Re: Lorimer Conundrum
Yeah - but it got me a bit further on the William Lorimer, with references and not guesswork. :lol: I now know that Soldier-John is local and not passing through, as she turned up at his father's house. Their relationship had been going on for 2 years, they claim he promised to marry her, though he ...

Re: Lorimer Conundrum
Thanks for the heads up Wilma, I should have kept going, I know better, having had one drag on for years :oops: What a saga, but nothing in the Fordyce Presbytery minutes, sadly. First 1814 entry is April. But Ann Begg is a witness in Ann Smith case against William Smith in October in Ordiquhill. If...

Re: Lorimer Conundrum
Thanks KT - that does open things up a bit more =D> Still no baptisim record for William sadly so his BOD is still vague. I wonder where the whole Begg/Oglivie marriage came from on the Death Cert, unless Isabel Begg is Ann's sister and William's son got confused. (no sign of her being a sister in t...

Lorimer Conundrum
I have an ancestor giving me a headache and the newly released Kirk Session Minutes have drawn a blank. I am going round in circles and need some fresh eyes on this problem. ](*,) Can anyone see something I am missing and do you think the Death Cert info can be trusted? William Lorimer born - c1814 ...

Re: Virtual Volumes on Scotlands People
I need to dig out my list of fatherless children that I couldn't look up until I could get into the Records Office in Edinburgh. And guess who is luckily on holiday next week, timing couldn't be better for me

Re: William Wilson (Born 1816, Elgin, Moray)
Hi Pinemartin Where did you get that Wiliam was born 1816 in Elgin? I'm not finding a birth for a William Wilson in Elgin 1816 in Scotland's People or Family Search and nothing old enough in Libindx (my go-to for anything Moray), http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp Found two with father George ...

Re: Astral House, Gray Road, Liff, Angus, Scotland.
Huntly is much further north, near the border with Moray - so you are lookin at more than one Astral House.

Re: Alias surnames
When I saw the title I thought they were going to talk about Tee-names, but that isn't how they are recorded, and I'm not sure if it stretches up to Black isle. My maternal family is riddled with Tee-names, it is a Fishing Village things. They are recorded as John Wood "Deacon" or George "Sailor" Fl...

Re: Decyphering a death reg
Could you give us some more details - I'm trying to look for births with a mother's surname starting G and father Smith, but I'm having to guess at Jane's age and that she was born in Fife. Even the Father's full name and the mother's first - if you can read them - would help.
