I'm interested to hear from anyone who has any connection or any information on the following families.
Robello - Aberdeen 1840 onwards
Dow - Drumblade/Insch/Aberdeen
Bain/McBain - Aberdeen 1830 onwards
Meldrum - Drumblade/Forgue/Insch
Horn - Insch
Mortimer - Insch
Morrison - Forgue/Insch
Riddel - Insch

I have some Meldrums from Drumblade. I have a Charles Meldrum, born May 26, 1849 in Drumblade. He married Jessie Ann Robertson, born Aug 25, 1853 in Gartly. They were married in Glasgow Sept 29, 1875 and came to America (Buffalo, New York) in 1889. Charles was an engineer and blacksmith in Huntly in the 1881 Census.
Charles's parents were Peter Meldrum and Elizabeth Mitchell. Peter from Dukewell, Drumblade, born 1802 and Elizabeth from Kennethmont born 1815. Peter's parents were William Meldrum and Janet Grant, from Rynie and Essie.
Would we be sharing the same family?

Hello Paul,
I am researching people who lived at Bograxie near Inverurie.
Ann Riddel(husband John Mortimer) had a brother John who lived at Bograxie 1861 - 1881, married to Janet Cowie. I haven't managed to find death certificates for John or Janet, do you have any info on them or their children?
John.
-
Hi John
I don't have deaths at the moment for John Riddel and Janet Cowie as of yet but I am going through to New Rigister House in Edinburgh on the 19th of July, I have look for them when iam there.
regards
Paul
-
Hello Paul
Did you find any info on John Riddel and Janet Cowie deaths when you visited Register House?
John.
-
Hi John
Sorry for taken so long to get back to you.
Unfortunately I could'nt find deaths for John Riddel and Janet Cowie unfortunately I have not been able to find them after the 1881 census.
I am going up to Aberdeen Family History Society Research Centre hopefully in October so I going to have another look there.
In the meantime are you able to give me the information you have this family to see if that help me when i search for them.
regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
John and Janet farmed at Bograxie, near Inverurie, from about 1852 till 1881 when they seemed to disappear. I haven't investigated emmigration possibilities yet. Their son James, born Insch 1849, was also farming at Bograxie in 1881. He died in 1885, found drowned in the well of a neighbouring farm; his widow and family were at Newhills near Aberdeen in 1891. Keep looking and maybe we can finish the jigsaw one day.
John.
-
probably not anything related to your family of Riddells but i have a deceased Grandfather who was a John Riddell. He lived and died in Aberchirder (Foggieloan as it's known locally). I don't have any details other than he died possibly in the early 1990's and is buried in marnoch cemetary. If you've got or have come across anything that may link him in anyway please let me know as I'd be really pleased to receive anything at the minute that might help me move on in my search :)

I wonder if this matches up with your tree?.
Paul

Hi Paul
Unforunately I don't have a Peter Meldrum in my tree, there was two Meldrum families in Insch I have not found a connection between both as of yet.

Hi Joe,
Thank you very much. I have some 1841 information. Would love to find where David Mortimer (b 1812 Insch) was hiding in 1841.
Kind regards
Judy

hi judy, was your david married to helen?

Joe

Hi Judy
I have quite alot information about the Mortimer, Morrisons and Horn families.
My Mortimer family go back to Alexander Mortimer (6th Great Grandfather) who married Elspet Watt in Insch in 1773 they had son of name of William who marired Margaret McRonald on the 4th of February 1801 in Insch they had at least two children John Mortimer and Janet Mortimer. John was my 4th Great Grandfather.
John had a child with Ann Riddel daughter of Charles Riddel and Mary Morison of name of Mary Mortimer, Mary was born on the 29th of September 1834, she married a George Meldrum son of George Meldrum and Margaret Morrison in Insch in 1863.
As far a I know My Mortimer's lived in Upper Boddam.
With regard to the Morrisons have two Morrison families in my tree.
I have Mary Morison wife of Charles Riddel she was born about 1785 and was the daughter of John Morison and Elsept Wisely.
I also have Margaret Morrison wife of George Meldrum she was born in 1801 in Midshalloch Forgue and was the daughter of John Morrison and Margaret Alexander.
Finally My connection with Horn family is a Jane Horn who was the wife of John Dow and the daughter of James Horn and Mary Brown she was born in 1810 in Insch.
I have much more information on these families if you require further information please let me know.
-
hi judy, was your david married to helen?
have a daughter barbara and a son james?
Joe
No my David never married until 1858
-
Hi Paul,
So many names the same but I can't see a connection. I have William Mortimer married Isobel Smith 1800 leased the mill of Knockenbaird, his son-in-law John Morrison (married daughter Isobel) took over the lease.
William Mortimer's parents were William Mortimer and Janet Wisely from Nether Boddam.
My gt gt grandfather David was the son of William Mortimer and Isobel Smith, he came to Australia in 1858 with his wife Jane Benzie. Jane's parents were George Benzie and Jane Horn.
Isobel Morrison was the only one of 8 children to remain in Scotland.

Hi Paul,
I have pasted this reply you made in a previous post. Have you managed to find out what happened to John and Janet?
"Unfortunately I could'nt find deaths for John Riddel and Janet Cowie unfortunately I have not been able to find them after the 1881 census.
I am going up to Aberdeen Family History Society Research Centre hopefully in October so I going to have another look there."

I thought update the information on the Families in Aberdeenshire that I am researching.
Robello - Looking for information on Paul Robello who married Mary Ann McKay daughter of William McKay and Maria Withnall on the 16th of December 1853. Also the McKay family mary ann had a sister Catherine McKay who was born in Aberdeen in 1834 she had two children with a James Davie, James and clara. Catherine then married William Aitken in Edinburgh in 1868.
Meldrum - Looking for information on the family of George Meldrum and Elspet Mackie who married on the 9th of August 1800. I know they had at least five children George (1800), Mary (1804), Jean (1802), Anne (1808) and Margaret. All the children were born in Insch except George who was born in Leslie.
Mortimer - Looking for information on Alexander Mortimer & Elspet Watt who were married in 1773 in Insch. They had one child William Mortimer who married Margaret McRonald in Insch in 1801. They had two children Janet (1802) & John (1803). The Mortimers lived at Overboddam (upper Boddam) in Insch.
-
The Meldrums are not blood relations of mine but John Meldrum was my father's step father and 'Grandad Meldrum' to me and I have vague memories of him although he died when I was about 4.
I know that he came from Huntly and that his parents were farmers so I believe that he must be the John Meldrum that appears on the 1881 and 1891 census at Dukewell, the son of William and Margeret. I don't know his DOB but c.1878 seems about right.
My 'Grandad Meldrum' became a ships chief engineer, latterly on the 'Levenpool' (I have perhaps the only existing picture of the ship). He married my grandmother Mary Ellen Anderson Scott nee Richardson in (I think but I have yet to send for the suspected marriage certificate) 1911 and they lived in the Tynemouth area. Unfortunately, she made him give up the sea and work in a factory but he was an intelligent man who loved mathematics and mathmatical puzzles. I still have his parallel rulers and a puzzle book.
I believe that he had one brother who became a doctor, his studies partially funded by my grandfather. I believe that he had a sister who may have become a university lecturer but I am not sure.
After his wife died in 1947, he moved to Leigh-on-Sea, Essex to live with my parents but died a couple of years later.
John had no children of his own so it would be nice to fit him into someone's family tree so that he is not completely forgotten. I can't find another John Meldrum in the Huntly area at the right time (apart from the nephew John aged 11 on the 1881 census and also living at Dukewell).
Is this of any interest to you?
-
Hi
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
The only John Meldrum I have in my tree is my GG Uncle who was born in 1863 in Insch, his parents were George Meldrum and Mary Mortimer.
John Married Mary Brown Murray and lived in forgue in Aberdeenshire.
Sorry there is no connection this time.

Hello Paul
I was just trawling through the site when I saw that you are related to John Meldrum. He was the Souter who lived in my house at Templeford in Forgue. I am currently setting up an exhibition of social history in Forgue and the Murray/Meldrums have a starring role! I have the original feu disposition signed by William Farquharson Murray who was John Meldrum's father in law. He bought the house in 1920 moving from just down the road at Aucharnie where he lived in a row of cottar cottages.
It would be great if you could get in contact. If you have any family photos that you would be willing to led me or email to be that would be great. Any family history - especially social history would be great too. If you would like to see the house at any time then just let me know (*)and I can show you around (not that there's much!). But there is the kitchen range that Sandy Meldrum put in on his marriage.
Kind regards
Catriona McKay

Hi Paul,
I have Morrisons in Forgue & Huntly practically coming out of my ears if that's any help to you?
The furthest definite link back I have is William MORRISON, born at Brae of Bognie, Forgue in 1772 who married Isabel HENDERSON and died sometime before 1841. They had at least four sons - John, Alexander, William and George. George farmed at Mid Ashalloch, Forgue, until his death in 1883 and was married to Janet SIMPSON, although he also had two children by Janet TAYLOR. John maried Janet DAVIDSON, and William married Catherine BANNERMAN.
They were fruitful and multiplied, and I'm starting to think they're related to just about every Morrison in Forgue today!
-
Have not visited this board for some time and I have just seen your message.
My family farmed at Dukewell and my G3 Grandfather was William Meldrum (1766-1850) .
William married Janet Grant and they had four children including Janet Meldrum (1809-1894). Janet had a second husband (?) John Milne - can't find marriage certificate - but a William Meldrum is her son. Born 1843, died Feb 4th 1924, he married Margaret Mitchell (1851-July 3rd 1939), and had a son John born 1878, died Sept 7th 1944.
I have photos of the family, including John, outside the farm as well as recent photos of the farm today and the 1930's.
If this links with your relatives, I would be happy to share greater details.
My new e-mail is:

Hi:
I have a large Meldrum family originating in Sunderland Co. Durham starting with John b circa 1768 who married Mary Pearson in 1790. They had children Robert, John, Elizabeth and Isabella, all baptised in the Scottish church. John was a master mariner and belonged to the Free Masons.
There are also a few other small Meldrum families in Sunderland at the time, who also baptised their children in the Scottish church, who I feel may be connected -
1. Alexander Meldrum b circa 1795, in the navy, married Eleanor White and had son Alexander George. I'm judging his birth by Eleanor's birth date of 1797 taken from her burial record, but obviously it could be out.
2. Peter Meldrum b circa 1764, ballast keelman, married Jean Grigor/Gregory who had children James, Robert, John, Peter and William. Again judging Peter's birth date from his wifes. Jean was born 1764, age 28 when they married in 1792.
2. Isabella b abt. 1789 gave birth to an illegitimate son James in 1810. She died in 1810 age 21.
I feel they may all have originated in Scotland, including my main family, and would dearly love to go back that bit further.
Any possible connections, or suggestions would be gratefully received :)
Linda

Hi Linda,
Sorry, but none of my curent people link to Sunderland :'(
I have come to a halt with my direct line in 1780 (parish records destroyed), but there may be link as yet not found. I'll keep digging.
Thanks or the reply.

I have a Mary MORTIMER (my gg grandmother) who married William Geddes at Insch on 9 Jun 1850. She was born in 1821 (location not known) and died on 17 Mar 1894 at 25 Summerfield Terrace, Aberdeen.
Her parents were George MORTIMER and Jane Dawson of whom I have no details yet.
William GEDDES was a master meal miller at Mill of Auchmacoy, Logie, Buchan.
-
Hi LInda,
My Meldrums don't seem to have any connection with Sunderland, I have got back to my GGGG Grandfather George Meldrum he has baptised in Leslie Aberdeenshire on the 15th of November 1800 his parents George Meldrum (another one I have seven in my tree all related!) and Elspet Mackie.
If you require any thing else just let me know.
Regards
Paul

Hi mnj897
I do have Mortimers living in Insch at that time but don't at the moment with your Mortimers but there is a lot of Mortimers living Insch at that time so you never know!
My Mortimers go back to Alexander Mortimer who married who married Elspet Watt daughter of John Watt and Margaret Wisely in 1773 in Insch. So far I have only found one child for the them my GGGGG Grandfather William Mortimer who was born in Kinnethmont Aberdeenshire in 1775, William Married a Margaret McRonald in Insch in 1801, they had two children Janet (1802) and John (1803), John had a daughter Mary Mortimer in 1834 in Insch with Ann Riddel daughter of Charles Riddel and Mary Morison. Mary Mortimer married George Meldrum in INsch in 1863.
The Mortimer's lived in Overboddam (Upper Boddam) in Insch.
If you require any thing else please let me know.
Regards
Paul

I'm hoping someone might have info on this family. I have a marriage between Alexander Riddle and Jane Morrison on Sept 1, 1832, Old Machar Aberdeen. They are my ancestors, but I am having trouble finding additional info.
Thanks
Tina
-
If you go to www.familysearch.org & enter the couple's names you will find that there is a son David born 12th April 1855 in the parish of St.Nicholas,Aberdeen.
I then went on to www.freecen.rootsweb.com & found this family in 1841 census.They were living in Hutcheon Street,Aberdeen.
Al.Riddel (note spelling) is 35 & a mason,Jane is25,Margt.8,Mary 7,Jane 5,Ann 4months,& also there is a John Sutherland,2.They were all born in Aberdeenshire.
I have n't found them in 1851 yet, they may be mistranscribed.
Being a mason Alexander may have gone abroad,as many Aberdonian stonemasons did,& came back a few years later. I would v'e expected to find his wife & children at home though.
Might I suggest that your next step should be to go on scotlandspeople,where you may find marriage,death & birth details for this family?
regards,
flst
-
Hi Runtage and flst :)
I'm struggling like you flst to find them in the 1851 census.
There is this entry in the Wills & Testaments section on Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk which might relate to Alexander:
Alexander Riddell, 14/10/1865, Mason in Aberdeen residing in Holburn Place of Old Machar, Aberdeen Sheriff Court Inventories SC1/36/57
Monica
:-\ Probably not connected. There is an Alexander Riddel showing in the 1861 Census in Holburn Place, Old Marchar, a mason by trade, but aged 80.
-
My sincere Thanks for the info. This gives me a new start. I know that at least some of their grandchildren ended up in Edinburgh. I love family history. Challenging and frustrating but so rewarding when you finally break through the brick wall.
-
Hi Runtage
If I can suggest something. Flst found a birth for a son David to a couple with the right names in 1855. This was the first year of official registration in Scotland and for that year only, certificates ran over two pages of the register and included a wealth of additional info. For births, it will include very complete parents' details including where the parents were from, ages, occupation for father, where and when parents' married and how many children they'd had (alive/deceased, girls/boys). By 1856, the entries were down to one page with less information.
This certificate will let you verify that it is the right couple for your family and provide additional information that you many not easily find elsewhere.
The only 1861 entry that I can see with a son David born in Aberdeen City is this one:
Jane Riddle 49, head, Private Lodging House, b. Portsoy Banff
Alexander Riddle 18, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
William Riddle 10, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
James Riddle 8, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
David Riddle 5, b. St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Alexander Laing 30, lodger
Alexander McDonald 16, lodger
Robert Reid 64, lodger
James Bennet 23, lodger
Address: 34 Shiprow, Aberdeen St Nicholas
Without being able to find the family in 1851, it is harder to be certain that this is them but the above entry is the only one showng for a David b. 1855 in St Nicholas Aberdeen in the 1861 census....so happens his mother is Jane!
Monica :)
-
:D Found them in 1851...phew, took a while! All the children show as born in Aberdeen (City)
Alexander Reddel 46, mason, b. Foveran, Aberdeensh
Jean Reddel 39, b. Portsoy, Banffshire
Margaret Reddel 18
Mary Reddel 17
Jean Reddel 14
Ann Reddel 9
Alexr Reddel 7
George Reddel 5
William Reddel 11 Months,
Address: 11 Rennys Wynd, Aberdeen South
Possible christening entry for Alexander Snr.:
ALEXANDER RIDDEL Christening: OCT 1804 Foveran, Aberdeen
Parents:JOHN RIDDEL and MARGARET KELLY
They both look to have died after 1855, so you should be able to find Alexander and Jane's (Jean is a common variant) death certificates on Scotlands People, with the link that flst provided earlier. This will let you confirm their parents' names (if known to the informant).

Whose coat of arms is that Drom image you have attached to your postings?
Gordon.
-
Hi Gordon
It is the Byrne Coat of arms
Regards
Paul
-
Coats of arms are not for a surname, they belong to an individual, which is why I asked WHOSE coat of arms they were. Scottish coats of arms are granted by the Lord Lyon king of arms. Each coat of arms shows the relationship of that individual to a predecessor, and other members of his/her family have differenced arms, to show their relationship to him. The original arms can only be inherited by the eldest son as heir.

Dear Paul and several others who have contributed,
I have almost completed the stage of the family tree that I set myself a few
months ago, and was deliberating as to what to do next when I came across this site and your request for clues. I saw a clutch of names that have appeared in the family tree, such as it is, that I have been compiling and found references to Robello, Meldrum,
Bain and Dow, whose names also appear in one half of my own effort. I have the names of people whom I stood a chance of meeting,
and one or two more, but they number 220.
I was unaware that the Robello contingent could have hailed from there, but the other names have their shoes well steeped in the mud of the area.
There is one name that links several of these, and that is John Davidson who married Janet Meldrum (I know not exactly where or when) but their eldest child, Annie was born in Boddam as I understand. She would have emerged into this world around 1880-3 and was the eldest of seven bearing such names as George, Alec, Richard, John, Margaret and Mary.
My youthful (tee hee) enthusiasm prompts me to suggest that the likelihood of a match is fairly high. I stand to be told to sit down again straight away.
I hope we might have something to exchange, and that the dim and distant past will emerge into the light
-
Hi tireur d elite
Sorry for taking so long to come back to you.
I am very interested in your post as you seem to have all the same family names as i do.
As you said in your post, most of these families lived in aberdeenshire for generations especially the Meldrums, Dow's and Davidsons. The Bain family have actually traced back to Caithness were my GGG Grandfather George Bain was born and they came to Aberdeen in the late1830's early 1840's.
The Robello's are originally from Italy, my GG Grandfather Paulo (Paul) Robello arrived in the UK in the early 1840's, he finally settled in Aberdeen in the early 1850's were he married Mary Ann Mckay in 1853 and they went on to have 8 children, unfortunately only three of these children survived to be adults including my Great Grandfather Paul Robello who married Helen Bain daughter of Alexander Bain and Agnes Johnston.
I have alot more information on all of these families, so it would be great to hear form you.
