Ross & Cromarty / Re: Place Names in the Black Isle

I'm late to the party. My gggrandfather James Matheson was born in 1810 at Balnacraich it looks like, to John Matheson and Janet Munro. Having visited years ago, it would have been between Culbokie and the firth, less than a mile from Culbokie. In the same list of births in 1810, there's a Becky (Elizabeth?) Fowler, born at Braes of Findon- very nearby. The poor kid was described as being an adultrous bastard of Andrew Fowler and Becky Kemp

The John Husband mentioned, was born in Leuchars parish in 1670 marrying Janet Black at Leuchars in 1707. John's parents were David Husband, born Leuchars 1651, and Agnes Anderson born about 1653. I've got their marriage in Leuchars as about 1667- would make them very young, but possible. His parents I have as Alexander Husband, born Ceres in 1629 and Agnes Watsone born about1633. They married at Ceres on 20th July 1649. In turn he is the son of john Husband, born about1610, and Janet Bandie. They married Ceres, about1627.
These are the ancestors of the offsprings of William Husband and Elizabeth Bisset, who married in Leuchars on 30th November, 1764. I'm descended from their daughter Catherine, born 1778

Hello Elaine
I'm not really familiar with this site, but was a member years ago. Very recently I've been in touch with two people on another site, and mention the Husband chat here. The beauty of the Husbands in Fife is that there were very few of them, centred around Leuchars, St. Andrews and St.Leonards, plus Ceres parishes. The people I've been in touch with were descendants of John Husband born Leuchars parish, 1780, a brother of my Catherine. Trying to go further back, the earliest Fife Husband was a marriage of Janet Husband to Thomas Dairsie in Anstruther Wester in 1591. I don't think that all births and marriages could have been registered then, and no deaths are recorded. Before 1650 there are only 4 Fife Husband marriages, and I think 9 births recorded, there are 2 in Ceres in 1621 and 1623. There's also a family in St.Andrews and St. Leonards parish with 5 registered kids. The parents were Thomas Husband and Agnes Mathew, one child was Elizabeth, born 1639.
I thought to access 2 early Husband wills today, one was William Husband, Leuchars 1616, the other was a tailor in St Andrews 1606. The 1616 will was in such archaic script that its unreadable. Originally I questioned whether it was Latin, so I haven't bothered with the other.
Is the Elizabeth you're looking at Elizabeth Bisset? I'm sure I haven't been able to read all the Husband posts, but it hadn't twigged when watching the Ann Reid programme about her ancestor in Logie that she had a Husband connection. I recall being unhappy watching it, thinking of her idiot, criminal, supposed schoolmaster, teaching my Brunton ancestors at the time.
I grew up in Fife, and would cycle to Lindores Loch from Markinch to fish, or sometimes watch them curling on the frozen loch. What a lovely part of the country your in..............Dave

Hello
I've recently found my ancestor Catherine Husband born 1778 in the parish of Leuchars, Fife. She married  James Dewar in Leuchars 1805 and had 10 children in Leuchars and Kilmany Parishes. Very recently I've corresponded with another ancestor of William Husband and Elizabeth Bisset's children. They go back to John, born 1780. So it looks like Robert is another sibling. I'm waiting for an update on the Husband tree, going back to the early 1600's

My ancestor James Matheson was born in that parish in 1810, very close to the small vilage of Culbokie. His birthplace would have been a croft, down as variously Balnacrach and Balnacarach. Inverness library have brilliant geneologists, they can refer to old 5 inch to the mile maps for croft names

Fife / Re: Dunn + Brunton + Mill + Lumsden @ Cupar/Ceres/Creich, Fife (1800s->)

Hello, I can help. My Grandmother, Isabella Brunton was born 1872, the family home was in Chance Inn, a tiny hamlet in Ceres parish. Her father was William Brunton, born 1838 and mother Janet Matheson, Born St. Andrews 1843, Died Anstruther at her Daughter Barbara's in 1933. Her father was James Matheson, born in the Black Isle, Ross and Cromarty 1810. He was married to Barbara Lumsden, Strathkinnes, born about 1823, died chance Inn, Ceres 1907. The 1851 census gives them back crofting in the Black Isle for a time. There's a lot more, but that gives the Brunton/ Lumsden connection.
