Ross & Cromarty / Re: Jack family in Avoch
« on: Sunday 31 October 10 19:48 GMT (UK)  »
Annie cowie (1898) was from buckie, I can't remember the exact time lines but before cowie came smiths and williams.  There was a French name in there, that began with P but I can't remember exactly, I've mislaid the family tree I managed to make.

My grandma was Betty Jack, married to Donald Jack (from avoch).  I know this is a very late reply but thought I would just mention it.

If I remember rightly, the older church grounds were over crowded and people were buried without headstones.

My grandpa used to say that the poorer familes would sneak in pre-1900's and bury their passed family members without being seen.

   My Great Grandparents were David Jack and Annie Cowie. Annie died around 1952. David, I think, died prior to 1933. I don't know how many children they had but I do know their eldest was David. There was also a Bill, Donald and Margaret.Margaret was my Father's { Vincent Jack born 1933} mother.
    My father was raised by Annie Cowie and they lived on Factory Lane.
          That is about as much as I know so far.Thank you Torrygirl.                   




Coooeyyyy over here.................my mum, dad and bro came out to see you guys around 2006 time!  Although we have never met  ;D

Uncle Vincent used to take me and grandpa (donald) up on a golfing range that over looked the sea, before he went back out to Australia.

Always reminded me of sean connery  ;D

Thankyou whisperer, I am ever so grateful.

Those 2 added names are my late grandparents.  They were cremated in Berkshire, UK and my parents traveled up to Avoch and had their ashes burried with my grandpa's ma and pa.

This is the 1st time I have seen my grandparent's memorial stone, means a lot to me.

Miss them dearly xx

p.s. isn't it strange how you always though a grandparent's name was spelt one way and you find out it was a total diff spelling.

I have a photo of the gravestone of Ann Cowie Jack and David Jack from Avoch Old Churchyard. As there are some recent names added to the stone I dont want to post it here but if you pm me your email address I will send a copy of if you would like one.


My grandpa was Donald Jack, born in Avoch 1920, his mother was Anne Cowie (from peterhead/buckie) and David Jack (from Avoch).  He joined the royal navy at the age of 14 and in the late 40's, moved to London.  Married Betty Donaghue, from S.ireland.

That gravestone is my great grandma and grandpa, would I be able to get a copy of the photo, please?
