I looked on the inscriptions for the gravestones in Botriphnie for my family, but it looks as if they must be in a later cemetry, perhaps that one was full by the time they died. They were in Botriphnie in 1841,1851 and possibly before and after that, but they seem to have lived in Inveravon from 1730 or before until they went to Botriphnie and after about 1860 some of them moved to Edinburgh. I just can't seem to find them on any of the information I have looked at in the area apart from the parish registers for a couple of the births and marriages. If I find any of your names I will let you know, I expect you have already looked at the inscriptions on the gravestones. The name Raich was there I think, but I'm not sure about the others. I will keep looking and if I find anything I will let you know, what have you got so far? I have George Stephen b. 1743 Inv, son of John Stephen and Isabel Kernuch alias Grant no dates for them. George married Ann McRobie b. 1737 Inv. daughter of John McRobie no date. They married in 1766 Inveravon. Their sons were John 1768 and James William 1770 both Inver. John married Ann Garrow b. 1774 Mortlach. they married in 1793 in Inver. George 1794, William 1796, Elspeth 1798, all Inver. John 1801 Mortlach, Charles 1803, Alexander 1805, Mary 1811 all Inver. These were mostly all living in Botriphnie in 1841. John 1801 married Margaret Finlay b. 1805 Angus, Forfar, they married in 1825 in Grange. They had two sons William b. 1826 in Grange and Alexander b. 1838 in Huntley Aberdeen. He was my gg grandfather, he married Ellen Elliot Macdonald Caird in Edinburgh in 1865. Ellen was the daughter of John Caird and Eliza Burnet. If anyone recognises any of these I would be grateful. Christine Grover nee Stephen.
