Notes about Elizabeth Syme

1. Images on this page have been downloaded from Ancestry.co.uk.

2. It appears that Elizabeths Syme's husband, William Stein, dies before the 1851 census, as she is living with her son, John Stein, in S(outh) Oakley, Saline Parish, in 1851. A possible death has been recorded, but cannot be proven. This is the only death that fits from Scotlandspeople.

3. Elizabeths birth record names her Betty Sim.

4. a. STEEN, ELIZABETH, 1851 Census, F, Age 62, 455/ 4/ 1, Saline, Fife (Recorded as Head of family in 1851 census)

5. b. STEEN, JOHN, 1851 Census, M, Age 23, 455/ 4/ 1, Saline, Fife (Recorded as Son to Elizabeth in 1851 census)

6. Ancestry.co.uk adds the Templeton family, Robert, Head, Jane, his wife, and George, their son, in the same house as Elizabeth and John Stein. Robert Templeton is recorded as being son to Elizabeth? Download from Scotlands People shows -
Robert Templeman, recorded as son to Elizabeth Steen is living in another house, adjacent to Elizabeth Steen (Head) and John Steen, her son, with his own family, his wife Jane and their son George. Also Steen should read Stein (This info reported to Ancestry.co.uk)
Removed from Word document 1851 Census.

7. Elizabeth Syme's death record in 1859 confirms her parents as John Syme and Isabella Brown. John Symes Occupation recorded as a Miner! John Syme and Isabella Brown marriage he is recorded as being a weaver in 1785?
What I cannot confirm is the birth dates of John Syme and Isabella Brown, and their parent's, as they both appear to have died before Statutory records began!
