Kincardineshire / Re: Bervie graveyard
« on: Tuesday 18 December 12 22:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi Carolyn - George Anderson and his wife (Mrs George Anderson) are recorded in the Register of Interments, which seems to have been kept by the gravediggers, in the years you said, but there is no headstone, sorry. What a comprehensive booklet Isles produced - and his knowledge of the history of Bervie was immense.
Let me know if you want any other names looked up.

Hi - I have a copy of the document you need. It was given to me by Isles Burness, who recorded the old Bervie cemetery with Sandy Couper. (Both now passed away). I don't have the photographs they took. These are lodged in an album in the Inverbervie Library.
Happy to look for the names you want, but will not be able to do so immediately - too many other commitments at his time, but could hopefully look it up by the end of the year!!!
Bervie Library only opens a few hours a week, so if you can't get info from there, let me know. Last I heard, Sandy Couper's daughter is the librarian.

Foggyman-
I think I replied to this posting AGES ago! Just found some of my notes tonight. Anything else may have been in emails from my cousin.
You have -
John Mearns McBay, b 1877, died ?, wife Helen Mackie Blues, parents: John Mearns Jnr.McBay and Christina Alexander
I have -
John Mearns Mcbay(b1877) m Helen Mackie Blues 24.10.1902
They had a son - John Mearns McBay b 18.11.1909
Helen Mackie Blues died 4.1.1910
John Mearns McBay (b1877) then married Mary Cargill (widow of George Milne) 21.10 1921 at Gourdon. I don't think they had any children, but Mary Cargill had two daughters - one married my uncle. My cousin remembers John Mearns McBay, her 'Deddy' - that's Gourdon/Gurden speak for grandfather!

Hi foggyman-
I recognise this photo!
I was sent it by a rootschatter who has sadly since died. i sent it on to my cousin, as one of the McBay's in it was her grandfather.
I'll need to dig out my notes, to familiarise myself with the names - not my line, but my cousin's.
Will be in touch later.

It is the same Reids. My fault for replying before checking the names from notes.
Yes, Mary was the mother of Jean Forbes. I've never found much about Jean, apart from all the info from 1855. Its a few years now since I looked into the Reid side.

Was alexander glen b 1827 m Agnes Reid?
I saw you were looking into William Reid in another post, but I think it was completed by the time I replied.
My line is Mary Reid, sister of Agnes.
