3. [ABERDEEN] City/Business Directories - Barre, Vermont [0.977607]
I posted information some time ago about a 1905 Barre, Vermont City Directory that is posted on the internet. I just found that along with this is an 1883-84 City/Business Directory. There are many Scots names in there - they came to Barre, mostly from Aberdeen and the surrounding area to work in the granite industry. I thought some of the people new to the list might like to look through them. For those of you who have seen the 1905 Directory, please take a look at the very early Scots who immigr

Hi Irene, Barehillock is just out of Tarland. There are two ways to get there, travel the Logie Coldstone road for about 2 miles, turn off towards Migvie for about a mile, take the first bitumen road heading back to Tarland. Barehillock is only a short distance from the

Hi folks, I have decided i am too enamoured with the Highlands and might fall to the sin of 'Tartanism' and getting nowhere with my last posting will turn to the mysterious side of my family - my mother's. Those of you who are interested in finding ancestors within the City of Aberdeen might find common interest. My mother's maiden name was Elsie Kirk, her mother's name was Elsie Ann Elrick Kirk. My mother lived on King Street with my grandmother as a child. My grandmother moved to a prefab in Hayto

9. [ABERDEEN] About middle names [0.977607]
Hi, Listers, I had the same dilemma. I have JAMES WALKER HAY and I could not figure out where that middle name came from! After reading about the "history" of the times and of the church in that time frame (1835) I think I now have an answer. The family, on naming their sixth child, and supporting their parish vicar, decided to name their son after him (1835). Sounds good anyway, for 1835 in Huntly. I know its not the mothers maiden name, hers was GILBERT. Heidi
10. Re:[ABERDEEN] Scottish naming conventions [0.977607]
Tony wrote: > I understand that there was a convention in Scotland for naming of > children after grandparents etc; > ... There was such a convention, but it is important to realise that not every family used it, and even families that did, didn't necessarily follow it to the letter. So while the naming convention can give you useful clues as to where to look for missing ancestors, it doesn't prove that you've found them. Gavin Bell
11. Re: [ABERDEEN] James DAVIDSON born Scotland ca. 1812 [0.977607]
Hi Pete Does your family of Davidson join up with the Davidsons in Aberdeen. Alexandrina [alexina] Milne daughter of Alexander Milne and May Dow married John Davidson in 1884 St Nicholas Aberdeen. His parents were listed on the marriage certificate as John Davidson and Mary Knowles. According to the marriage certificate Johnjunior was born ca 1852, but I have found a John born to the above parents 18th Oct 1849, so perhaps he didn't want to appear too old on his marriage certificate. Does this information

18. [ABERDEEN] James DAVIDSON born Scotland ca. 1812 [0.977607]
Re-posting my brickwall. My gggrandfather James DAVIDSON was born in Scotland ca. 1812, possibly in Aberdeenshire. From James's marriage certificate, I know his father's name was George DAVIDSON, a blacksmith, but I don't have his mother's name. It's possible that the family moved to Greenock when James was small or before he was born. There's a family story that George or James ended up as an engineer on the steam ferries to Ireland. James moved south to Bristol by 1841 & on to Swindon (Wiltshire) in the

20. [ABERDEEN] McGregor at Longside [0.977607]
Hi, I've been off the listg for some considerable time, but have made a slight breakthrough in my search. Has anyone come across John McGREGOR in Longside. He married Margaret BARRY. IGI shows a marriage to people of this name in Old Machar Aberdeen in 1829, so possibly they were not originally from Longside.

Gavin The cup-and-pulley system in Department Stores worked by a catapult. We used to have one in our local co-op in Surrey and we actually saw an original installation still in situ in a store in Kilmare, Co Kerry, in June - not working alas. So Ireland haven't got rid of all their heritage! The counter assistant sent the wheeled cup on its way by pulling an escape mechanism which tensed an elastic belt [not unlike the band used to tie things to panniers & roof-racks]. The force sent the cup up the wir
