Hi Melsimba,

Thanks for your recent post. Senior moment - you're absolutely right regarding James Bannerman's second wife - it was Mary Chrichton(Rettie). I have her date of birth as 4th August 1832 though I can't recall where I got this information.

You have gone back as far as I have in the Bannerman line originating in Fraserburgh. I hope to visit this area some time in the not too distant future in the hope that locally held information might be available.

Regards

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info on Elizabeth Bannerman(Winchester). I've taken a copy of Death Certificate - can't understand how I didn't have this one before!

Hi Melsimba,

I'm interested in the details for Bathia Bannerman. I have her married to George Tough in 1902, but after then no information. Did they emigrate to Canada?

James Bannerman who you mentioned married Eliza Crichton in 1870 having previously been married to Eizabeth Winchester who possibly died around 1860 though I've not found her death record. James was a brother of my great grandfather William Bannerman and he was killed in a rock fall in a quarry on the outskirts of New Pitsligo!

Hi Stuartroxy,

With regard to Mary Shirran - she was married to James Donald in 1860 and they were both from Aberdeenshire. Her residence at time of marriage is given as Loop, Fyvie.

Hi Carole,

Thanks for your input. We had seen the census details before and eventually twigged that Cattie was Catherine - note Jinnie further down was eventually deciphered as Tinnie as in Christina!

Still can't find Catherine's birth details.

Hi Mitchell,

Hopefully you will pick up this comment as the bulk of the previous posts are in 2008! My family name is Bannerman and I can add some information on the children mentioned i.e. William and Mary - Jane. They were children of John and Barbara Bannerman. Barbara's maiden surname was Dawson presumably a sister of Elizabeth Dawson. John and Barbara were married 17th June 1858 - three months before the birth of William! John was a brother of William Bannerman - the one who was described as a landed proprietor in Ceylon. I note from your posts that you ascertained that he had returned to Ceylon. Can you remember how you established this?
A few months ago I was in Aberdeen and visited Jessiefield(mentioned in various posts) which was a farm on the outskirts of Aberdeen. Originally it was a piggery but the present tenant runs it as a storage facility mostly. I took some pictures if that would be of interest.

Stirlingshire / Catherine Gillespie - 1890
« on: Monday 11 October 10 23:03 BST (UK)  »
My wife's grandfather Francis Binnie Spiers was married to Catherine Gillespie in April 1905. Her age on the marriage cert was given as 23 yet when she died in 1939 in Larbert Asylum her age was given as 49 suggesting that she was born in 1890 or thereabouts. Despite a visit to Register House we have been unable to trace her birth details - possibly in the Denny area. Her parents were Alexander Gillespie and Catherine(MS Anthony). Can anybody help?

I am compiling a family tree which includes a brother of my grandfather called Charles Bannerman. His death in 1949 was notified by his son A.J. Bannerman whose address was given as Marlborough Hotel , Douglas IOM. Charles lived in Aberdeen and if anybody has any information on his son living, marrying or dying on the IOM circa 1949 onwards I would be grateful for any details.

Hi,

I've recently registered on this site and the first item I opened as a trial was your post from a few weeks back. What attracted my attention was the Shirran name - I have Mary Shirran as a great grandmother with parents Andrew and Elizabeth(MS Murray) - any connection with your Shirran?

Regards
