1. Re: Aberchirder Fountain [1]
Hi Graeme, I should be heading for Huntly (just along the road from Foggyloan), within the next few days and can easily take a photograph of the fountain for you. Just e-mail me your snail mail address privately and I will send it to you when I have the film developed. Incidentally, I too have the name Auchinachie somewhere on a branch of my tree - an Alexander Auchinachie who married Elspet Murray at St Joseph's Chapel Woodside Aberdeen in 1899 - any connection? Regards Marina > >I'm not sure if Abe

3. Re: Royal Scots Labour Corp ? [1]
I recently came across the following information on a General Register of Poor - "He served in various stations with Royal Scots Labour Corps & R.W.N/C ?? from 31/3/96 to 19/9/19. He did not leave an allotment to anyone and has been in Aberdeen since discharge." Does anyone know what the Royal Scots Labour Corp & R.W.N/C was? Marina
4. Re: Monquhitter School Admission Register [1]
Although the Monquhitter register starts in 1899, your grandfather may well appear on it if he had attended another school prior to that. There was a school at Greeness, but I am sorry I don't know when it was founded - it closed a few years ago. Most children started school at the age of 5, but some did go to school when they were only 4 years of age. You can see the Monquhitter school register at The Town Archives, Dunbar Street, Aberdeen - open Monday - Wednesday only and by appointment. What was
5. William Grant LL.D. [0.978479]
William Grant LL.D. was born in 1863 in Elgin, MOR, the eldest son of Robert Grant, a surveyor, and Christina Fraser. These Grants originally hailed from Sheuglie in Glenurquhart, INV. William became a noted Scottish linguist and was a founder of the Scottish National Dictionary. He died in 1946 in Aberdeen and I am unsure if he was married. I would love to hear from anyone who has come across William Grant or the names of his publications in their Aberdeen/generalScottish reading. Peter Grant Lyttelton,

Hi, all, I, too have a Daniel/Donald. My 3x great uncle was Daniel LINDSAY, born in Tulliallan, Perth in 1838, and in the 1851 census, the census taker listed him as Donald. I thought the census taker just didn't hear correctly. It's interesting to note now that it seems to be a common enough exchange. Lynn in Baltimore
