I see all these records of Slessors around Cruden Bay and the area but would love to find someone with records of Rosie Slessor b 1897 in Aberdeen. She married a George Crammond b c1890. Or her father Andrew b 1849 in Old Deer, Aberdeen who married Mary Dunbar b 1858 in Laurencekirk.
Rosie gave birth to my father but his father was an unknown Canadian. She had a number of siblings, maybe six or seven including John, William, Laurence.

I believe the Slessors initially arrived in Scotland from Germany and became part of the Clan Gordon but my knowledge of my Scottish forefathers ends there and I would love to be able to fill in more details.

There are a number of famous Slessors besides Mary. There was an Air-Chief Marshal of the RAF, a Managing Director of Harrod's store in London, a BBC Producer and Australia has a famous poet with the name. Any more?

I have just joined today! So forgive any mistakes on my part.
Rose is my grandfather's sister. He was William. He married Jane (jean or Jeannie) Pirie and had my father William McLaren Slessor. They came to Canada in 1921 when Dad was 1.
I would love to connect with relatives of this arm of the Slessor's.

I'm also a wits end trying to find more about my grandmother Jane Pirie daughter of Andrew Pirie and Barbara Campbell
