Title: Scott Tyrie, Aberdour
Post by: sioux22 on Monday 15 May 06 18:11 BST (UK)
Hi

I am trying to find out what happened to Alexander Scott christened 11.02.1799 Kirktown, Tyrie. he had a brother John born 1802 & a sister Elizabeth born 1800. Their parents were Alexander Scott & Christian Pyper.
I can't find anything definite in the 1841 census. However Alexander does not appear in his father's will written in 1840 approx. Alexander Scott is a very common name sadly.
The family lived in Aberdour, Aberdeenshire as well.

I would appreciate any help or info.

Sorry Sioux,

Didn't find Alexander Scott, or any of the other names in the Aberdour or Tyrie MI's at the ANESFHS

Hi Grothenwell

Thanks.

I have since found Alexander's parents were buried in Peathill Cemetary but still no Alexander.

Hi, any luck yet? I am a descendant of his brother, John SCOTT.

Hi AJScott,

Welcome to RootsChat.  I am very sorry but it looks like sioux's emails have stopped working, I have done a quick search but I have been unable to find an alternative contact :'(

Regards

Sarah

It's okay Sarah, he has since found out that these Scotts are not his ancestors, they are mine though. For anyone interested, Alexander Scott snr, his wives, Christian Pyper & Janet Birnie are buried at Peathill. John & his sister, Elizabeth, are both buried at New Aberdour.  I have no knowledge of the Alexander Scott that sioux was referring to.
