Goldie - if you're focused on the WALKER family, perhaps you can help with a connection to my BODIE line. The following family is somewhat speculative, having been derived from OPR entries that only MAYBE are properly connected together. Alexander WALKER m. Elisabeth HUNTER (1773-1853) 1. Mary (1801- ) m. 1826 in Chapel of Garioch to William SIVEWRIGHT (1792-1871) 2. Margaret (1802- ) m. 1829 in Chapel of Garioch to John WATT ( - ) 3. Alexander (1804- ) 4. Agnes (1805-1893) m. 1830 in Chapel of Garioch to Charles BODIE (1813-1874) 5. Robert (1810-1891) m. 1839 in Chapel of Garioch to Mary REID (1808-1895) 6. John (1812-1854) Agnes, and husband Charles, are my 3rd great grandparents. I'm pretty sure about that couple but not so confident about the rest of this "family". In 1841 Agnes & Charles lived in Inverurie and in 1881 they lived in Marnoch (Banffshire). Are they people you know something about? Regards - Glen C.

I did find quite a few good stories, and I enjoyed the books immensely. I did a purge yesterday and lost the name of the family you are looking for. I took some notes but of course focused on the Walker family. <SNIP> Goldie
