Thankyou very much indeed Sharon. Yes it does help, as now I know there are no extra children.

Hello Liz, Thankyou for your email. It was lovely to see something pop up like that. I think maybe Roberts wife Mary may have died before the 1851 census. I have found a Robert Thomson living in Laurencekirk in 1851 , who would have been around tdhe right age, and he certainly is the right profession but he is married to a person named ann. They had two other children one called Mary Ann and the other Margaret. Now I can find no marriage for this Robert Thomson or births for Mary ann or Margaret..............so I do not really know if it is our man. I do know when his son James (the man I follow) married in 1857 to Helen Watt he stated his mother was deceased, but not his father. I did not know he had a daughter called Elizabeth in 1832. I only knew a daughter called Jean Jack Thomson bapt 5 February 1832 in Laurencekirk. Is this the same person by another name???? Now haviang said all that, in the 1851 census I did not find an Elizabeth Thomson either. Now a Robert Thomson was a witness to Elizabeth when she marrid William Gall in 1858.well a Robert Thomson was witness to James Thomson in 1858 as well. Do you know who Robert Thomsons parents were ????? Maybe that might help, as the Robert I found in Laurencekirk says he was born in Fifeshire in Newburgh?????? Do you know anything else about the family at all????? I do know some. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Carolyn, I too am descended from Robert Thomson and Mary Clark through their daughter Elizabeth Thomson bc.1832 in Laurencekirk. I am afraid that I cannot answer your question as to where Robert Thomson/Mary Clark were in 1851 but at the time of Elizabeth's marriage to William Gall on January 15, 1858 in Laurencekirk one of the witnesses was a Robert Thomson - ? whether this was Elizabeth's father. I would be interested to know if you find the solution. Liz Riddell

Hi Carolyn, I've been following your messages over the last few days with interest - in only that most of my ancestors came from Kincardinshire but as of yet, I have no Thomsons. I do have a Watt - pre-1800, I believe. I have the LDS microfiche for Kincardine. To date I've not found any information that is not on IGI online but it is a different format. I've looked at your family tonight and what I have found totally agrees with your data. Elizabeth Thompson......... none born in all of Kincardine between 1829 and 1836 - and then none to Robert.. James Thomson ...... born 04 Mar 1836 @ Laurencekirk married 1857 to Helen Watt Jean Jack Thomson.... born 05 February 1832 @ Laurencekirk Robert Thomson....... M. Mary Clerk/Clark 27 Oct 1827 Laurencekirk Also a marriage to a Helen Collie in Dec 1841 @ Kinneff & Catterline and another to Jane Middleton 27 Oct 1849 @ Laurencekirk. Banns were also posted @ Arbuthnott. Like you, I found no births for Mary or Margaret Thomson. Sorry that this is probably no help but let me know if I can look for anything else in Kincardine for you.

Hello Carolyn There is no one who fits the description of your Thomson family on the 1841 census for Fettercairn. I have also checked Strachan 1841, Fordoun 1841 and Fetteresso 1841. Sorry I couldn't help further. Sharon researching GLASS EMSLIE COUTTS McKONDACH and GORDON in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire special interests in parish of BIRSE, and the area of the FOREST OF BIRSE Hello, has any one on this list the 1841 census of Fettercairn. I am very interested to see if a family called Robert Thomson and wife maybe Mary living there with a daughter Jean Jack Thomson and a son called James Thomson born in 1836 in Fettercairn? The library where I usually order my films in, will be on holiday in 10 days time, so I will not be able to order this film in until February next year. I don't know if I will be able to perfect my patience until then???? Can anyone please help me?? Carolyn ______________________________

This family I am looking for is a Robert thomson born ?? but married Mary Clark in 1827 in Laurencekirk and then had two childrne. Jean thomson in 1832 in Laurencekirk and James in 1836 in Laurencekirk. James the sone married Hellen Watt in 1857 in Laurencekirk. I found Helen Watt living with her father William Watt in Fordoun in 1851. Can I ask you to look in Fordoun for them in 1841. If I can help you at all, p[lease just ask.

There's probably more life in these cemeteries than there is right now on this list! Ha ha! If anyone should know the burial location of any of their relatives in the south Kincardineshire area then I would be more than happy to photograph the headstone for you. That offer is free. BURIAL RECORDS HELD BY ANBERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL courtesy of their website at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk BURIAL GROUND RECORDS Burial ground records for Aberdeenshire are held at some registrar's offices and at Gordon House, Landscape Services, Blackhall Road, Inverurie, iscentral@aberdeenshire.gov.uk (including ground plans). The burial ground records may allow you to see all who is buried in a particular lair. Often this can lead you to finding other family members and other branches of the family. Headstones may have inscriptions of all the family, but that does not necessarily mean that all the persons are buried there. Also persons maybe interred in a lair but are not mentioned on the headstone. Only by checking the records can this be established. For a search fee (currently of £10 UK) this information can be accessed either in person or by the person in charge of the burial records.

Good Morning, this is my first post to this list. I am researching the families James Thomson born 1836 in Fettercairn who married Helen Watt in 1857 in Laurencekirk. James father was Robert Thomson and Mary Clark. Helen Watts family was William Watt and Jean Sherrat. Is there anyone out there researching these families or associated families. I would like to make contact if you are. Carolyn

Does anyone have information about a Mrs. TAYLOR who ran a Stationer & Printer business in the Market Square Stonehaven? I recently acquired a small booklet, "Map of Stonehaven and District" published by Mrs. TAYLOR. However it has no date and I'm trying to get an idea of when it might have been printed (to date the best guess is mid to late 19th century). Some other clues include an advertisement in the booklet for "Longmuir's Guide to Dunnottar Castle" (price 6d) as well as an advertisement for "Photographs of Stonehaven and Muchalls in Opaline and Plush Mountings". Do any researchers have information about the publication date of Longmuir's Guide or perhaps have a photograph of Stonehaven or Muchalls in an opaline or plush mounting with a date? This looks to be Mrs. TAYLOR in 1881?

I have sent part of this message to the Aberdeenshire list but now believe Johnshaven may be in Kincardine! I have a diary written by my great-grandfather Dr James RORIE. In it, he notes that his wife's great-grandfather was a manufacturer in Johnshaven, and also that his father before him was also from Johnshaven. From a Google search, I have found that a sailcloth works was set up in Johnshaven in 1790, and this would fit. My great-grandmother was Margaret BAXTER(1837-1925), of the Baxter Brothers manufacturing family of Dundee. One of her grandfathers was JOHN URQUHART, a mill manager, and his wife was Allison MANN. Their first known child was also John, born 1795, and they also had Elizabeth (mother of Margaret) born about 1809. I suspect that the URQUHART name may be the family from Johnshaven, but am not sure. Can anyone tell me where to find more information about the history of Johnshaven, particularly the industries, and of course if anyone had information that would place the Urquharts in Johnshaven that would be wonderful! My 4g grandfather George RORIE married Margaret (or Mary) STEWART 10 Feb 1775 in Marykirk. I have been unable to trace any further back than this although I think George came from the Brechin area. I wonder if anyone else knows anything about STEWARTS in the Marykirk area arund this time. Thank you Jane

Hello Listers Please can someone help with any information, however small, about these places or people (or the families that owned the Estates) mentioned in a Will. Most wonderful of all would be an 1861 census lookup :-) " I, William Matthewson residing at Laurencekirk assistant factor on the Estate of Hankerton and others in the Counties of kincardine and Forfar...." ..."make over to and in favour of Mrs Barbara Nicoll or Mathewson my mother, residing at Nester Braikie in the parish of Kinnell and County of Forfar...." The will was signed on 25/05/1863 and he died 26/04/1865. I am trying to help a good friend to crack her brick wall. Is it usual that the occupation of 'Factor' was a father ->son tradition? We are looking for a George Matthewson (Coachman) born c1821 somewhere in Scotland with a father William MATTHEWSON who was an estate manager & I hope that the William above could be his son. Many thanks Rosemary in Western Australia

Rosemary, The farm will be Haulkerton which is still in existence on the west side of Laurencekirk.

Most wonderful of all would be an 1861 census lookup :-) " I, William Matthewson residing at Laurencekirk assistant factor on the Estate of Hankerton and others in the Counties of kincardine and Forfar...." ..."make over to and in favour of Mrs Barbara Nicoll or Mathewson my mother, residing at Nester Braikie in the parish of Kinnell and County of Forfar...." The will was signed on 25/05/1863 and he died 26/04/1865. I am trying to help a good friend to crack her brick wall. Is it usual that the occupation of 'Factor' was a father ->son tradition? We are looking for a George Matthewson (Coachman) born c1821 somewhere in Scotland with a father William MATTHEWSON who was an estate manager & I hope that the William above could be his son.
