Perthshire / Re: Lookup GREYFRIARS CEMETERY PERTH - MURIE
« on: Saturday 04 January 14 19:01 GMT (UK)  »
From SP:

George Muirie(note spelling) and Lillias Taylor had William Muirie in Perth in 1802.
Second son of William Murie and Helen Donald  was born George Murie in Dundee in 1837.

Seems a reasonable fit

Two items of information from SP:
1)Death cert of Winifred Smith 7/3/1946 daughter of Henry Smith and Elizabeth Rooney or McKay of 34 Meal Vennel Perth,and
2)Death cert of Elizabeth Smith died 1974, aged 61, Martha Street Glasgow.Other names Rankin, Rooney.

Access to the latter cert is restricted so you will need to send away for it.

Hope this helps

Wicklow / Aghowle(Aghold) Church
« on: Thursday 14 March 13 12:37 GMT (UK)  »
I understand that within the walls of the ancient but now ruined Aghowle Church there was an area reserved for burials of the Nickson family of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Can anyone advise me if there is a memorial or gravestones there and are there any transcriptions available?
I have the transcriptions of the later Aghold St Michaels Church Register 1720 onwards, microfilmed by IGI, although there are significant gaps.

Perthshire / Re: Fisher and Craigie, where's Peter

I think having accepted the info in the death certificate I would look in the Kirk Session Records for Monzie, Muthill and probably Tibbermore.Sometimes events are recorded there which aren't in the OPRs and if the family was on poor relief then that's where they will be.
The Session Records are on the electronic terminals at the National Archives in Edinburgh.Not sure if they are available elsewhere.Perhaps someone else on here can advise.
In passing is there a connection to the Fisher/Robertson couple in Tibbermore?Married 1816.
Have you looked at every Fisher family in Perthshire in the 18th century with a John and Peter(Patrick) in it.Sometimes missing a generation gives a clear pointer to the family you are looking for.

Not sure why you can't accept what we understand about Scottish Social History.
The poor did not necessarily register their marriages or their children with the local Minister.It cost them money!
I think the evidence in the death certificate is self consistent.If you can't accept it then so be it.RIP

Perthshire / Re: Gaudy/Goudi/Gowdey House, Crieff - Evacuation during WWII

Gowrie House?
Valuation Rolls at Perth Archives or online at Ancestry may give a clue as to who was there and what it was being used for during the war.The Archives may have some evacuation records or at least know if such exist.

As a point of interest why are you discounting what was on his death certificate?Who was the provider of info/witness?
Having now looked at the document I see he is shown as born in Monzie.I can also see the naming convention for the children were a fairly conventional first two paternal grandparents  then the maternal grandmother then the mother then the maternal grandfather then the father.Informant was the son in law.
I would think the Monzie birth wasn't recorded.Not unusual for the period.
I assume you have the details of his Muthill marriage?

Patrick and Peter were interchangeable in gaelic speaking areas. :)
