Yes, that is right ,the first William died, and then came James Gibb,followed
Helen(Ellen) stillborn, then my William Reid,, two girls Elizabeth and Margaret, then last Henrietta died at birth, the year before they sailed on the "Anne of Dundee" in1854 Ages in 41 and 51 and shipping lines argue . and I did try to see if she had married early, and the name came up as a' Young', but I could not find out if that was the case , so I keep looking !!

If they had any children in 1855 or later the marriage date or least the year will be on the birth certificate.



Margaret Fullarton Keith Barron Gibb
Scotland, Births and Baptisms
Name Margaret Fullarton Keith Barron Gibb
Gender Female
Christening Date 22 Mar 1813
Christening Place COLLACE,PERTH,SCOTLAND
Birth Date ****19 Mar 1813****
Father's Name James Gibb
Mother's Name Elspeth Taylor.


Could this be a first William who died,a second child was often given a siblings name who had died.


Scotland, Births and Baptisms
Name William Doig
Gender Male
Christening Date 24 Oct 1841
Christening Place DUNDEE,ANGUS,SCOTLAND
Birth Date 17 Oct 1841
Father's Name Thomas Doig
Mother's Name Margaret Gibb.

as Margaret was born in 1813 there is a possible chance she had been married before so married under her then married name.pre 1855 marriages didnt often name parent or a parent.

Margee .........


I think it was Beverley assuming that she could tick your post to show that you had the correct family.


Beverley ...............

for future reference, please do NOT tick any post on any thread on GR unless your request has been completely answered.

That is the meaning of the tick, and shows on the Message Board listing as an indication to others that there is no further help needed.


Unfortunately, it is a quirk of the system that a tick once clicked cannot be removed.

Why has this been marked as answered?

A tree on Ancestry says that Thomas Doig (1817-1894) and his wife Margaret Fullarton Keith Barron Gibb (1813-1868) and son William Reid Doig (1847-1933) all died in Australia.

Other trees say that Thomas was the son of John Doig (1767-1841) and Helen Lauder (1776-1851).

PM from Bev


Thomas and Wife Margaret "Gibb" Doig are my Great Grandparents William Reid Doig My Grandfather. DNA has linked my family to John Doig and Jean Mackie both born 1737--1743. but we have not been able to find marriage of Thomas and Margaret Fullerton Keith Barron Gibb, Margaret's Death certificate states that they married in Collace. we have with the Kennel Master and a few others decided he Thomas, then descended from William Doig and Isabel Leslie. But cannot find BMD certificates only follow Scottish naming . so would love to get any ideas from all Bev
