Many thanks to all of those who responded to my enquiry and I will certainly consider all answers in particular either "yes it is possible for the same child to have been baptised twice" or " it is possible that child one died and child two was given the same name" As someone suggested it really doesnt matter anyway as it is the parents of the child I am looking for and both thse baptisms had the same named father. What a helpful lot you are again many thanks. Anne Ambrose

I was going to say the same thing. I thought for some time that I had a confusion in the exact birthdate for one of my grandfathers, born in 1871 in Stuartfield ABD -- was it January or December? When someone sent me a MI inscription, I realized my great-grandparents had had a son in January 1871 whom they named Peter after his father. That baby died in November and when another boy was born a few weeks later, they used the same name again. He was actually the third Peter in the family, and they also used the name James three times before they got one who survived early childhood. (They had 16 children altogether, six of whom died young.)

I would suggest that the first son died.. and the same name was given to the next son.. this was very common.. although quite a close call.. Aloha, Colette

Could some kind person answer a question Is it possible for a child to have been baptised twice. Once when his parents were unmarried and again after they married. I have a possible link with 2 children and they are baptised 9 months apart and one is down as natural son the other as lawfull son and both children have the name of William as their father and the same named persons as witness to their baptisms. My question therefore is would any children in the early 1700s be baptised twice or would this never happen???? and these are 2 entirely differnt children and the rest is just coincidental Anne Ambrose

Roderick's address was given as Old Toll House Durn Portsoy and his parents as John Watson and Margaret Watson ms Ross. I have the 1881 census with them living in Durn Road Portsoy. He was registered as a forrester lab. Adam Ingram who was a blacksmith in Roseacre Street Fordyce (on the 1871 and at no 3 in the 1881 census) was the son of James Ingram and Margaret Raffan an uncle of Annie Ingram my great grandmother.

Many thanks to all who emailed me on and off list re. my Mortlach MI query. My particular interests (at the moment) are DUNCAN and SHAND in Mortlach and the Cabrach; in particular the descendants of John DUNCAN (1767-1855) and Isabel MOIR, including the following: - John DUNCAN and Mary FORBES (descendants include SYMON and MACPHERSON of Pittyvaich and Priestswell, Dufftown, also RAMSEY of Boghead) - Hugh DUNCAN and Jean GORDON (descendants include Geo. DUNCAN, stationmaster at Turriff, died 1896, James DUNCAN, mill owner, Macduff, died 1901, also some FINDLAYS and JAMIESONS) - Helen DUNCAN and Thomas ROBERTSON (of Bodiebae, Cabrach - descendants numerous, including Thomas ROBERTSON, schoolmaster, Cabrach) - Robert DUNCAN, farmer, Drumgrain (Drummuir estate) - James DUNCAN, farmer at Parkmore, Dufftown, family numerous - George DUNCAN (to Canada, 1836) - Walter DUNCAN, farmer at Parkbeg, Dufftown, family numerous - Margared DUNCAN and James HAY (descendants named HAY and MCINTOSH in and around Dufftown) I have MI's for the first and second John DUNCAN, above, and for some of the Parkmore and Parkbeg DUNCANS. Happy to share what I have with anyone who recognizes one of the above names. I'm facinated to see the reference to "Drywells" in Alvah in the message board query re. CATTO-DUNCAN. I had assumed that "my" Drywells (in the Cabrach, home to the progeny of Robert DUNCAN and Margaret BROUSTER from about 1766) was unique: now I know of one in Botriphnie as well as one in Alvah! I assume the reason for the name is fairly self-evident, though I have occasionally come across the Cabrach Drywells spelt as "Drywalls." I have a copy of an old photo of the Cabrach Drywells; happy to make copies available to anyone with an interest in that Drywells; also to correspond with anyone who has an interest in the history of the farm..

Hi Maggie I have a few matching surnames in Banffshire in my tree - MCWILLIAM - Margaret Ann ALLAN b1859 Fifekeith daughter of Peter MCWILLIAM and Jane ALLAN. Peter and Jane were married in 1860 at Fifekeith, Keith. Peter was born in Forgue, Aberdeenshire 10/6/1840. By the 1891 and 1901 Census the family are living in Dufftown. DEY - Isobel DEY born about 1740 married Robert GREEN 11/11/1760 at Mortlach. Their daughter Margaret was born 16/8/1761 at Mortlach. I haven't yet found anything out about Isobel. DEY - Hugh DEY married Elizabeth BURGESS. Their daughter Ann DEY was born 1791 in Glass. Struck a wall with this couple but possible that Hugh came from Banffshire. MILNE - Jane MILNE married Alexander MORRISON 11/7/1807 at Gamrie. I don't have anything else on Jane. MITCHELL - George MITCHELL married Isobel ARCHIBALD 8/9/1814 at Grange. The Mitchells in my tree can be found mainly in Drumblade, Forgue and Glass. Wondered if you had come across any of above.
