Ihave the following infotmation on Thomas and his wife Jean
THOMAS MILNE
I HAVE NO CONCRETE PROOF AS TO THOMAS’ PARENTAGE BUT I HAVE SOME TENTATIVE IDEAS (see considerations)
ACCORDING TO THE I.G.I. HE WAS BORN IN BRECHIN, ANGUS AND THE 1841 CENSUS RECORDS FROM DUN PUTS HIS AGE AT 65, WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT HE WAS BORN, CIRCA 1776?
THE I.G.I. RECORDS, NOTE HIS MARRIAGE TO JANE DEAS AS THE 3/11/1809 AT BRECHIN (THE O.P.R’s RECORD HIM AS THOMAS MILL) AND ASSUMING HE WAS BORN IN 1776 HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 10 YEARS OLDER THAN JANE.
THE BRECHIN O.P.R. RECORDS SHOW THAT HE HAD 5 CHILDREN ALL BORN IN BRECHIN;
MARY MARY JAMES BETTY JOHN (our connection)
b.18/8/1810 b. 16/12/1811 b. 19/6/1813 b. 13/2/1815 b. 7/5/1816
d. 1811? d. 17/12/1882
c.19/8/1810 c. 22/12/1811 c. 27/6/1813 c. 19/2/1815 c. 12/5/1816
THEY MAY HAVE HAD OTHER CHILDREN IN A DIFFERENT DISTRICT AT A LATER TIME (see further research). See the 1841 census records.
HIS MAIN OCCUPATION WAS AN AGRICULTURAL LABOURER BUT IN THE CHRISTENING RECORDS OF HIS CHILDREN THERE IS MORE DETAIL:
FROM: -
1810: HE IS RECORDED AS A FARM SERVANT LIVING AT WINDY EDGE.
1815: HE IS RECORDED AS A LABOURER AT THE TIMBER MARKET.
1816: HE IS RECORDED AS A LABOURER AT THE TIMBER MARKET.
THE 1841 CENSUS RECORDS AT DUN, ANGUS WHERE HE HAD MOVED TO AT SOME EARLIER POINT IN TIME RECORDS HIM AS LIVING AT DUNS MILL AND GIVES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS:
THOMAS MILNE, 65YEARS, AGRICULTURAL LABOURER,
JEAN MILNE, 50 YEARS, (JANE)
JEAN MILNE, 20 YEARS.
