  • (Groom) Marriage*: William Dickson crofter married Mary Thomson domestic servant say 1841; I'm unsure if there ever was a marriage between William Dickson and Mary Thomson. But Jane Dickson carries and uses his name in statutory records, with David Airth as a witness to her marriage - and is visiting the Airth family with her daughter Sarah Airth Taylor in 1871. Then in 1901 is recorded with Sarah Airth (b1851) as her sister and her grandaughter Sarah A Ford (b1901).1
  • Death*: William Dickson crofter died before 1849.1
  • (Witness) Research-Note: I'm unsure if there was ever a marriage between William Dickson and Mary Thomson as no record is obvious. But Jane Dickson carries and uses his name in statutory records, with David Airth as a witness to her marriage - and is visiting the Airth family with her daughter Sarah Airth Taylor (b1871) in 1871. Then in 1901 is recorded with Sarah Airth (b1851) as her sister and her grandaughter Sarah A Ford (b1901). Then at death, she is registered with William Dickson farmer & Mary Thomson domestic servant as parents - the inclusion of Mary's occupation is indicative of an illegitimate birth.
