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

Can I help you out here?

Thanks for the offer of help Goldie. It is a long shot but my great grandmother Mary Ann Gow b 1849 Longside/Mintlaw is the daughter of Jane Scott and Charles Gow. The parents did not marry and Charles Gow is shown on the OPR as a farmer of Peterhead. Mary Ann grew up in Peterhead with her Scott grandparents. I have information on the Scott family and the Allan family she married into but nothing on Charles Gow. I cant confirm or deny any facts I find because I have no other information. Janet
