My Scottish "Wilkie" Family
David Wilkie
1786 - Yes, date unknown
Generation: 1
Generation: 3
1. David Wilkie was born on 18 Jun 1786 in Dalgetty, Fife, Scotland (son of John Wilkie* and Janet Stevenson); and died. Notes:
Birth Source: OPR , christened 18 June 1786 at Dalgetty, Parents John Wilkie and Janet Stevenson; C114224 # 0199
A Wilkie researcher has contacted me, shared some info and also had a family tree on ancestry.ca
One of her statements is that a David Wilkie - Son of John Wilkie & Janet Stevenson - died Jul 25 1831 in Aberdour Fife Scotland
More research required by me to prove that this David Wilkie - is my Great Great Great Grandfather Robert Wilkie's twin brother
Is it possible that David Wilkie died the same day as my Great Great Great grandfather Robert? same place too - like Aberdour Fife Scotland?
2. John Wilkie* was born on 26 Jun 1746 in Kennoway, Fifeshire, Scotland (son of John Wilkie and M. Dewar); and died. Notes:
Birth Source; Christened 29 June 1746 at Kennoway; Parents John Wilkie and Margaret Dewar; C114344, # 2796
I am presuming for the time being a probability exists these may be the parents of my G G Great Grandfather Robert Wilkie. My reasons being that the dates jive and the naming pattern is familiar. Further descendants used the names of Dewar as a middle name for one of the children, suggesting that John Wilkie & Margaret Dewar may also be connected as poss. parents. Further research required to truly verify as fact however.
As of January 2011, many Wilkie researchers are still clinging to this strong probability - that John Wilkie & Janet Stevenson are indeed the Parents of Robert Wilkie married to Christian Paul,
Isabel Ann Wilkie married to James William Dick
John Wilkie & Christian Ross , then Helen Main
William Wilkie & Henrietta Aiken Philp
The sources being used are Old Parish Records, Aberdour Parish; IGI, various individual birth, marriage, death records kept by various family descendants and family stories or legends HW
However going back from John Wilkie married to Janet Stevenson, the possibilities and probabilities are many - some researchers choosing John Wilkie & Margaret Dewar, others William Wilkie & Margaret Donaldson !!! On and on goes the puzzle HWJohn married Janet Stevenson on 13 Oct 1769 in Dalgetty, Fife, Scotland. Janet was born on 24 Apr 1749 in , , Fife, Scotland; was christened on 30 Apr 1749 in , Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
