The family bible records the birth at April 27 rather than May 4, but in this case I choose the official record. | McArthur, Jemima Catherine Ann "Mina" (I550)
|
| 210 |
The first name is not visible for some reason, but the date and gender matches up with the 1881 census, so this seems likely to be Jemima. The date of May 4 does not match up exactly with family records that say April 27, but pretty darn close. | Source (S90)

The land for the Church of the Ascension was donated by the McLaren family - i think Henry + Mary McLaren who lived in Oak Bank, Hamilton.

The Orkney Traills book lists his birthday as "16 Feb 1866" but I think this must be a typo. Potentially the 16 Feb is the right date, but in 1859? | Traill, Thomas Edward Strickland (I3222)

The source says that Harriet Sarle was born 1786, but it must be 1796 as that is what is written on her gravestone and also 1796 would put the children into chronological order in the bible list. | Source (S449)

This is a second Alexander, they had two, according to Joan Heddle. Here is her description:
ALEXANDER (second of the name) was born at Kirkwall on 5th July, 1789. He enlisted as an Ensign in the Royal York Rangers (later absorbed into the African Corps) on 4 May 1809 and served in Goree and Guernsey. When Goree was ceded back to france in 1817 some of the Royal African Corps were transferred to Cape Town and Alexander, a Lieutenant since 1813, went to Grahamstown, on of the military stations near the cape. Here he settled, married and had a large family, and became a close friend of Donald Moodie, a brother of his sister-in-law, Henrietta Moodie, who became Colonial Secretary for Natal and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. | Heddle, Lieut. Alexander (I3998)
|
| 227 |
This is an attestation by his Aunt years later, in 1933. The year conflicts with his military records, so there could be a mistake, but if so then there is a consistency problem with John's brother who was born 8 Aug 1875. | Source (S73)

Was a big wig in the London and Brighton Railway.
A note from Martin Traill about him:
Sarle, [Sir] Allen
Sarle was born at Westness, Rousay, Orkney, of Cornish parentage in 1828. He was educated at Selkirk Grammar School and the High School in Edinburgh. He was a junior clerk in the office of an Edinburgh stockbroker. In 1848 he moved to the London office of the Shropshire Union Railway Company and when this amalgamated with the LNWR he moved to the Audit Office of the London & Brighton Railway. In 1854 he became the Accountant and in 1867 the Secretary and in 1885 the Secretary/General Manager. The function was divided again in 1898. He was knighted in 1896. In 1867 there was a financial crisis on the LBSCR and all the executive officers, other than Sarle, were forced to resign. Samuel Laing MP and a new Board were appointed and they developed the company to become highly profitable. He would appear to be an excellent candidate for a full biography | Sarle, Sir Allen Lanyon (I4178)

When Emma Wyatt Baker died of consumption June 1, 1859, at the age of 34, just a few months after her husband, she left a young family of two sons and four daughters who were brought up by relatives. Letters of Guardianship were filed in 1870 by Henry and Emma Wyatt where they were appointed legal guardians of the two youngest children, Emma Maria Baker and George Percival Baker. | Wyatt, Emma (I419)
|
| 245 |
While her memorial says 24 Dec 1799, I am still attaching this birth record of 4 Dec 1799 as it fits so many of the elements including being baptized in the same church as she subsequently married Henry Wyatt in. The family might have been mistaken about the 24 Dec, or errors in the record or the transcription could have led to the 4 Dec. | Emma Squibb (I418)
