Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: ballater or tarland
« on: Thursday 26 October 23 14:35 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all the information about our mutual distant relatives. I started looking into Granny's side of the family in 2020. I think Alexander was Frances' son but from a relationship before she married James. His first wife died relatively young. Frances was his second wife.
All Lily's siblings did emigrate to Canada including her sister. She had a younger sister Connie but she died as a baby and Granny did speak about baby Connie.
No mention was ever made of the cause of James Peters death. I wonder why he did take his own life?
It will be great to see the photo, thanks, Ann

Hi Vicki,
No, Ethel was never mentioned by my Granny when she was alive but she died in 1987 so quite a while ago.
I did some research myself & found Ethel's signature on my Great grandfather's death certificate so she must've been living with them near Tarland when he died.
Then she married and was Ethel McBain and lived near Oban? Is that correct?
Lovely to hear from you.
My Dad was James Edward Smith. Brother to Mary and Lilly.

Hi Vickik78,

I'm local to Ballater. I think I'm part of the family you were looking for.
My grandmother was Lily Smith( Peters)

I'd love to hear from you about your research.

Ann
