BIRTH

 

When Mary married in 1770 she was of Trinity Gask parish and the marriage was proclaimed there.  There are two possible C of Mary at Trinity Gask:

 

C 10Oct1736 Mary LENNOCH d David LENNOCH & Margret SMYTH [34 at m]

C  3Apl1749 Mary LENNOCH d John LENNOCH & Cathrine CLOW  [21 at m]

 

Mary's first son was named John and her second daughter was named Catherine.  On this basis and on grounds of age, the second baptism is almost certainly the correct one.  (Mary's fourth son was named David, but no daughter named Margaret).  Moreover, the 2nd son and 1st daughter are probably named after James' parents, giving a "reversed" Scottish naming pattern - ie 1st son 2nd da after mother's parents, 2nd son, 1st da after father's parents rather than the other way round. I have seen this also in the DINGWALL family.

 

The marriage of David & Margaret was not found in the OPR index, neither any further baptisms; David son of David was C at Dunblane 1738 and 1745 (thouh other baptisms to David preceded these), and John son of David was baptised at Fowlis Wester 1742.  In 1746 David married Helen MURRAY at Trinity Gask and baptised  three children there: James 1748, Ann 1750, Matthew 1757

 

MARRIAGE

 

The death certificate of David JUSTICE the bleacher/calico printer identifies his parents as James JUSTICE, blacksmith, and Mary LENNOX; the census gives his birthplace as Tibbermore.  David's baptism at Tibbermore is preceded by the following m at Tibbermore:

 

m 4Nov1770 James JUSTICE otp & Mary LENOX of Trinity Gask proclaimed 21,28,4Nov

 

The session book of Trinity Gask has the following entry:

 

21Oct1770 received proclamation money from James JUSTICE in parish of Tippermuir and Mary Lennoch in this

DEATH

 

no JUSTICE burials were found at Tibbermore between Oct1783 to and 1837;  no suitable MI found in index of Perthshire MI

 

their two youngest children both moved to Glasgow around 1825, was this after the death of their parents, or did their parents move with them?
