Hello Rootsgather, well for years we were under the assumption that the wives names were as follows.

Ist Elizabeth Sinclair
2nd Alice Hutton.

But since then we have found a corrected entry which say the names were Elizabeth Douglas and Alice Annan and the third wife was Jane Turpy; the son in law James Napier Silver registered the death of William Bisset snr in 1884.

The marriage details show William married Elizabeth Douglas daughter of the late Charles Douglas in Perth. MaureeninNY has traced a William Bisset "jeweller" aged 48 on the 1881 census England which looks very much like him.. :-D

Unlikely to have an occupation for his father - although occasionally OPRs give father's occupation. Also unlikely that Douglas mistranscribed as Duff.

Who was the informant on his father's death registration please? Whose marriage registration gave the mother's maiden surname as Douglas?

Treemadnancy Report 16 Aug 2013 12:07

according to the 1841 census he was born circa 1835, so the birth in 1832 is a good 3 years out... :-S

If that birth had his fathers occupation as "jeweller" then we would be definitely on the right track.

Mmm I don't suppose I will, but can you see him in 1861 (perhaps he has married) have tried looking for a death, giving his mothers surname but nothing comes up. :-0

Looking for my gr gr great grandfathers first son William Bisset born c1833 Edinburgh Midlothian, his mother was Elizabeth Douglas.. No birth record traced, he was listed on the 1841 census with his parents William and Elizabeth and a sister Elizabeth born Perth c1835. His father William remarried Alice Annan and she is listed as his mother on the 1851 census, William is aged 18 and a jeweller (same as his father) Alice has died and William Snr married Jane Turpie. But there is no sign of son William... Can anyone help?
