East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: MI's

Hi again,

I have looked on all the East Lothian MI's and can find no trace of your Andrew, I am sorry to be of so little help, I have found a Redpath MI in Innerwick, Spott, Stenton, Whittinghame and Yester but they are mainly wives.  I did find an Alexander Redpath burying his father in 1801 in Spott, but he is not your Andrew , wrong wife, Could he be a brother ?, Will send all the details if you want.  I also checked Dunbar, Dirlington, Westermost parishes, North Berwick and Berwickshire, also no luck.

Hi ajjbc,

Just got your post, I will look up MI tonight , but noticed one of your surnames is Algeo, I live in Wigtownshire and we have some Algeo's in the 18th century living here, I was wondering if they might be yours.

Hi Boston 14,

Could you be more specific on which Sansons and Dick(i)sons you are interested in.
I am doing a GOONS on the surname Sanson and have all the Scottish Sanson's researched and can tell any thing their is on any specific Sanson, as far as the Dicksons are concerned I have had a quick look and their are too many to list, however as you include the Dickison's I am surmising it might be Thomas Sanson and Margaret Dickison in Innerwick/Oldhamstocks you are interested in as I know from my research she is the only Dickison to be found in the records.  I think it started as a typo!,  their is no grave record for her I have been trying to find her for 20+ years. Also I know some of their family went to Boston.
Let me know who you are interested in and I will send all I have on their ancestry.

just a note , have this minute found Peter and Patrick are interchangeable in the highlands, so Patrick could be known as Peter to the family

Hi Angiemist, last update, gravestones
Rothiemurchus old ruined church and its walled graveyard are in the woods of the Doune estate on a slope leading down to the Spey, if you are able to access the map I sent you, you will see it near to Polchar, 3 grave stones of interest in front of the ruin 2 close together 1 slightly separate,

on its own, may be connected  Donald McBean Tacksman of Ballinchlaggan died 1808 age 70 his wife Grace Grant died 1802

together  Angus McBean Achnahatnich died 1864 age 76  wife Mary Grant died 1882 age 91,
also son James died 1858 age 30, dau Catherine died1867 age 2[6] son Donald died 1877.

next to it John McBean Farmer Achnahatnich died 1849 age 53 wife Isabella McBean died 1835 age 38 erected by son Lachlan 1852.

Above is the link to a map of the area paste it into your browser address bar and it should take you to it you should be able to zoom in and move around, the area with the 3 farms is in the bottom right quarter, the church for the area was in Duthil during the period you are interested in, I will look tonoght to see if I can find any trace of a grave stone. happy hunting

so the Rothimurchus family must be yours and the baptism of Peter has been lost, very few people were called Lewis in the area at that time, the chances of 2 angus mcbeans having boys called peter and lewis is astronomical so your Angus was son to John McBean and Margaret Stuart.Rest of the children
Angus 30 Sep 1787
Lachlan 24 Sep 1801
Isobel 10 Jul 1791
John9 Mar 1795
Marjory 22 Mar 1789
Patrick 24 Jan 1799
the children were born Achnahatnich, angus moved to Balchlaggan [now called Balvadden] had peter then moved to Polchar, all three places are on o.s.maps, you can see them on the nls website.
