MOODIE family in Fife in 1841

[DaveHam9]

Hello crankypants,

Ah, thank you. Sorry about that. I didn't think I had McLAREN. I copied the census data to the MOODIE part of the database. If there is more than one family name I should copy it to each one but I worry about the database getting too large. The larger it gets the greater the chance of corrupt links between the records.

Regards.

Dave

Hello crankypants,

Thank you very much. Yes, ages are out but it looks like the family. Elizabeth was born on 27 Apr 1832. I don't know about James.

I'll check and see if I have any more queries re MOODIE.

Thanks.

Dave

Thank you very much. I really did mean spouse Jane. :biggrin:

Dave

Forgot to mention if Jane died in 1886 she is doing a could job of hiding herself in 1881 census.

Hello crankypants,

I didn't know there were 'phonetic' keyboards.

Hello Dave,
I'm new to FHUK, and picked up this thread by accident.
The family you are looking for are as follows:

James Moodie bap. 4 Nov 1792 in Carnock, Fife, Scotland died 22 Jan 1874 Blackburn, Dunfirmline, Fife, to James Moodie and Elizabeth Thomson, married 1st Agnes (Ann) Keltie 8 May 1818 Saline, Fife. She born abt. 1798 Dunfirmline, Fife and died 20 April 1859 Inverkeithing, Fife. Married 2nd Jane Hutton 2nd Dec. 1859 Carnock, Fife. She born 6 May 1811 Carnock, Fife and died 12 Dec 1886, Carnock, Fife.
Children to James Moodie and Agnes Keltie:
Christian Moodie 4 May 1827, Dunfirmline, Fife
Janet Moodie 20 May 1824, Dunfirmline, Fife
Ann Moodie 14 Feb 1830
Elizabeth Moodie 27 April 1832
Robert Taylor Moodie 23 July 1834
Adam Moodie 31 Aug 1839
There could be more children somewhere as there is a bit of a gap between the marriage and the first child, also a gap between the second and third child, but miscarriages etc. could account for those.
Futher info:
"James Mudie, workman in Carnock and Elisabeth Thomson his spouse had a son born upon the 2nd Nov. and baptized upon the 4th of said month in presence of the congregation, called James"

James also married (2) Jane Hutton, daughter of William Hutton and Susan Pye.
Marriage: 1859; Carnock, Fife, Scotland; according to the Forms of the Free Church of Scotland; age 60; residence at Elgin Colliery, Dunfermline; engine keeper; widower; parents James Moodie labourer, deceased and Elizabeth Moodie M.S. Thomson, deceased; witnesses Robert Condie and Thomas Brown
Death:
James MOODIE, colliery engine keeper, married to
Jane HUTTON, formerly to Ann KELTY
1874 Jan 22, 5h PM, aged 82
Blackburn, Dunfermline
Father: James MOODIE, general labourer, dec
Mother: Elizabeth M/S THOMSON, dec
Cause: general debility some years, retention of urine, three weeks, as cert by Jas Morris, surgeon
Inf: James Moodie, son, present

You might be interested to know that James had a brother Thomas born 1785 in Carnock who went to Canada with his family around 1822 and founded quite a large dynasty there. My husband descends from another brother, Andrew, born 1795 who's daughter Elspith married back into the Thomsons.
Hope this helps,
Annemaj

Hello Annemaj,

Thank you very much. I'll update my database and then see if I have some queries you might be able to help me with.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,
I have quite a lot on the Moodie family and am happy to help with any queries.
Annemaj

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello Annemaj,

Do you have any info on Agnes/Ann KELTIE/KELTY and her siblings and her parents? I have some details but the family is very confusing with BLAIR and DOUGLAS(S) both appearing as maiden surnames in death certificates of the children.

You are right about other MOODIE children. Adam the youngest was probably born about 1839 and the older ones Elisabeth about 1820 and James about 1926.

Regards,

Dave

Ann / Agnes b. abt 1798 Dunfermline (Agnes on the marriage)
Janet b. 1824
Christian b. 1827
Ann b. 1830
Elizabeth b. 1832
Robert T b. 1834

Thanks.

Hi Dave.. Andrew Campbell Moodie ,son of Robert Moodie and Agnes Campbell was born 9 May 1861.. he married Ann Mcewan born 1863... Wilhelmena Mcewan Moodie .. my maternal grandmother.. was one of their children.. I will post more at another time... Are you related to the Moodies.. Sue

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello Sue,

Thanks for the info.

No, I'm a descendant of Ann's (Agnes) sister Elisabeth KELTIE & spouse James SANDS.

That's a marriage about 1805 I've not yet found.

No one seems exactly sure who all the siblings are of Elisabeth and Ann with some death certificates saying mother is Elizabeth BLAIR and others saying Elizabeth DUNDAS(S) and one even

Elizabeth Blair Kelty M.S. Dundas

Here is one of several transcriptions of death certificates another researcher sent me. I don't have the originals of any of the KELTIEs.

From Death Certificate:
Death: 1859; Milesmark, Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland; recorded at Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland; Ann Moodie; wife of an engineman; married; age 61; parents Adam Keltie, ship carpenter, deceased and Elizabeth Keltie M.S.Blair, deceased; abcess of kidney; buried at the burying ground, Dunfermline; witness Christina Moodie, daughter.

Regards,

Dave
