Bruce 1746 are you related to an Agnes Maltman? Herring Queen in 1955?

Hi Karen, I couldn't tell you if I'm related to Agnes to be honest. My G-G-Grandfather William Maltman (his father drowned on the 'Guiding Star') moved from Eyemouth to Fraserburgh somtime at the end 1800's, there is possibly a connection with Agnes somewhere down the line.

family name Fisher - I believe Thomas was on board the Guiding Star reg in Eyemouth.  He would have left a family behind.

Scotland / Re: Scottish ancestors at Battle of Worcester 1651?

Hi Sean,
   I've only traced my ancestor (James Cardno) back this week, mainly using Ancestry.com & trawling websites about the Cardno family. I haven't read the 'Christian Watt Papers' yet but will do as she mentions 'Nobles of Broadsea' to which I also have ancestors.
The info. I found about James Cardno can be found on the following     http://www.fraserchief.co.uk/history.html#saltoun  . Pretty interesting stuff, now I just need to find out about my other ancestors who fought at Trafalgar & Culloden   :)

Below is the protrait of the said James Cardno, servant to 11th Lord Saltoun.

If you believe the lineage contained within The Christian Watt Papers, then one of my ancestors was there.

My greatx11 grandfather, Alexander Fraser (1604-93) (11th Lord Saltoun, 10th Laird of Philorth), fought at the battle. He was said to have been wounded and escaped thanks to the aid of his manservant who took him back to the safety of the North.

He would be the only ancestor I know of, assuming that the lineage is correct (and I have very little reason to doubt it).

Hi, I am new to Rootschat & came across this post. I have recently traced an ancetsor on my fathers side, James Cardno (Born in1620) who was servant to 11th Lord Saltoun. It is said that out of 800 men these two are the only ones that returned home to the NE of Scotland. I came across this on a website:-

The 10th laird, later 10th (now 11th) Lord Saltoun, was severely wounded at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, but survived, thanks to his servant, James Cardno, who rescued him from the battlefield, hid him and nursed him, and got him home to Fraserburgh.

James Cardno's portrait is said to hang in Cairnbulg Castle, present seat of the Chief of Clan Fraser.
