Gordon Many thanks for the gravestone details. Thomas

So it is not in Lonmay? I show a Park in Lonmay for another part of the family line. I also did show Drumoak for other Penny folks. Thanks, Betty!

Now I'm confused - too many Parks - which one is it - there is one at Cornhill, north of Huntly, I assumed it was that one if the Gordons had a connection. There is another on Deeside. I don't know of one at Lonmay but - wait - something is coming to me! Checked multimap. That's right I used to do work for a guy at Park there - I don't know if it was ever an estate in its own right though.

Hi Goldie, Try this link for "Geograph" - http://www.geograph.org.uk/ Select "Aberdeenshire", then "Lonmay" and you will find "Mains of Park" - don't know whether this is the right one, but have a look at the site anyway - very good!

Will this help anyone? I am looking for the parents of Isobel Shireffs (various spellings there) who was born about 1772 in Lonmay. On the Hugh Wallis site, there are many there about that time. But no Isabel. She married John Walker in 1794 in Peterhead. On the 1845 Statistical Account it refers to "Estate of Park" and a John Lumsden Sheriffs, Esq., of Blairmormond, and that the estate belonged to the Frasers. I did find a Thos Sheriffs married to a Fraser, no first name in Lonmay in the 1770 time frame, but no Isobel. Then I got to thinking just maybe I could find something else out IF I had any info on the Estate of Park. This one is in or near Lonmay ABD.

Would any listers have any idea where I could find some info on the Estate of Park, and John Lumsden SHERIFFS, Esq of Blairmormond -- Lonmay I believe, but could be wrong. It is mentioned on the 1845 Statistical Account and apparently belonged to the Frasers. I have a John WALKER who married Isabel 'Shirres'.. and various other spellings.....16 Jan 1794. He was a Mason in Peterhead. Her death record in 1850 has her spelled SHIREFFS They had 8 children all born Peterhead most of whom look like they were whalers or fishermen. The children are born 1795 - 1815 all Peterhead. The names out of marriages of these 8 children are: Morrison, Mathieson/Mathison, Scott, Burnettt/Burnet, Arthur. circa 1825 forward. Any help is welcome, and thanks, Goldie

My research interest is James Lindsay 1853-1933 a tailor who married Margaret Adams Ross 1853-1904. I have found the family in the censuses and bmd records. Where else can I look for more about them and to try and trace their descendants? Margaret Adams Ross's grandfather was Alexander Ritchie 1811-1891 a shoemaker in Peterculter. Thomas

I had no first hand information earlier.

Hi Brenda, Yes! This is the same family! I have Maria ? (obviously your Maria J. Horne) married to William Grant b. about 1860 of Stodfold. They had four children that I know of - William Francis Grant b. about 1886 James Horne Grant b. about 1888 Maria Ann Grant b. about 1895 John Horne Grant b. about 1899 James Horne Grant married Christina Forbes b. about 1888 at Gartly. Their son (still living) is my son-in-law's father. Here are the census records which I have found - 1891 Census: Aged 30, Head of household, living at "Faich Hill Farmhouse", Gartly, with wife Maria J. Grant aged 32, son William F. Grant aged 5, son James H Grant aged 3, Helen Rhind aged 27, Mary McDonald aged 43, John Mathieson aged 34, Charles Simpson aged 17 and James Cumming aged 16. 1901 Census: Aged 41, Head of household, living at "Faichhill Farm", Gartly with wife Maria J Grant aged 42, son William F Grant aged 15, son James H Grant aged 13, daughter Maria A Grant aged 6,. son John H Grant aged 2, Mary A Gregson aged 20, Jane Cruickshank aged 15, Alexander mcLean aged 24, James Stuart aged 18 and Charled Riddel aged 19.

Hi Jen, Thanks so much for the info, and yes, I would like a copy. I have been totally confused by this as Francis stated in all the census records that he was born at Gartly, but I could not find a baptism for him there. Auchindoir makes complete sense, as I know the family moved from there to Gartly and later on to Kennethmont. I will now be able to order up the film for Auchindoir, and will probably find what I am looking for there. What is your connection to this family? I am interested in that you appear to live in Australia (as we do) and I am doing this research for my son-in-law who also now lives here. I have all the census records, and if you would like to have copies of them, let me know.
