Have a look at http://www.sfw.org.uk/books/summerland.html. There is an item there about William Morrison (1838-1902) who was born in Grange on 10 September 1838 and went to Jamaica. The IGI lists William, baptised 14 September 1838, among the nine children of John Morrison and Ann McIntyre, so it looks as if this is your man. Then have a look at http://scotskirk.anngel.com.jm/ministers.htm where you will see mentioned a second William Morrison, son of the first one, who was knighted. HTH Anne

Hi there Tim, You recently placed a list of names of interest to you including "...Lovie, Levenie, Leveny, Watson..." Knowing how common these names are, we may have a distant connection. Using my gg grandfather as a starting point, William Lovie b1821 and d1902 in Boyndie had a sister Margaret b1831. She m Alexander Levenie 1854 in Whitehills. They had Janet b1855 and Alexander b1859. Son Alexander would m Jane Pirie. Again using William Lovie, his parents were Mary Priest b1793 in Fordyce and John Lovie b 1791 in Boyndie. John's parents were Margaret Lovie b1767 in Boyndie and James Lovie b1791 also in Boyndie. Margaret's mother was Jannet Watson who m James Lovie of the Banff parrish. HTH Cyndie

Hi Kay, I'm sorry but I don't have an Adamson/Addison tree readily available. However I can send you off-list what I have got, if you have Lotus Wordpro installed. I don't have anything earlier on the Adamson/Addison lines - but I do know the Boyndie OPR in the IGI has fair coverage of both the Adamson and Addison families. There are loads of MIs involving Adamson, so there's plenty of fun to be had (not by me!) building families. The only thing I can add is that there just two other Boyndie MI (that I know of) mentioning Addison: "This stone is erected by John ADDESON, in Whitehills, in memory of his mother Elspet ROBERTSON, who died Nov.1st 1766 aged 64 years." "This stone is erected by Patrick SCAKEL and Janet AEDISON, hs spouse, at Scottsmill, for themselves and children viz: Patrick SCAKEL, some time at Mill of Bredock, who died July 24th, 1729; John, Ann, James, Jannet, John, Alexr., Margaret; Alexander their grandson."

Surnames: REID ANDREW Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ReC.2ACI/2537.1 Message Board Post: Hullo Jean, your REIDs lead back to Deskford, and my REIDs are firmly Deskford based too. So I've tried to find whether the two strands came together - so far, they don't. But here's my findings: This is your Alexander REID in 1881: Dwelling: Milkburn, Grange (156-6-6) Alex REID M 41 M Deskford Head Farmer (40 Ac 12 Ac Arable) Isabella REID M 29 F Grange Wife Farmers Wife Anne REID 15 F Grange Daur Farmers Daur John REID 13 M Grange Son Farmers Son William REID 12 M Grange Son Catherine REID 6 F Grange Daur Alex REID 3 M Grange Son James REID 1 M Grange Son William STUART M 60 M Visitor Shepherd Robert STUART M 41 M Visitor Mason Your Alexander Reid married twice: 1.

ISBELLA LITTLEJOHN marriage: 05 JUL 1873 Grange dau ISABELLA REID 15 FEB 1873 Grange Your Alexander Reid was born/bapt, either:- 1. -- 08 SEP 1838 Deskford Father: ALEXANDER REID Mother: BETTY STEINSON 2. 01 JUN 1839 15 JUN 1839 Deskford Father: WILLIAM REID Mother: ANN BAGRIE 3. 06 JUL 1839 16 JUL 1839 Deskford Father: WILLIAM REID Mother: JANET MORRISON 4. 20 SEP 1839 05 OCT 1839 Deskford Father: ALEXR. REID Mother: CHARLOTTE CASSIE Probably no.2. His 1873 marriage certificate will give you his parents. I have seen the family of no.4 knocking around the place, so I don't think it's them. Your Margaret Sutherland was born/bapt, either:- 1. 21 MAR 1840 23 APR 1840 Fordyce Father: WILLIAM SUTHERLAND Mother: FRANCES DUNCAN 2. 30 MAR 1839 -/-/1839 Fordyce Father: WILLIAM SUTHERLAND Mother: JESSIE WOOD Probably no.2. Since she died 1871 or so, you should be able to get her death certificate and find her parents. I have this family in 1851 at Berryhillock Deskford William Reid 46 b. Deskford Head Mar House carpenter (master) Ann Reid 42 b. Deskford Wife Mar House carpenter's wife Alexander Reid 11 b. Deskford son Scholar John Reid 5 b. Deskford son Scholar Alexander Reid 11 b. Deskford grandson Scholar Turns out to be William Reid and Ann Bagrie (no.2 above), who married 22 JUN 1833 Deskford, their children being: WILLIAM REID Christening: 13 OCT 1833 Deskford ANN REID Christening: 22 AUG 1835 Deskford ALEXANDER REID Christening: 15 JUN 1839 Deskford JOHN REID Christening: 14 JUN 1845 Deskford The 11 year old being a grandson is problematical, but if he really is 11 he could be your Alexander Reid. William Reid is probably born/bapt 09 AUG 1804 10 AUG 1804 Deskford Father: ALEXR. REID Mother: HELEN PALMER who married: (as Alexander Reed) 24 JUN 1798 Deskford and (as Alexander Reid) 30 JUN 1798 Cullen. Their children: JAMES REID 17 MAR 1799 Deskford ISOBEL REID 14 SEP 1811 Deskford, Banff, Scotland MARY REID 10 AUG 1806 Deskford, Banff, Scotland HELLEN REID 10 AUG 1806 Deskford, Banff, Scotland GEORGE REID 23 OCT 1814 Deskford, Banff, Scotland JOHN REID 05 NOV 1800 Deskford, Banff, Scotland WILLIAM REID 10 AUG 1804 Deskford, Banff, Scotland ANN REID 03 NOV 1802 Deskford, Banff, Scotland JOSEPH REID 17 JUN 1813 Deskford, Banff, Scotland A rough guide to the parents' birth date: 1798-25(a reasonable age when married)=1773 and 1814-40(age when gave birth to last child)=1774 And we have ALEXANDER REID Christening: 1775 Deskford Father: WILLIAM REID Mother: ANNE CURRIE and ALEXANDER REID Christening: 29 AUG 1776 Deskford Father: WILLIAM REID Mother: ANNE CURRIE. Make of that what you will. And also HELEN PALMER Christening: 16 NOV 1773 Keith Father: JAMES PALMER Mother: MARY BREMNER. All this from the IGI, all 'only fitting candidates', all requiring confirmation. The main point for me is that all this doesn't lead back to my James Reid who married Elizabeth Grant 1757. Their son, my 4xg-gdfather married Janet Clark whose parents were James Clark and Elspet ANDREW, who moved from Mains of Buckie into Deskford. So I was also interested in the Andrew line. Mine come from Cullen originally, but yours seem to come from Banff: 1881 Dwelling: Ramsburn, Rothiemay (165-4-13) William ANDREW M 46[50?] M Banff, Banff Head General Labourer Isabella ANDREW M 47[44?] F Rothiemay Wife Gen Labs Wife Elizabeth ANDREW U 13 F Rothiemay Daur Scholar b 30 JAN 1868 Jessie ANDREW 10 F Rothiemay Daur Scholar Robert ANDREW 9 M Rothiemay Son Scholar John ANDREW 7 M Rothiemay Son Scholar Jane ANDREW 5 F Rothiemay Daur Scholar Charles ANDREW 2 M Rothiemay Son Annie WILSON (ANDREW) U 26 F Rothiemay Step Daur General Servant (Domestic) Unemployed Isabella R.

Do let me know if your Reid research in particular makes potential Deskford connections with mine. Regards Howard Geddes
