Thanks Andy, I hadn't realized the thread was so old.

Banffshire / Re: Will do lookups various books

There is nothing in the 1851 census - however, I know there is a family (related to me actually) of Shiach which is gaelic for Shaw. Could your name be gaelic?
Hi Dorothy,
Your comment about having links to the surname Shiach caught my eye - my 4x great grandmother was Isobel Shiach (daughter of William Shiach and Margaret Farquhar), she was born in Elgin, Longbride, Morayshire 29/1/1761. She married William Anderson on 7/11/1786 and died 11/3/1854 at Logie, Gamrie, Banffshire.
I live in Ireland and had never heard of the surname prior to tracing back my ancestral line - I would have thought it uncommon but maybe that's not the case in Scotland?
Best,
Hazel

@Forfarian Many thanks for those fantastic map links. I too had the same question as @kittymama as I am following up family connections to same area. I live in Ireland and am only just getting to grasps with researching Scottish ancestry and your hints were most helpful. My 3x great grandmother, Elizabeth Anderson (daughter of William Anderson and Isabella Shiach) was living with her parents in Logie on 1841 census - her father William was a Crofter. She was at same address in 1851 and in 1861 was living with her daughter and son in law (Sophia and James Killoch) at Backhill of Logie. 1871 she lived in Dubford and by the time of her death on 26/11/1878, her address was given as Hill of Troup - her sister Isobel Burnett of Backhill of Overbrae King Edward was present when she died.

Hamish,
Wondering if you hold any further ancestral details of Darby Greally? Could his parents have been Henry Greally and Margaret Long?

Hi there,
My grandfather Johnston Morrison was from outside Ballysadare, which is near Collooney. He was born around 1861 (He was a Constable in the RIC) - I believe his father was Hugh Morrison and Hugh's father was also a Johnston Morrison. They were Chuch of Ireland.
If my research so far is correct Hugh Morrison married a Margaret Archey. After Margaret died, Hugh and the children moved to Yorkshire, England, where Hugh remarried a widow called Elizabeth Carlisle.
