James Dunnet and Isabella Cook

ElaineGreig63 — 2011-08-22 15:41:00Z

Anyone have any information that may help me find their parents. I have James Dunnet down as being born about 1793 that may be wrong and Isabella at 1798. I have the death certificate of their son Maxwell and it does not say they were deceased at the time of his death in 1857 but cannot trace any census records or death cert., for either of the two names

I've just linked these 2 into my extended family (not direct links) but am trying to see if there is another line that brings the descendents together again at a later date.

Will get you more information once I have confirmed my research.

Hi Peggy,
Just to add to our information, Isabella Sinclair Patterson nee Dunett was baptised Sinclair Dunnet. There is a Tree on Ancestry.com here, that looks promising and the owner is Willeen28 from New South Wales, Australia. Have sent an e-mail, so hoping to hear from her soon. She looks like she may be connected to a George Dunnet, a younger brother to Sinclair Patterson.
Looks like:
Alexander Dunnet father 1788 - Jan. 8th. 1858
Magaret Baikie mother 1786-1879
Jean Dunnet
Elizabeth Dunnet
Sinclair Dunnet
Janet Dunnet
John Dunnet
George Dunnet

Marriage Alexander Dunnett, Margaret Baikie, Abt 1800

peggyc2sky — 2009-06-13 20:47:08Z

I am looking for the parents of Isabella Sinclair Dunnett born abt. 1815 (some sources say 1819). Thinking these might be the parents because one of Isabella's daughters is named Margaret Baikie Patterson. I know Isabella was born in Scotland although not sure where. Some people think Ratter.
Thanks for any help
Peggy

Would you have any other information on them as I am finding it difficult to research

Thankyou Leisa

Re: Dunnet's

mrosie_1 — 2008-01-07 22:48:39Z

George's parents were most likely Andrew Dunnet and Anne Andrews so was born in 1771.

The date you have for Esther is really her baptism not her birthday.

Hello Leisa
Lovely to hear from you, lots of the Dunnet's married into the Rosie Family but I do not have an Esther Rosie in my family tree. However I have come across a distant cousin living in Canada called Maryann Rosie if you go on the Roots web site and click on family trees and then on Scotstar you will find the Rosie Family Tree and you will be amazed at her research.
Good luck if you find a link to my Dunnet's would be pleased to hear from you again.
Yours Barbara Dunnett

I have been researching the Dunnet Family Tree and have gained lots of help from Maryann Rosie's Family Tree on the Roots Web Site.
Unfortunately I have traced my blood line back to Thomas Dunnet born 1699 who married Helen born 1700 but am now stuck don't know where to gain any more information.
If anyone could help me would appreciate it.

Re: Dunnet

2006-02-05 19:27:06Z

I most likely do have more information on Catherine's family in my files. Whether or not she is actually related to me is questionable although I do have lots of Dunnet relatives.

You should be able to access it in World Connect databases.

Mine is Scotstar. It was recently updated from my Legacy files.

As I am working off my laptop my Legacy file is not available to me at the moment.

Re: Dunnet

Catherine's parents were Alexander Dunnet and Janet Ham.

She died Jul 28 1874.

I'm looking for a Catherine Dunnet b. October 01, 1824, m. John Swanson (1811-1884) on December 11, 1846 in Canisbay, Co of Caithness, Scotland. They had at least eight children born in Barrock, Parish of Dunnet, Co. of Caithness, Scotland. Catherine died July 28, 1874 in Barrack, Co. of Caithness, Scotland.

I am trying to trace relatives of the Leslie Dunnet. His father was James Dunnet from Charra, West Coast, South Australia. He had an aunt or grandmother called Jean McQueen who came from Scotland and her maiden name was McGregor.
If this is your family please get in touch as I am a distant relative! Thank you. H. Fleming

Potted history of my research so far (not much as I have been sidetracked by my mother’s family tree in Yorkshire)

Frederick’s father was William Benjamin Dunnett B:1826 Chediston. On 1881 census he was living in Black Heath, Wenhaston, Suff. His wife was Mary A (born in Darsham, Suff), daughter Martha A and grandson Arthur G born 1880 (possibly child of Martha A). Fred’s sister Emma born 1848 married Forster.

Frederick Dunnett Senior B:1854 Cookley D:
Married Kezia Barber (Born 1853 Redisham) in June 1873

Grandad Fred’s siblings were Edgar B:1874 (who married Mary, two daughters Annie & Mary, as shown on 1901 census (?died 1879) Ernest B: 1876 Ellen B:1879 Emma B:1881 Clara B:1889 Alice B:1894 Emily B:1897 & Arthur B:1900. Another daughter Kezia died 6 days of age in 1876.

Frederick (son) Born: 1886, Died:
Married Ethel Maud Rayner on 17.4.1911, she was born 1886 Islington and died in 1926.

This last Frederick (born 1886) is my paternal grandfather, one of his children was Alfred Dunnett who was my father.

Also through James and Margaret's daughter Christian. Her daughter Francis Sinclair Begg ( 2nd cousin 3 times removed) married my 2nd great grand uncle James Matheson.

Re: Dunnet/Laird

2004-02-20 00:27:57Z

The relationship would be through James and Margaret Coghill. James was my 3rd great granduncle. My direct line would be through James' brother Walter.

Jessie Dunnet & John Grant

lfod — 2003-05-23 17:47:29Z

Jessie Dunnett, who I believe may have been Janet Dunnet (I have seen one and two Ts at the end of the name) married November 07, 1850, Wick, Caithness, Scotland.

Their daughter Elizabeth Grant (b. 1856) m. Thomas Allan in 1878, Forfar.

Posting to see if anyone here has any connections to this particular group of Dunnetts.

Re: Dunnet/Laird

kaycee1234 — 2003-05-23 02:58:48Z

Wondering if we might possibly have a connection. I have a Christine Dunnet married to Magnus Banks. They had two children, Christina and David Banks. I have no locations for either, but David's great-grandmother is from Canisbuy. Does this sound at all familiar? I would assume they were born around the early 1900's?

Re: Dunnet/Laird

kaycee1234 — 2003-05-23 02:58:48Z

I also have a John Dunnet, married to Isabella Jack of Dunnet, Caithness, Scotland. They were married Feb 11 1869, in Reay, Caithness, Scotland.

Finally I have a Margaret Jane Dunnet, married to William Mowat. William was born in 1879 in Scarfskerry, Caithness, Scotland.

Hope some of this sounds familiar!

I don't know of a connection here. I know little about this family aside from my direct line to the Dunnet/Laird couple.
I haven't found a marriage for their son John, but family history says that some of the sons died on the young side while on a rescue mission at sea. I suspect John may have been one of them.
