Aberdeenshire / Re: Ann Slessor - more Old Deer Slessors...

Thanks for info on Old Macher and Meldrum. Old M is a place that crops up in  trees re the famous Mary Slessor and her mum came from Old Meldrum. Her father was Robert and Uncle was John. Am wondering if we are maybe cousins of this branch give  the place similarities? I must of course start  to do things properly now have had this helpful start!

Many thanks for info. I am just starting search so was keen to see if we were already in a tree. John Mutch Slessor is definitely him. Interesting news they moved around. Old Meldrum was mentioned by my Granny Ella - she lived to 101 1/2 in St Andrews. John died in WW1, Jeannie was a nurse who died in the flu epidemic. The other daughter must have died as a child. Nan and Sandy produced no offspring and so this Slessor line has died out. Off to search round and see what can find. Btw saw a thread somewhere that said Deer Slessors were rellies of Jobn Slezer the military architect and guard captain who came over from Germany or Holland and was a big shot at court til he went bust! He has a wikki entry. Thanks again.

Hi my great grandfather John Slessor
a baker died aged around 50 circa1903 in New Pitsligo. His son was John Slessor as per the war memorial. The family moved to Aberdeen after WW1 where Agnes - " Nan" became town clerk. Another son Sandy born c 1896 was a bank manager in Coupar Angus. My granny was Ella born 1901. Think John's wife was a Cathy. Interested to know where they fit into a family tree.
