I am researching the Reid family who lived on the Aldie Estate, Fossoway. Also maybe the Oswald family and Robertson family all related somehow.
Did you manage to find out any information in your research of the ancestry that lived at Aldie.

I have a John Reid married to Grizel Robertson
Had three children
Henry 11.10.1793 to 02.04.1806
James 05.04.1796 to 01.08.1823
John 04.06.1798 to 02.04.1880 - he Married Ann Archibald Born 21.04.1809 Died 12.03.1881

The Father and three children all buried at Fossoway Churchyard.
Father (John) has his date of death as 02.04.1801 on gravestone but can not find his birth or his marriage.

Does any of this fit in with your research?

From Old Parish Registers I have found:-

Death - 19th December 1760
Grizel Oswald at Backside of Aldie

Death - 13th January 1752
Grizel Robertson - Grand-daughter of Grizel Oswald at Backside of Aldie

I feel sure these must be connected in someway to my research, but not sure where and at the moment can not find anymore info.

If one has a WILL that is not very easy to ready, how can one go about getting it transcribed. Felt sure you would know the answer.

Thanks

I am  struggling to find John Reid married to Grizel Robertson
The birth certificates of the three children all born in Fossoway confirm the dates and the parents as John Reid and Grizel Robertson
and the grave inscription and ages at Fossoway churchyard match up with birth/death dates
- Henry 11.10.1793 to 02.04.1806
- James 05.04.1796 to 01.08.1823
- John 04.06.1798 to 02.04.1880

John the Father was born about 1759 and died 02.04.1801 (as per grave inscription at our local churchyard. He died aged 42.

Can not find John's birth or  his parents, or indeed John and Grizel's wedding for it to fit in with the dates of the children being born.

I know there is a Reid in Longierat, Perth, Scotland married to a Robertson and had children but they do not fit in with the dates above. But may be a distant relation.

I will have a look at Mary's info.

I am a little stuck on John Reid married to Grizel Robertson
The birth certificates of the three children all born in Fossoway seem correct.
- Henry 11.10.1793 to 02.04.1806
- James 05.04.1796 to 01.08.1823
- John 04.06.1798 to 02.04.1880

John the Father was born about 1759 and died 02.04.1801 (as per grave inscription at our local churchyard. He died aged 42. But no mention of Grizel Robertson on headstone, But then again children were all very young at his death.

Can not find John's birth or  his parents, or indeed John and Grizel's wedding for it to fit in with the dates of the children being born.


Trouble is Reid is a very common name in this area, so I could be barking up the wrong tree.

Think the Robertson at Logierait, perthshire may be connected, but can not quite them into the picture yet and confirm with dates.

Also can not find marriage of John Reid and Ann Archibald.

I'll check John Reid's baptism and see if his mother is listed.

Yes it is an inscription at our local churchyard
Thanks again

Monica you are a star.
The John Reid I had as date of death 1871 is the one you found died 2nd April 1880.
His Will mentions his eldest son John farming at Hilton of Aldie, his second son living with him and on a shared farm tenancy at Ingrie, near Lesley, Fife. his wife Ann Archibald and daughter Grace.

His death certificate states his Father as John Reid and Mother as Mary Reid  M. SI Robertson, so maybe the John Reid's  wife was not Grizel Robertson and I am going down the wrong road. 

Many thanks for all your help.
