Hi there, Is there anyone on the list with Maver (originally Mavor) connections from Banchory? I have one link - an Alexander Mavor born in Banchory Devenick however the date recorded on our family bible is 14/04/1965. I have found listed an Alexander Mavor born there on 16/04/1865 but have no way of verifying if this is the same person (very close DOB though - any ideas on whether this is likely to be the same person?). Cheers Lisa

Hello to the list, Just thought I'd post a couple of interests from the area which have been mentioned before (eg by Lisa) but I have not been able to connect. I have John MITCHELL and Agnes MAVOR marrying on 11 Jan 1794 and then proceeding to have 7 children including Margaret (chr 21 Apr 1804) in Drumoak. Their other children were: Jean chr 7 Nov 1794 George chr 14 Apr 1796 James chr 3 Apr 1798 Robert chr 21 May 1800 Christian chr 27 Jun 1802 Joseph chr 3 Apr 1807 (he went to the USA) There was an Agnes MAVOR chr in Banchory-Devenick on 19 Apr 1766, child of Andrew and Jean LEIPER but this would make Agnes 50 when she had her last child to John MITCHELL. Also none of the 4 sons was called Andrew. I cannot see another Agnes in the county but I am well aware this does not mean there wasn't one!!! Does anyone else connect to this family or can shed any light on this? Regards, Cathy in coastal Queensland, Australia
