I am new to Roots. Do don't know how old this message might be.  However Robert Kettles and Mary Oliphant were my maternal great great grandparents  I would be very interested to hear from anyone in the Kettles family.

Robert's parents were William Kettles and Mary Scobie.  I have no date for him but she was born 1799 and died in Errol 1883

Hello

I'd like to ask if the Oliphant line you have goes back to a 'Preacher of the Gospel' George Oliphant and his numerous family in Errol - if so we are connected.

The only thing I have on the Oliphants is what is listed in my first post above .... The marriage to Robert Kettles. Maybe James McCabe from above has something on the Oliphants.

Looking for information on the death of the son in law of Robert Kettles (Robert married to Mary Oliphant). They had a daughter Elizabeth Kettles, who is my great grandmother. Elizabeth married Stewart Smith 23/12/1892 Kinfauns. Stewart was born 3/6/1862 Westmuir, Kerriemuir. He and Elizabeth had 4 children. Stewart remarried Mary McLean 18/1/1908, following Elizabeth Smith's (Née Kettle) early death. I have not been able to find the death of Stewart Smith after much searching. I know he was alive in 1920, as I have found him on the Forfarshire Valuation roll.
Thank you in advance.

Desidog; I do not have any further info on Eliz & Stewart other than what you have listed. My info on this family came from James McCabe, so maybe contact him.
