I am looking at a record on Libindx that says: Father's Name: James McQueen Drummore Glenferness I see Glenferness House and Glenferness Mains, near Dulsie. But when I put Drummore in Streetmap.uk, the only Drummore I see in the Highlands are Drummore of Clava and Drummore of Cantray. They are over near the Nairn River. Why would a listing have these two locations like this? Holly East Bangor, PA, US

Hi Kaj, All I can add about 'local-to-Moray' ships named Neptune is this: "Neptune (sloop) built 1825 63 tons masters: J. Scott and Chalmers. Lost pre 26 November 1835 OS." (I don't know what OS means.) I wouldn't know whether the name Neptune would be carried from ship to ship - being the name it is, I should think it turns up all over the place so little inference could be gleaned from its appearance. I looked to see if I had anything relevant re the Innes name - nothing I'm afraid. Again, George Smith is not an uncommon name, so all I can do is note its occurrence. Maybe one day we'll discover that the enslaved George Smith managed to pay his way free, and is the East India Co man who provided of Fordyce Academy's "George Smith Bounty". Regards Howard

Thanks Ray, Your spell checker has a good sense of humour !! On a personal note, I think it a little on the 'silly' side that the MOD only copied one side of the cards - surely the whole idea is to copy the whole thing for safe keeping and ensuring the original remains in as good a condition as it was when copied. Has the world gone mad ? Leeds Council has just paid £7,500 for 21 foot of cycle road, when for years people have dismounted crossed the road and as they saying goes 'got on their bikes' again. Well, thats my five penneth !

This was interesting news. Perhaps no true connections, but Alexander Innes, born in Banff and living in Gothenburg (not Holland, but Sweden) also was part owner of two ships, both named Neptune or Neptunus. The other owners of the ships were Laurent Tarras, half brother to Alex Innes, also from Bannf, and during some times mr Charles Blaurock. It is well known that dutch city planners and scottish tradesmen where very well represented in Gothenburg during those days. Howard, we have earlier discussed the possibility of a George Smith being engaged in the Gothenburg based Swedish East India Company. Some time ago I found this note in the Maritime Museum of Goteborg. It is a letter adressed to J. Denison & Co in London dated 1814-08-19, regarding the insurance of two brigs Neptune, making a joint trip to Gibraltar. ".By this we pray You will insure against all and very risk £400 Stirling on ¼ of the shiff Neptune, Capitain John Hagberg and £450 Stirling on ¼ of her cargo consisting of iron, tar, pitch, timber, spares and deals, £800 Stirling on the ship Neptune, the 2nd, Capitain C.H. Röse and £1200 Stirling on her cargo consisting of tar, iron, timber, spares and deals, at and from Gothenburg to Gibraltar with liberty to touch Cadiz and discharge part or the whole of this cargo, at any port or ports in the Mediterranean including but not higher then Leghorn, with proportionate returns of any part on the whole is discharged .at Cadiz or Gibraltar, and on additional premium of the vessels keen to proceed as far as Nessles. According to the best information all is arranged with the barbary and our flag is no more exposed to the depritiations of theirs corsairs, we hope you will of course effectuate these insurance at moderate premium 6% on there and out. Both vessels are since yesterday quite ready for seal and kept as all ours. Ships with the very best order." In my conspiracies, I have searched the reasons for the Innes sons to leave Banff. All three male offspring of the family left Scotland, during what I believe was a very rough time (1760´s). Can this be a clue, although the two ships Neptune in my story actually is somewhat late? Regards, Kaj Andersson

Forwarded from another list but I feel is of importance to all family historians, please read and email the address below if you feel the need to save the records. Carol www.wakefieldfhs.org.uk Wakefield Family History Sharing Added by John Ferguson on 13/03/2005 08:20:52 As we go to press, it has come to my attention that in April the MOD intends to destroy some 6 million records of medals issued to WW1 personnel. I think you will agree that we cannot let them do so. Our military expert Paul Reed has been looking into the matter and it appears that the private facility used by the MOD to hold the records at Hayes wants to relocate and charge the MOD for moving the cards. The MOD's response is to get rid of the 140 filing cabinets that contain the 4-6 cards. The National Archives doesn't want to take on the cards because it has already microfiched them and the microfiche has been digitally scanned (see www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk). This isn't good enough. This is the only complete and untouched record of First World War soldiers left. Other service records were burned during WW2. Only the fronts of the cards have been scanned and we believe that written on the back of many of these cards is the address that the medals were sent to. Often, it isn't possible to determine whether the record of the medals issued relates to your ancestor or another person without checking this address. First, the cards need to be preserved. They then need to be scanned properly, front and back, and re-indexed. If the National Archives won't step in, perhaps someone else will. The Imperial War Museum? The Veteran's Association? The MOD claims its holds copyright on the cards and that it can do what it wishes with them. I'd argue that these cards are part of the nation's heritage. They are public records, and I'd remind the MOD that the descendants of WW1 soldiers pay their taxes. The cards remind us of the enormous sacrifice and loss incurred by men and women in this country during WW1, and of their bravery in adversity. They enable the children and grandchildren of those who died, and those who survived, to find out some of the lost details of their forebears. To save the cards we must take action. We're instituting a campaign to urge the Minister of Defence, Geoff Hoon, and the Director of the National Archives, Sarah Tyacke, to prevent the destruction of these records straight away. Address your letter to us and we'll pass it on to these authorities: Rt Hon Geoff Hoon & Sarah Tyacke Save the Medal Index Cards c/o Your Family Tree 30 Monmouth Street Bath BA1 2BW Alternatively, send an email headed 'Save the Medal Index Cards' to us at yfted Do it now - the records are due to be destroyed in April Garrick Webster, Editor, Your Family Tree' yfted@futurenet.co.uk

Thank you so much Anne, Gavin and Maureen re my query as to the position of Boharm Kirkyard and for the extra information and explanation re Dundurcas.

I have an announcement of a marriage from Mr. George WYNESS. He announces the marriage of his daughter Margaret PIRIE to Mr. Joseph J. RUCHGABER on Saturday, the twenty-seventh of April Nineteen hundred and forty-six Hollis, Long Island [USA] I know nothing about these people, but this was in my father's collection. He was born in Moray and his mother was a PIRIE. Would PIRIE be her middle name and she, too, is a WYNESS? Sylvia Russell Coast Pennsylvania, USA

In researching my Montgomery ancestry I found there are Montgomery's in Sweden who are descended from Scottish mercenary soldiers who were in the service of King Gustavus Adolphus.I know that Frederick the Great of Prussia used to recruit soldiers in Moray. There were also Scottish merchants in Danzig and in the Dutch ports. The union with England of course put an end to such European connections and the Scots found an outlet for their ambitions in the expanding British Empire. Harry Montgomery.

Hi Sybil, It may not be so far-fetched as it might seem at first sight. Whilst I haven't got any references to local "pirates" as such, I have several references to local "privateers". To paraphrase the dictionary, privateers are government-sponsored pirates. Yet, as far as I can see, the people described as privateers below are pirates in my book. Smuggling was also part of their menu of activities. I have acquired some excerpts from various sources; here's a few extracts: From Aberdeen Journal, Monday, February 5th. 1781 - PRIVATEERING - The spirit of privateering is very brisk on this coast. We are advised of two stout Privateers fitting out at Portsoy harbour and others at Perth, Dundee etc. From Aberdeen Journal, Monday, March 5th 1781: - PRIVATEERING - On the 23rd ult. sailed from Portsoy, on a cruize, the "Neptune" of that port, Captain James Elder, Master. From a manuscript of 1843, by Dr George Greig, Portsoy: - [This is the best reference I have, apart from newspapers. I don't have much more, I certainly don't have the full manuscript and because I was given only these extracts, I'm afraid I don't know where you might find a copy. If you find out, do let me know - it might be a 'good read'!] SMUGGLING IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ....We find that during the greater part of the last century every merchant in the town and of various places in the neighbourhood became engaged in smuggling..... ....The next merchants of consequence were the Messrs. Robertson who were also deeply engaged in smuggling. [I've mentioned these chaps before on the Moray and/or the Banffshire List!] They were the owners of several vessels and at their own expense fitted out a privateer, the "Neptune" of eight guns to emise against the French and Spaniards. This vessel was commanded by Captain Elder and took several prizes although she turned out a losing speculation to her owners. [Obviously, the goody/baddy situation got blurred at times, because: From Aberdeen Journal, Monday, 14 June 1779: - PORTSOY VESSEL TAKEN BY AMERICAN PRIVATEER - On the 23rd of May the "Neptune" of Portsoy, James Scott, master, on her voyage from the West Highlands to Portsoy was brought to, and taken by the "Independence" of Boston, an armed sloop about 75 tons burden, with 4 carriage guns, 4 swivels, and 12 men. Captain Scott and one of his hands were brought on board the "Independence", and two of the Americans were put on board the "Neptune", with orders to follow their captor. About two miles from the eastermost part of the Isle of Skye the "Neptune" fell astern (two men of her own crew, who were left on board, having resumed the command) and though fired at, got off and is arrived at Portsoy. The two American sailors are lodged in Banff jail. Captain Scott afterwards prevailed on Captain Brown to set him ashore on the mainland of Scotland. The prisoners report that they sailed from Fredricksburgh in Virginia on the 26th. April in company with seven other sloops and two schooners, all loaded with tobacco, and bound for Gottenburgh in Holland. They imagine four of them were taken the next morning as they saw them steering for land, under the stern of a large vessel, supposed to be a British frigate. The above American ship was seen in the Murray Firth a few days ago ; and as it is thought that the rest of the consorts came also north it is hoped that some of our cruisers will fall in with them before they reach their destination. I've got a reference to others of this ilk being taken as slaves (in Algiers), including one George Smith of Portsoy. What times! Regards Howard Geddes

You will find a brief account of that history at: www.abdn.net/genuki/BAN/Boharm/index.html#HistGeog In particular, you may care to note that, for reasons explained in that article, some burials of Boharm residents will be found in the kirkyard of Dundurcas.

Thank you for your offer, Peter.... I am only TOO HAPPY to accept! The Isobel TAYLOR baptised Boharm 5 Aug 1849 is the daughter of the Isabella TAYLOR of my initial inquiry.

If so I have some data on her family I am happy to share. SKS sent the info to me because I thought at the time I was related to that family but I am not.
