Aberdeen List, I am trying to find the birth of John SMITH, b. 1831 or 32 Monquhitter Aberdeenshire. The information I had was not correct. I have recently found on Scotland's People the death record for John. In the record it states that he is married to Ann Massie (illegitimate). He died on October 23, 1898 at 5:30 am. at Haddoleys Troup Gamrie. John was about 67 years old and he was the son of John SMITH (deceased) Reputed father. His mother is listed as Margret McKnight afterward wife of John Cartney Crofter (Deceased) The person giving the information is James Grant who was a worker on the farm (present) The age at death leads me to believe that he would have been born in 1831 or 32. His place of birth in the census records is always listed as Monquhitter. Can anyone tell me what and where Haddoleys Troup is. Also any suggestions on finding a birth record would be appreciated. I have tried searching the IGI and Scotland's People using John SMITH and Margret McKnight as the parents with no luck. Regards, Jo-Anne Smith-Huber ANESFHS # 16407
