Banffshire / Re: Isabella Anderson of Gamrie. A very complicated lady!
« on: Wednesday 29 April 20 23:43 BST (UK) »
Hi I have read the details here with interest. I am trying to research my possibly 4th Gt grandfather Francs Anderson who farmed at Haddoleys in Gamrie. I believe he had a child with Helen Howat. The child was Sarah Anderson b.c. 1837. Francis Anderson: I think this may be Sarah Anderson's father but I cannot find a record of any marriage between him and Helen Howat, who I believe to be Sarah's mother. There seems to be a link to the Massie family in Gamrie. Francis Anderson married Isabel Massie in 1824.
On Sarah Anderson's marriage cert it states Fa: Francis Anderson - farm servant (deceased) which would fit with his date of death. The cert also states Mo: Helen Anderson (nee Howat) Struggling to work this out.
However, Sarah's residence in 1851 is 1851 • Gamrie, Banffshire, Scotland
House servant living with James Massie and Jean Kiloch (Killock?). Elizabeth Anderson is recorded as lodger not servant which implies she was related to James Massie (poss daughter of his sister Isabel)? The Massie/ Anderson/ Bruce families in this area do seem to be closely entwined! If anyone can shed any light that would be fantastic. Many thanks
