• Notes

  OPR 401/Births 1809 "October 04, 1809 Born to Robert Wilkie, Farm Servant at Bowprie Banks and Christian Paul, his spouse a Daughter, bapt. 8 October named Elizabeth" 2nd source: Birth Source Fiche - Dunfermline Library - 0027-0028;6025660 Christened 8 October, 1809 Elizabeth was enumerated with John Philp on the census of 6 Jun 1841 at Bankhead, Dalgety, Fife, Scotland, as Elizabeth Wilkie. Elizabeth was listed as Supported by the parish, born in the county and aged 30. (ages were rounded down to the nearest 5). She was in the household of John PHILP and (2nd) wife Catherine JOHNSTON at Bankhead in 1841/ They were living with John's son Robert PHILP, tenant farmer of Bankhead and Robert's wife Margaret LOCHTIE and family. (from Judy Philip - Australia) She was enumerated on the 1851 census with Andrew Arment at Aberdour, Fife, Scotland. The entry listed one Elizabeth, 61, MIL, Right Parish Relief, Birthplace Aberdour. ( I, HW, think it is a misprint by enumerator and should be 41, and sister in law SIL) Fife Family History Society Journal Vol 9, No 3, April 1997 Aberdour Poor Register, 1845 lists WILKIE, ELIZABETH: aged 36, and native of parish, is an orphan, and resides with her grand-uncle, John Philp, at Bankhead, par of Dalgety; is fatous (sic) and otherwise very weakly, and hardly able to wak out of doors without aid of staff; has 4 brothers and 2 sisters, of whom 3 brothers & one sister are married with families, and the other brother & sister are in service; does not receive assistance from any of them; Entry: 4 June 1838 at 3/6 weekly; in 1847 -48 resided with her sister and brother-in-law, Andrew Arment, at Cupar-moor, and removed with them to Puddledub on North Balmule on 11 Nov 1848. Death Registration: Source: 1858, Parish 401, Entry 17 At Beverkae, Parish of Aberdour, on 15 March 1858, Elizabeth Wilkie, Spinster, aged 52, daughter of Robert Wilkie, Ploughman deceased, and Christian Paull(sic). Cause of Death - Chronic Hydrocephalus (30 years), buried in New Church Yard, Aberdour as certified by Hugh Livingston, Gravedigger, the informant Andrew Arment, brother in law. There certainly are discrepancies of Elizabeth's age from the Census records and Death Registration - however as noted earlier on the 1841 census - the ages were rounded down to the nearest 5; Brother in law Andrew Arment (Arnott) perhaps didn't know her actual birth date when he registered her death. hw

Altho the entry on 1851 Census is not accurate, I believe this is our Elizabeth Wilkie, first born of Robert Wilkie & Christian Paul. She was first enumerated on1841 census, living with grandfather John Philp & 2nd wife Catherine Johnston, further on this entry she is noted as Parish relife, birthplace Aberdour. Age is erroneous as should be 43, and relationship should be SIL not MIL. Reason for Parish relief, Elizabeth was a hyrocephalic child.
