According to the Watten OPR, John Georgeson / George was born on 11 Dec 1808 in Dublin.
George
I transcribed the Watten OPR some years ago and this was a post script in the registerQuote:

Does that postscript have an insertion date, or can a date be inferred?

The date in the OPR was 11 Dec 1808 which I would think was the date of baptism not the birth.Quote:

The second sentence of the OPR entry indicates that George G. is back in Watten. If we had an idea of this date it would provide a clue as to whether Eliza was born in Ireland.

I would say that the child was baptised in Ireland as it says that George wanted his son's name inserted in the register. I think if the child had been baptised in Watten there would have been the usual entry in the register. I have seen quite a few of the same instances in the Caithness OPRs where children have been baptised out with their parents' "native" parish but their names entered in the parish register. I am also wondering if Coik could be Cork.Quote:

Hi,
I am looking for a Georgeson relative. I have a John Georgeson who married an Ann George or Georgeson. He seems to disappear and then there is a report in a paper that he was charged with desertion of his family. Just wondered if you'd come across them.
Hello Angusina
I am related tp George George/Catherine Moffatt and they had a son John.
What is the time frame of your John?
Regards
Hi, I have John Georgeson married to Anne Georgeson or George on July 25th 1836. He appears on the 1841 census in Craigstown, Wick with wife Anne, son John aged 1 and daughter Jean. It says son John not born in the county but that John the father was. I found a newspaper report that says a John Georgeson was charged with abandoning his wife and 3 children in Wick. He was charged in Aberdeen but don't know if this is him. I am descended from his son William.
