Hello again Olwen, I am sorry to hear of the recent loss of your husband, it must be a very sad time for you.

As far as our family history is concerned, I live in Aberdeen so my research has been restricted to online so far but I have some census details for our family from 1841 to 1901 and many certificates from 1837 onwards. I had never managed to find a birth entry for either Augustus or Kate to confirm names of their parents. I had the marriage cert for Augustus and Kate (1861) which gives his father as George Nisbett. I then found census entries showing Augustus living with his father James Frederick and this has puzzled me for a long time. I was also contacted by a descendant of Annie Maria's Upsall family a couple of years ago who shared their family line with me back to 1800.

I am looking forward to sharing all this information with you. Kindest regards meanwhile, Jill
