I'd like to contact anyone researching PIRIE in Rhynie and/or anyone with information on the following family. William PIRIE married Isobel GRANT on 02 June 1818 in Rhynie. Children of this couple are Jean 20 Sep 1818; Isobel 13 Aug 1820; Anne 15 Feb 1823; Helen 03 Feb 1824 and William Allardyce 16 Nov 1826. Isobel GRANT re-married in Aug 1829 so William must have died between 1826 and 1829. Thanks, Jen. 10230

Hi Goldie I have found the Peterhead site always fairly quiet. Am surprised at how quiet the Aberdeen one has been lately. Hope you found what you were looking for on the film. I found the one I had almost impossible to read with the poor quality readers at our local LDS. Had waited 5 months to get it so was very brassed off. Janet

Hi Goldie I can't access it either. I notice that the Peterhead group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peterhead/ in the Yahoo groups has it as a related link (right down towards the bottom of page in link), perhaps someone in the group might know Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "goldie and Lido Doratti" <lidogold2@shaw.ca> To: <ABERDEEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 1:35 PM Subject: [ABERDEEN] PETERHEAD > Nothing coming thru much these past few days here, are you all still alive > out there? > I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened to the Peterhead Genealogy > site......I tried to get on a few days past and got sent to another site > which then told me it wasn't functioning anymore.

Hi Jim, With regards to the Moray connections of my Mathesons/Mathiesons - George Matheson had a son by Isabel Swanson in Huntley - Born 1813 and named George. I believe that George was a Currier and possibly from Elgin. I have also found George and Isabel's marriage in Elgin in Dec. 1820. It seems like a long difference in time, so something tells me that there must have been an intervention there. I have not been able to find any other children or references to George Matheson and Isabel Swanson. The son, George, was married to Margaret Smith in New Spynie in 1836. Margaret was a daughter of James Smith, Glover and Miller at Bridge End on the current walking bridge between the library in Elgin and Bishop's Mills. Since George was a Flesher and Skinner, I would assume that he may have been apprenticed to James Smith or would certainly have known him through the leather trade. There children Ann Margaret, James, George, William, and Robert (My G Grandfather) were born in Bishops Mills and their children John, Margaret, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Alexander were born in Aberdeen. It seems that their migration to Aberdeen might have come about the time that James Smith retired from the Glover trade. With respect to the spelling of names - I have Matheson for the first George Matheson and Mathieson for his son and family. Interestingly, my g grandfather reverted to Matheson at least when he went into business. He had at least 3 butcher shops in Aberdeen in the latter 19th century and the early years of the 20th century. My sister insists that whiskey and gambling and his death were the reasons for the business failures that followed. We may find a connection somewhere in the Moray Matheson/Mathieson clan. I expect that I am looking for a George Matheson as father to George Matheson. Probably somewhere in the second half of the 1700's with children being born in the 1785 to 1800 time era.

I don't know if I can help, but I can add this info to the Mathieson tribe.......I have a Mary Jean Mathieson supposedly born in Peterhead abt 1816 (no record) with parents George Mathison, flesher, and Christina Cramond, on her death record, information given by Christina Mathison, her mother. Her husband is given as Robt Walker, Mariner, and the 5 children are listed. (Mathison/Mathieson and other spellings.) Mary Jean married Robert Walker, seaman, in 1840 also Peterhead and had 5 children with Robert; Robt 1840, George Mathison 1842, Christina Crawford 1844 (no idea where the Crawford came from), Mary Jane 1846, and Alexander 1848. I suspect Robert was lost at sea being a whaler, and his wife Mary Jane died 28 Apr 1855 in Peterhead. I am doing the Peterhead films now #0993353, and 0993354. On there I found some other Mathieson/Mathisons. Christopher, spouse is Jane Hutchison and Neil, spouse is Isabella Grant. On a birth of Christopher's son George Stephen, b 12 Feb 1849 witnesses are James Hutchison and Alexander Mathieson. I couldn't find them on the 1851 census in Peterhead, so I can't add much more. (that was on the freecen@rootsweb). I would think Alexander is a brother to Christopher and Mary Jane, Neil may also be a brother, but no evidence so far.

Is there any one searching the CAMPBLE or CAMPBELL family in Kincardine? James CAMPBLE is the putative father named on the birth record of Isabel Campble on the 26th May 1798 at Glenbervie per IGI (I have Certificate) The Certificate names her mother as Ann BLACKLAWS or it could be BLACKLOWS. Does anyone have James CAMPBLE or CAMPBELL in their records. Ann BLACKLAWS appears to have married on 29 December 1799 Glenbervie to William GIBSON. This record may or may not relate but its worth a thought perhaps. Janet

Hi Don, I have Ann Duncan in my tree. Firstly, John Duncan 1805-1877 -m circa 1825 to Ann Smith 1805-1865. They had a daughter Ann Duncan 1847-1903, one of their sons William Smith Duncan, schoolmaster at Oldmeldrum, also had a dtr names Ann Smith Duncan. My Duncans got back to William Duncan of tie -m- Janet Christie of Tarves (no dates) parents of John 1805-1877. Any connection? My Duncans came from around Ellon, Tarves and Oldmeldrum.

Otherwise are you sure it is the same Ann DUNCAN? Sometime around 1813 in New Deer, Alexander SHIRRAN & Ann DUNCAN had a daughter, Barbara. Around 1817, also in New Deer, they had a second daughter - Sophia. Although Sophia's mother is given as "Barbara DUNCAN" on the death certificate I think this was a mistake by their very much younger step brother. There are no other records of this Ann DUNCAN but Alexander SHIRRAN [1787-1858] definitely married Isobel ROSS in Tyrie in 1820 [OPR] and had two further recorded marriages to Ann CADGER [1835 and Elspet CLARK [1848]. Alexander & Ann CADGER are Sheena's g-g-grandparents. Our Ann DUNCAN [not an unusual name!!] having a child in 1813 would mean her birth was prior to 1795-ish and a child in 1854 would be very unlikely. So there are probably at least two Ann DUNCANs and possibly three. Maybe it was something to do with the name!! We'd be very pleased to hear if you find out anything else, Don. -- Best wishes Ray *************************************************************** >From Ray Hennessy Forenames website: www.whatsinaname.net Preferred Email address: ray@whatsinaname.net Hints for Scotland's People at http://bit.ly/WIAN-SCP ***************************************************************

From the "Burial Grounds" website at: http://www.abdnet.co.uk/burialgrounds/ you will see that there are two other burial grounds in the parish, the Episcopal kirkyard and the Cemetery. I know of no MI transcriptions for either, and I suspect that the start dates for the burial records may be too late to encompass the elder Ann. However, I note that there are, unusually, "OPR Deaths" for Ellon (ie the parish kirkyard) from 1638-1854. Gavin Bell
