Hi, I realise this is an old thread but just thought I'd add in my wee bit.

Connected to the Cabrach through Jane/Jean Taylor (born @ Fordownan 1808), sister of the aforementioned MacDuff Taylor. Her grandparents George Taylor and Isabella Kelman were married in the Cabrach in 1777

Hi, I'm looking for help with  the entry on this form please. It's the top entry for Helen Hay and I'm trying to make out her mother's name. It looks to me like Sarah Nielsted but that surname pretty much draws a blank everywhere so I think I'm wrong. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi, I'm just struggling with one word from this entry straight after Roderick Fraser, presumably an abbreviation of Roderick's employment, I just can't figure it out!
Many thanks

Hi Neil,

I'm interested in finding out more about your ancestor Ann Davidson from Petty who married Donald Smith. I have her dying in Rockfield, Tarbat in 1864 age 60. Her death certificate lists father as Alex Davidson, mother unknown but I can't find any further links.

There is an Ann Davidson born to Wm Davidson and Janet Anderson in Petty 1804 which would tie in with the dates I have. Can you shed any light on it?
Thanks
Donald

Hi Dav,

I just noticed your last posting and many of my ancestors are from the Fisherton Petty area (surnames Cameron, Tolmie, Patience, McIntosh).   The Janet Cameron in your post caught my eye.  I also have a Janet Cameron, b1767 in Petty with parents David Cameron and Ann McKenzie.  Does this match your Janet?

I also have many Davidson's in my tree, but only one seems to have been born in Petty, Ann Davidson who married Donald Smith in Petty in 1827. All of my other Davidsons are from Croy (the parish next to Petty) and Moy, also very close to Petty.

Neil
