough, this birth may be worth looking at on Scotlandspeople
