Aberdeenshire / Re: Robertson/ Saint marriage
« on: Sunday 22 July 12 10:02 BST (UK) »
Did anyone manage to collect any information on the Alexander Smith who was a miller? It's just that my family came from around Cruden. My great great grandfather was Alexander Bruce Smith b. 1830 who was supposedly born in Turriff, as was his older brother George Rennie Smith. Their parents were Alexander B. Smith (Snr) (I presume the B. stood for Bruce) and Mary Ann Simpson. The parents were married in Cruden in 1828. Mary Ann was born in Cruden. I believe our Alexander (Snr) came from Cruden/Slains as well. Alexander (Snr) would have been born in 1806 and was a miller to. Just wondering if you had any information about Alexander Smith who was around 60 in the 1841 census. I am trying to find who A.B. Smith Snrs father was and would appreciate any information I can get. I also willingly share.

Hi, I have been looking at Genealogy names associated with the Slains/Cruden area and I noticed that your list of surnames have names on it which I am also looking at. They are Bruce, Simpson and Smith. My great great grandfather was Alexander Bruce Smith. His older brother was George Rennie Smith. They are said to have both been born in Aberdeenshire to parents Alexander B. Smith and Mary Ann (nee Simpson). They were married in Turriff in 1828. We know that Mary Ann was born to parents John Simpson and Jean Leggat in Cruden in 1807. We also know that Alexander B. Smith would have been born around 1806, but we do not know definitely if his second name was Bruce like that of his son. We also know that Mary Ann's older sister Margaret, married a George Rennie in the early 1800's so we know how George Rennie Smith got his name. Alexander Snr, George and Mary Ann all died in Tasmania. Alexander Jnr died here in NZ. Do you have information on Alexander B. Smith Snr and Mary Ann Simpson. I would really appreciate if you do have information letting me know. I'd be willing to share information I have to.
