Does anybody know anything about any of these individuals? Alexander Ross from Nigg in Rosshire who married Margaret Bremner in that county in 1814. The three children I know of all lived in Morayshire as adults, but were all born in Nigg, Rosshire. Their children are: John Ross b. 1816 who married Elizabeth Rose McKillican Margaret Ross b. abt. 1825 who married William Ferrier and lived in Locpots, Milstonduff, Parish of Elgin. Their children were: Mary, Isabella, William, Jane, and Mary Isabella Ross b. abt 1821 in Nigg, Rosshire; married Hector Anderson and had a child Ann Anderson b. in 1860 in Forres, Morayshire.

I would like to hear from anyone that knows anything about the following family living in Morayshire, Scotland. Father: John Ross, b 1816 in Rosshire, Nigg; died 1891 at Rafford Mother: Elizabeth Rose McKillican, b. 1815 in Croy, Nairnshire; died 1907 at Rafford Children: 1. Margaret Ross b. 1840, Kinloss, Morayshire 2. Helen Ross b. 1842, Kinloss, Morayshire; died 1890 at Rafford 3. Elizabeth Rose b. 1844 in Forres, Morayshire 4. Jane Ross b. 1845 in Forres, Morayshire died 1890 in Forres, buried at Rafford 5. Alexander Ross b. 1849 in Rafford 6. Mary Ann Paul Ross b. 1852 in Rafford, Married David Murray Morton 7. Agnes McIntosh Ross b. 1856, Hill of Burgie, died 1939 in Nairn, Scotland (my wife's grandmother, her son, Alexander John McLeod, was born in 1879 in Rafford... no marriage to John McLeod [on Alexander's birth certificate] and both mother and so lived with John and Elizabeth Ross at their home in Rafford) 8. Hughina Ross b 1859 Hill of Burgie,Morayshire; d. 1947 in Dundee married John Gardiner

In a message dated 28/01/2008 2:25:38 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes: She could have been previously or subsequently married to a Geddes ( her Death Certificate should give any previous marriage partner.) This would depend on the knowledge of the person registering the death. It is not uncommon for the informant, even a family member, to be ignorant of all the relevant details. I have several instances of a son/daughter registering a parent's death and being unaware of their grandmother's full maiden name or that there had been a previous marriage. Or she may have been adopted.Her Birth Certificate may help there. Unless the original Birth Certificate is available this is unlikely. I had the fortunate position to be in knowledge of a child's mother and the fact that she was adopted along with an adopted surname. When following this up all I got was a copy of the adoption at the local court showing the adoptive father and the new surname. No mention was made of the birth name. However, as the mother's surname was known I was able to trace the original birth registration and name. That entry was annotated later to show an adoption had taken place. The sad thing is that the child grew up and eventually died not knowing she had a sibling as her mother had another illegitimate child but whether or not this was to the same father neither I nor anyone else in the family know. However, I was instrumental in bringing together the offspring of the two siblings after taking careful steps to ensure they were happy for this to happen. Or she could have been born illegitimate. The Birth Cert again of help.Illegit children were usually named after their Father ie would take the father's surname rather than the Mothers. Only if the father accepted he was the child's parent. There are numerous instances where the child is registered as illegitimate with the mother's surname as the father is unwilling to accept the situation. If he did the certificate will be signed by both the mother and the father as informants. However, there can be a clue as to the father's surname if a middle name is given as often the mother would use the father's surname as a middle name for the child. Alternatively, there may be a record of the mother having raised a paternity suit in the courts and if the court found in her favour this would be recorded in the Register of Corrected Entries and the child's name would be amended via the RCE but not in the original entry. If a paternity suit was raised and the father was of some standing in his community it is more than likely the local press would carry the story and this can be quite revealing particularly if a substantial inheritance might be involved.

Yes I thought it was the right BIO! That's what confused me. What source gives Mary Ann the surname Geddes? If correct then there are a number of possibles ie She could have been previously or subsequently married to a Geddes ( her Death Certificate should give any previous marriage partner.) Or she may have been adopted.Her Birth Certificate may help there. Or she could have been born illegitimate .The Birth Cert again of help.Illegit children were usually named after their Father ie would take the father's surname rather than the Mothers.

I am wondering if anyone has any reference to a KERR family who is said to have worked at Gordon Castle - possibly mid -1800's. It is said John KERR b Aberdeen 1813,was the Estate Manager but we are not sure at all if this is correct, as he was a mariner from 1851 at least. The family connection to Gordon Castle may come from the BARRON side of the family. I have found another distant cousin who has a very similar story. She says an ancestor stayed with an aunt there and that she remembered the seagulls squawking and the place being quite remote. The owners of the Castle were away at the time..... Finding the facts is very difficul!!

Fay I was interested to read of your interest in Gordon Castle. An uncle of mine , John Urquhart , worked on Gordon Castle Farm. I think he married a girl ( possibly a Dairy Maid ) in the employ of Gordon Castle . I do not know the years of employment , but I'm guessing it was the 1930's . Perhaps his boss was 'your' Robert Dawson I used to correspond with a woman in Australia whose relative worked at Gordon Castle , in the 19th century. She was a contributor to the Rootsweb Mailing Lists a few years back. Her name is Ruth.Sh has since 'gone to ground' or maybe changed her e-mail address Cheers Ray Urquhart New Zealand Fay Moran <[email protected]> wrote: Maggie, A relation of mine maryann simpson married William Dawson who was agriculturist and farm manager of Gordon Castle Home farm for 30 years he retired in1911 and died in 1913 His son Robert suceeded his father.

Libindx gives her death as Jan 1928. and names William as her spouse. William's obituary names Robert his son replaced him as manager. Does this help?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: mcbainbuff725 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.mor.general/2318.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am trying to find a McLeod - Christina Mcleod, born to a farmer John McLeod and Christina McLeod, about 1801. All I have is Christina married a McDonald, and then married a William McBain, had a boy John McBain in 1925 in forfarshire, then a girl, Elizabeth Mcbain, 1830 in Arbroath. Christina McLeod died 1874 in Aberdeen. I only mention this because you have a Mcleod in your background, and Kincardine is next-door to Aberdeenshire, which is also nexy door to Angus County. Good luck in your search - if anything comes up that I find re Tullochs I will let you know. cam Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am hoping to find others that have information on James McLeod born in the parish of Drainie and his wife Margaret Strachan born in the parish of Urquhart both in Morayshire, Scotland. The children that I have were George, Helen b. 1807 Quarrypool, Drianie parish, James b. 1809 Hopeman, Duffes, & David b. 1811 Hopeman, Duffes, Scotland. James Beyette [email protected] 204-268-4109
