Subject: [DICKSON-L] DICKSON James DICKSON was a farmer in Dunnottar. He married Elisabeth SPALDING on 25th Jan, 1845. Their children were David, John Alexander, James and Elizabeth.( all born between 1846 - 1857) in Kincardine, Dunnottar. James DICKSON had a cousin named Patrick DICKSON and his son was Eric DICKSON. Patrick and Eric moved to the London area. David though married Laura Lucretia SCOTT in 1877 in Aberdeen, and they had two children -Juliet DICKSON b 1887 in Aberdeen and her brother Hugh Spalding DICKSON b 1887 in New Zealand. I hope that this is of interest to someone somewhere......please let me know Patsy Dickson.

My Gt.x 3 Grandfather was David Christie,born around 1808 in Scotland. He married Betty Sherat in Fordoun in 1830 and was listed in the register as being of Fettercairn at that time. In the 1841 census his occupation was labourer and spirit dealer, ( i know there was a distillery at Fettercairn in the 1860's but am not sure about before that), anyway my problem is that i have so far been unable to identify David's birth and therefore do not know who his parents may have been. His eldest son was named William and his eldest daughter was Anne. As his wife's parents were John And Beattie, I wondered if william and Anne may give a clue as to his parents? Help!!, any info./suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Carl Christie

Hello Moray, I have Tavendale's in Laurencekirk. My G.G.Grandmother was Mary Boyack/Boick/Boyeck, daughter of William Boyack and Elizabeth Tavendale. Mary was born 24 Nov 1815, in Laurencekirk she also had brothers David Boyeck 2 Dec 1817 and Alexander 6 Dec 1819, after that no sign of any more children, although William Boyack was still alive at the 1851 census and gave his birth place as Fettercairn, I think Elizabeth must have died early. I have Elizabeth's parents as Alexander Tavendale and Margaret Watson, but I have not been able to prove it so far. I do have a bit on the Tavendale's though. Ruth Edwards

Family story is that she had at least 3 brothers, John, Thomas and Robert, but no Scott family in the OPR's in Kincardine seems to have had children by those names. At least one of the DAVIDSON children is said to have gone to Australia, but I know that William and Ann went to the States, Andrew was in Surrey in 1881 (census), Charlotte lived in and died in Bridlington, England, Margaret was in Montrose, Forfar, and Isabella was in Kintore, Aberdeen in 1881. I have a lot of information on the two who went to the States, but would like to learn more about the others. Any help will be appreciated. Jeannette >> Jeannette Whilst I am currently still grasping at straws, I have found my (confirmed) ggg grandmother was Frances Scott born in Kinneff somewhere between 1833 and 1837 - depends on the information source used IGI & Origins suggest 1837 but she was supposed to be 82 when she died in 1916. She married David Thomson in St Cyrus, KCD on 2 Oct 1858. She was the daughter of Alexander Scott and Ann Balfour (taken from death certificate) who married in Glenbervie on 4 Feb 1815. Other children were Alexander (1821), Walter (*2?, 1829 & 1833), William (1831) & Thomas (1835) The only birth I can find for Alexander senior I can find suggests a birth about 1796 with a father of John Scott. Unfortunately, the trail has currently gone cold at this point but does it look like a possible branch of your tree?

Hello, I am a new subscriber to this website. I am, at present, researching the Lindsay name. My ggggrandfather (Alexander Lindsay) married Ann Lindsay in either St Cyrus or Johnshaven circa 1830. They had one child, a daughter named Susan who was born in Johnshaven on June 3rd, 1833. Ann Lindsay is recorded on the 1851 Census as aged 42 years, residing at 46 Fore Street, Johnshaven. I can find no marriage or death records relating to either Alexander or Ann
