Veronica Caldow's Timeline

1816
June 16, 1816
Gasswater, Ayrshire, Scotland (United Kingdom)

100's of Pedigree resource file (well maybe 30)
Not all have her 2 spouses listed
If we narrow it down to husband george father james mother mary we still get 13
plus some ancestral files etc - so i'm fairly sure this one is spot on

*1851 census confirms - gives birthplace as Auchuinleck, Ayrshire



1839
July 28, 1839
Gaswater, Muirkirk, Ayrshire, Scotland (United Kingdom)

LDS IGI Record (no sources) Birth: 28 JUL 1839 Muirkirk, Ayr, Scotland
LDS IGI Record - Batch No.: C116074 Also Film Numbers 184248 183596 refers to Veronica Murdoch (mother) spelt as Murdock and birth as about 1840

LDS Ancestral File - Mary CALDOW (AFN: KJLB-6X)
Birth: 1839 Gaswater, Ayr, Scotland
Christening: 11 Aug 1839 Auchinleck, Ayr, Scotland
Father: George CALDAU (AFN: 914W-SM)
Mother: Veronica MURDOCH (AFN: 914R-JP)

Mary can also be found in World Connect - Shirley Giles 1030248 database, but there is little other information for downstream

1841
June 17, 1841
Commondyke, Muirkirk, Ayrshire, Scotland (United Kingdom)

Source: Daughter (Marian) birth certificate:

Daughter (Marian) birth certificate in 1879 gives Georges age as 39 (=1840) at that stage (march 1879) assuming 1841 is correct he would have been 38.75 - nearly 39 - his birh place on that certificate is Muirkirk

LDS ancestoral file AFN: KJLB-74 has this as "abt 1842" Commondyke, Ayr, Scotland.
IGI File has 4 births, 3 are as per the Ancestoral file, 1 is 1841 Muirkirk,Ayr, Scotland
According to the map there's only 3.7 miles between commondyke and muirkirk
The Muirkirk file has an actual date in it - the others are "about 1842"

George's death records [cemetery book - waikaraka park] gives his age as 60 when he died in 1900 = 1840 - but then - Waikaraka Park headstone gives 2 different ages given [60 & 61] Either way - this puts his dob at 1839-1840 +/-1
So say 1838-1841

Based on the above facts i believe 1841 is a fair assumption.

1844
January 7, 1844
