TOD

Have done a fair bit on the TOD family around Dunning area from 1730's to 2002. Would love to trace missing links.
family tree is on website [www.thetods.clara.net]

Dear Stuart,
I have a rather complicated family tree, however the gist of it is that I have a George Tod md to a Margaret Adie (when?where-not sure). I can find about 5 or 6 children that belong to them in Dunfermline.
I have them in the Dunfermline 1851 census and this shows that George Tod was born in Perth, possibly Muckart (writing a little difficult to decipher)
He is a weaver and lives at Beveridgewells his wife is from Kinross.
Children so far:
James, born 5 Feb 1816, Christened 10 Feb 1816 in Dunfermline
Mary, born 11 Aug 1817, Christened 17 Aug 1817 in Dunfermline
Margaret, born 27 Sep 1819 in Dunfermline
Ann, born 5 Jan 1836 in Dunfermline
James, born 18 Feb 1838 in Dunfermline
Janet bn 1833
CENSUS
1851 Dunfermline Census
28b page 12
Beveridgewell
George Tod head marr 60 weaver employing 2 girls born Perth, Muckart?
Margaret Tod wife marr 54 weaver's wife born Kinross, Orwell
William Tod son un/m 27 weaver's son born Fife, Dunfermline
Janet Tod dau un/m 21 weaver's dau born Fife, Dunfermline
Ann Tod dau 15 weaver's dau born Fife, Dunfermline
James Tod son 13 weaver's son born Fife, Dunfermline
______________
So if George was 60 in the 1851 Census he would have been born abt 1791 in Perth.
I also have I think a relation- a William Tod md Janet Adie with respective children, she is from Kinross, however I am not sure if William is from Dunfermline or Kinross or Perth.
This family has lead me on a merry dance with the son William changing his surname from Tod to Adie/Addie/Eadie (which we realize now is his mothres maiden surname-Why? we have no idea!!
I hope that we may find a connection.

Christine

I M 10 YEARS OLD IM JOSH TODS SON AND RODNEY TODS GRANDSON AND GORGE TODS GREAT GRANDSON
I LIVE IN HEMET CA.

Just found out that I have Tod's in my family history too.
Isobell Todd b Sept 1629 b St Andrews married James Russell in 1643
her parents were:
Alen Tod (b abt 1605 St Andrews)and Beatrix Beaton/Beatoun
Alen's father is estimated to be born abt 1581 in St Andrews

Isobell Todd and james Russell are my g g g g ...........parents.

According to umpteen family trees and other web sites her parents are Beatrix Beaton or Bethune and Alen Todd.......no trace in Scotlands People.

Also her parents are allegedly a James Beaton or Bethune and u/k with his parents being Archibald Beaton or Bethune. Again I can find no hard evidence for this.

Furthermore on several trees and sites it states that Archibald Beaton or Bethune was the Archdeacon of the Lothians and was the son of Cardinal David Beaton or Bethune.

This I know is wrong as the Cardinal son Alexander had that title furthermore the Cardinal had only 8 legitimised children Alexander, Margaret,
James, George, John, David, Agnes and Elizabeth. There was no Archibald.

Can anyone assist in this matter.
