I think this was not so much a coincidence as a reflection of the fact
that Fraser Place is a 10 minute walk from the erstwhile Kittybrewster
Would these be descendents of my 3xgt-grandparents James ESSON and Jean
ROSS? Their known sons were Alexander (my 2xgt-grandfather), James (b.
Birse 1812), John ((1815), Joseph (1816), George (1825) and Lewis (1831).
Probably all born Birse. I Haven't yet tried to trace their offsprong,
apart from Alexander's.

Hi List,
Have a great uncle Geo Abel living at 15 Fraser place in 1920, his brother John Abel was a railway porter who died that year. I noticed the other day on a posting a James Mc Graith, railways wagon examiner, living at 49 Fraser Place in 1944. Question is. Is or was Fraser Place housing for Railway workers or is this just coincidence.

Yes, I have seen this message. It's what jump started me on this branch. Through this posting, I found a distant relative, who just happens to live about 30 miles away from me in Canada. It really is a small world!
Will let you know if we are also from north of Aderdeen.
Thanks! Di

Hi all. The 1841, 1851, and 1861 census for Strathdon have all been
transcribed and can be found online.
http://www.geocities.com/swalker7736/census.htm has links that will take you
to all of them. This also includes links to the Glenbucket 1841 & 1851
census.
Hope this helps

Hello:
I've already communicated with Georgia off-list (and I remember Donna's
name from my previous connection with this list so I may have sent my
information to her too.) In case there are other Jaffray-Park descendants
out there, though -- my great-grandmother Margaret Park, born in St. Fergus
on 11 June 1845 was the daughter of John Park and Christian Jaffray. As I
told Georgia, there's a birth given in the IGI for a Christian Jaffray in
1814 in St. Fergus, which would be a logical age and place, but

Hi group,
How are you all.
I'm searching for a George Mackie/Michie born about 1869 Greenock Renfrew. He had a brother Frank.
George and Frank are on the 1881 census living/visiting with their grandparents George and Bessy Gray in Peterhead.
Their mother was Catherine Paterson, daughter of Bessie in her first marriage.
George is on his mother Catherine's death certificate living at 65 Loch Street, Aberdeen in 1930.
Have just been on Scotlandspeople but can't find George or Frank's deaths up to 1953, mayb
My great -great- great grandfather James Milne died just before his daughter`s wedding on the 10th June 1871, my query is where can I find out when he died? I have tried searching on Scotspeople and have not found his death
Is there anywhere else I can look? I have tried looking for his wife`s death but alas I haven`t been able to find Ann Thain`s death either. As Daughter Elizabeth Milne was married in the Catholic church would there be separate records for them elsewhere?
