ATTENTION ERIN BRADFORD
Unable to contact sweetpea203. Erin can you please help? I sent this via
Black L to as a Cc. It was returned by my ISP
as unknown address.

"Hi I saw your message at Ancestry.com. Jessie Addison was my great
aunt born in Alloa in 1873 and she married married John Black, an Enamel
Closet Maker,
on 23rd June 1893 in Stirling (Ref 490, Entry 65). Her sister Margaret was
one of the witnesses.
Jessie and John had three children in Scotland - William, in 1894 (Ref 465/A
193), James Addison in 1895 (Ref 465/A, Entry 492) and Margaret Nicol in
1897 (Ref 465/A, 347).
My Grandma, Margaret Addison was sister to Jessie and a witness at the
wedding. There were 10 children in the Addison family and Jessie and her
husband emigrated to the Eastern USA in the early 1900's or late 1800's
perhaps 1897.

Another Addison sister, Christina married a man named Latimer and I
believe that they also emigrated to the Eastern USA, either Boston.
or Philadelphia. or Florida. Do you know of them?

My Grandma married Charles Nicholson and had 7 children, the eldest
was my father. Grandma and Grandpa and 5 of the "children"
emigrated to British Columbia Canada in 1929 where Isabella Fyfe
(nee Addison) lived as did 3 or 4 of the Addison brothers to Jessie
and Grandma. One Nicholson son remained in Scotland and another Nicholson
son moved to
England.

We are definitely related and you have relatives here in Canada,
Scotland and England and New Zealand to my personal knowledge.
There are quite a few of us!

I posted a notice for you on the Black/Addison message board but
noted that your initial enquiry was in 1999.
I hope this helps as I have our great grandparents and further back
on the Addison line including marriages, births etc.

If it would be of any help to you I will be happy to send the
information along to you.

Sincerely,
Margaret Jean (Jeanie) Nicholson
