Good to hear that, Jill!

Margaret Duthie and John Sheret had several children: William Duthie 1869-1948, Mary 1870-1871, Margaret 1872-1934, Agnes Craig 1877-1942, Ellen Elizabeth 1879-1900, Edward 1881-1943, Joan 1883-1953, James 1886-1915, and Isabella 1886-1976. The last of these, Isabella, emigrated to Canada.

Best wishes,
Gordon

Hello Jill. Thanks for your welcome and for getting in touch.

So very many Sherets and Duthies, and  such a small selection of names they were prepared to call their children!

The Margaret Duthie in my line was born 10 Nov 1848 at South Balmakelly, Marykirk, and died 7 May 1925 at Nether Baulk, Fetteresso. Her husband was John Sheret, who was born 27 Jul 1843 in Fordoun (as per 259/40 328 of Fordoun registers), and died 26 Sep 1901 at Nether Baulk, Fetteresso. They were married 2 Dec 1868 at the Mill of Luther, Marykirk (as per 265/13 of Marykirk Registers).

One of their children, Agnes Craig Sheret is my maternal grandmother and was born 20 Apr 1887, at Balmaleedie Farm House in Marykirk, and died 23 Sept 1942 at 30 Damacre Road, Brechin, and was married to William Martin Glen.

I do hope that these details are helpful!

Gordon

Hello Jean,
I was born in Brechin, and my 3rd great-grandfather is Robert Duthie, 1769 - 1845 (via Sheret  and Glen). I think that he and his wife were buried at Benholm Kirkyard. I wonder if their grave is one you've come across, or perhaps of his father and mother? Any information would be gladly received.
Best wishes,
Gordon Stewart
