Thank you Pauline, I am delighted to hear from you!
I had thought that my granny may have had a different Dad so thank you for knowing his name and the dates that you provided for my great granny as well. I think that my granny must had died during the 1950's I wasn't born until the 1960's so was sad that I had not met her. My Dad was the youngest of Elizabeth's 5 children

I was also really interested to hear about your grandparents and them moving to England. Dad may not have kept in touch with all his cousins (must have been a large family)

Jimmy Wilson married Margaret Skinner and she was very instrumental in keeping the Tough/Wilson family tree, she would make visits into Aberdeen to the records department and I know had done quite well with her research. I may try to contact her children my second cousins to see what information she may have left with them. They would still be in Scotland around Oldmeldrum area.

It would also be great to continue the research and thank you for letting me know about the other site and I would greatly appreciate being able to connect the other sisters through your tree.

Thank you
Eleanor M

Hello Tough relatives

I happened to be looking for my mum's grandparents and during this search discovered  this photo of my dad's mum (Robert Wilson Mortimer), I am the granddaughter of Elizabeth McBain Tough. I also have the same photograph. I never met Granny Mortimer, Elizabeth married James Mortimer and they lived in Pitcaple.
I would be interested to know more about my granny. My mum is still alive but her memories are fading, she used to visit Granny Mortimer in Auld Rayne if I remember correctly. As a child I used to visit with the son of Helen or Isabella, I am not sure which one. His name was Jimmy Wilson, of South Blackbog Oldmeldrum. i now live in Canada so not sure if any of these relatives are still alive Jimmy sadly died many years ago when I was about 10 years old.
Would be nice to connect with any of the Tough Sister siblings (Cousins) i know my dad talked about Auntie Annie and I think one sister had polio.
Thank you
Eleanor
