World War Two / Re: Connections with the crew??

Pretty sure the lady in this youtube video is Arthur Leonard Kent’s mother. His nephew is the one who posted it I think.

Aberdeenshire / Re: Noble family Aberdeen to Kitchener Ontario 1920s

I am in touch with Margaret via Ancestry, and yourself already. Also another descendant in Canada you have recently been in touch with I believe? Since starting this thread I have quite a bit more detail which I am preparing to send you and Kevin. A lot has been added on our Ancestry trees fairly recently. I should add that I was mistaken in the Birmingham connection for Jonathan Noble’s daughter with Isabella Walker Mitchell, they stayed in Aberdeen.
Best regards

Hi Ann

Just adding to my tree to help follow all the Donald and Roberts! If I am understanding correctly, your Grandmother would be Elizabeth Denny?

Hi Ann
Great to hear from you. I've had another post about the Seatons and Moons sitting in draft for a few weeks now but got sidetracked by present day family stuff! It does sound we might have a connection. I think I have matched on Ancestry with a descendant of Donald Wylie Seaton, Donald's son, though they hadn't done too much as yet on that branch when I messaged them. Looks like that family show up in Northern England and Northern Ireland before getting to the US? Easter Rhynd would be very near my family who had moved to Errol.

Is it the FamilyTreeDNA your brother has done? I have uploaded my raw DNA data to GEDmatch, think he can do the same? We would then be able to compare. It was quite easy but now I feel like I need a Masters in genetics! Think I will scroll through the forum about it on here.

I'll PM you if that's ok? I can always update findings that might be useful to others in due course.
Kind Regards
Nicola

Thank you for that, I stopped at the Ancestry record I was lucky enough to find.

I found my Gt Grandfather's Pension record on Ancestry? Does the WFA have something different?

Thank you, yes I have 6 children for Cicel Setton and Donald Moon. I had been having a nose round the maps and place names and spotted that variation, I'll go back with that in mind. Anything on Balrobie would be great. I've a bit more reading up to do on record sources. I note previous mention of tenant records in Blair Castle archives and looking at their website it seems they do some basic searching if you can give them some details to go on?

I MIGHT be a bit clearer on my Moons. I think Duncan Moon of Bailnurain/Baluarain may have married twice, firstly to C/Katherine also Moon in Jan 1761, children between 1761 and 1776, last child (my?) Donald appears to be born a few months before his father perhaps marries again to K/Catherine Cree in Nov 1776 then more children with her. 3 Johns between both but not unusual with infant death? There are quite a few Donald Moons about though.

Very interested to see this thread. I have only recently started trying to look into my Setton (Seaton) line from Blair Atholl and came across the borenich site which is certainly helpful and which I will explore further. It appears I should take Setton/Seton/Seaton as being interchangeable? My 4xGt Grandmother was Cecil/Cicel Setton of Pitdorny, Dull who married Donald Moon of Wester Balrobie, Blair Atholl in 1797. I am trying to figure out the parents on both sides, a possible sister Mary Setton (also listed at Pitdorny) married George Stewart in 1797. The Moon name seems quite common in the area too, I am trying to sort out the different households in my head and it is hurting!  Cicel Setton and Donald Moon's daughter Christian Moon married a Logie in Little Dunkeld and moved down river to Errol in the 1850s where many of their descendants still live. A sister Margaret Moon married an Alexander Seaton at Moulin and I have matched with a descendant of theirs on Ancestry DNA. Looks like she died young and he remarried.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Nicola
