Thank you so much for this Maureen. I had looked at LIBINDX earlier and found nothing.... now I think I must've been looking under MITCHELL and perhaps not TAYLOR. I am using Firefox, thus thought that was my problem, even though I believed I had that part of it under control! However, I have just typed in the reference no and came up with your wonderful results. It is so WONDERFUL to know that there is a Newspaper reference also. Thanks again!

My great-grandfather William Elliott Gillean told his grandson Roscoe Gillean that our ancestors were pirates before they came to America. Does anyone on this list know of any Moray History books or other books that deal with Moray pirates? Thanks for any help.

I am exploring the TORRIE family in Rafford in the 19th Century. Variations of the family name are TORRY and TORY. I have used the Moray Heritage LIBINDX, the ScotlandsPeople and the IGI sites and have a number of records related to individuals between the 1780's and 1830's. I feel that these have given me all I'm likely to get from them. Jane Torrie, born c.1819 in Rafford married Alexander Paterson in 1840 but I have been told that the 1851 census shows her living at Woodside in Altyre, looking after a child of 5 months called Jessie Torrie. This, together with other TORRIE births in the 1820's and 1830's and another wedding in 1846 leads me to think that there are several Torrie families in Rafford from which my Jane Torrie has come. I do not have access to the early census returns and so I'm wondering if anyone who can get at them might be able to do a lookup for me in any of those available. Any linkages would be extremely helpful. If anyone else is investigating TORRIE/TORRY/TORY I would be very pleased to share what I have. Many thanks Alan Conchie

He still has two surviving brothers and a sister in Ohio and Indiana area. One was a Sherif in his County. But I have never worked on that family tree.
