Aberdeenshire / Re: Greig family Aberdeenshire connected with Edvard Grieg composer

My connections with Edvard grieg are as follows:
John Grig (1702) married Anne Milne (1704) they had at least two sons Alexander 1739 (Emigrated to Norway) and John Grig (1742)  had a son Robert Greig (1763) married Rachel Davidson
had a daughter Mary Greig (1789) married William Hutchen had a son James Hutcheon (1825) married Janet Keith (1825)
had a son James Hutchison (1861) married Annie Gibb Johnstone had a son Andrew Johnstone Hutchison 1887 (My grandfather on the maternal side) Nearly all these births and marriage took place in and around Crimond, Aberdeenshire.

let me state that I have not sighted official records for all of this
but todate it seems to fit!  I will only claim it  when I have checked it all out as best I can.

Lesley,

I am not sure but I have found a marriage of a John Grig to Elspet Scott (1761 at Monquitter) the date would be about right.
I certainly would be interested in any help I could get.  Most of my folks were from around, Peterhead, Cruden Bay, Crimond, Rathen, Inverallochy. If you check Tribalpages.com under noremac you will see the names etc.  I emigrated from Nairn 1964, born Aberdeen

Cheers  Don

G'day! Leslie

I have ancestors named Greig whom I believe are connected with Edvard Grieg. I have thought this for sometime but as I am an amateur in this game I had never made the connection.   After seeing your request, I did a bit of work last night and I believe that I have made the connection ( not confirmed). John and Anna Grig had a son Alexander 1739 and a son John 1742. John's son Robert(Crimond) 1763 wife Rachel had a daughter Mary Greig(Crimond 1789) who married William Hutchen(1825) my ggg/grandfather.    Crimond/Lonmay & Rathen are all very close.

Let me know if you make a connection.  The locations and dates fit very well.
