Death Excerpt: 1918 Parish 463, Entry #29
"On 5 December 1918, at South Street, Milnathort, Parish of Orwell, William Wilkie, aged 81 (poss. age mistake here - HW), Shepherd retired, son of Charles Wilkie, Shepherd, and Agnes Paton, both deceased. Informant was Christina Todd, Niece, Hattonburn. *** Tis unusual that a wife, family were not mentioned, nor the cause of Death.
Upon downloading copy of death registration for William Wilkie - there was a notation of corrected entry - thus downloaded that
which states Cause of Death was Heart Failure but no mention of his wife or ex wife.

Upon searching for a death certificate for his wife ( ex wife Jessie Howie) she is registered under the name Jessie Wilkie - widow of William Wilkie. I cannot find any children born to this couple, as marriage occurred in 1868 - by 1871 Wm is with his Mother, & Jessie with her side of the family. Haven't found any chn born in the Leslie area between dates of 1868-1871 either. Another challenge

Have attempted to use ScotlandsPeople site to find a marriage of Charles & Agnes (Paton) Wilkie as well as the 1841 census. Tried finding them via children's names too and again, nothing came up that was their family. perhaps the 1841 census where they were residing is one of many that perished as these were being transported to New Registry House.

Robert married Christian Paul on 29 Oct 1808 in Aberdour Parish, Fife, Scotland. Christian (daughter of *Charles Paul and Elisbeth Philp) was born on 16 Nov 1787 in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland; died on 5 Jan 1834 in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland; was buried in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland.

Death Source: OPR Aberdour Deaths 1834 , Pg 42
Christian Paul, Widow of Robt Wilkie, Farm Servant, Burnbrae, Age 46, Died 5th January and was interred on 8th currt in the New Church Yard

Christian (Paul) Wilkie's death left all of her children parentless, and I believe none of them were married at the time of her death. Her youngest Child, David Johnston Wilkie would be approximately 8 years old. At this time, I have no idea where David went for care and loving - 8 years old seems young even in these times to be on your own.

Baptism:
It seems that Christian Paul's birth has occurred prior to the 'official' marriage date given in Parish records as Jan 31 1788 or 6 July 1788, thus explains why her birth not found on IGI or other sources, except the Old Parish Records and altho many other sources indicate this is probably our Christian Paul, I cannot state this as absolutely Fact

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 HW

John 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]
