I'm so sorry Rachel to hear this sad news of your dad. I was also helped by him in finding my ancestors in Leicestershire. He gave his time and knowledge freely. My thoughts are withthe family

Hi Sojar,

Have you tried Scotlands People? Thats the best place to start. You have to buy credits to view certificates. All the best.

Hi,

I don't know if you are on Facebook, but there is a page called "Peterhead When You Were A Kid". It has loads of photos of Peterhead from through the years. I'm not sure if you have to be invited on, or if you can just join the page, but there is lots of photos of Buchanhaven. I'm sure someone on there will be able to tell you whats happened to Number 39 High St.

OOps sorry about that............ i did a quick google on your George Greig, and it looks like he is on a family tree on A******y. His fathers name is listed as William! and mother as Margaret Webster. Have a look and see, but it all fits in.

Aberdeenshire / Re: Gravestone inscriptions
« on: Sunday 12 August 12 20:03 BST (UK)  »
Thanks FLST and Malky. It does look as if it means two people were buried side by side ( 2 breadths ahead), although its not a dead cert (pardon the pun). The stones were very old, late 1700's, to early 1800's.

Aberdeenshire / Gravestone inscriptions
« on: Sunday 12 August 12 10:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi, i wonder if anyone can help. I walked round the St Peters cemetery in Peterhead yesterday, and there is loads of old gravestones. Quite a few had the inscription " 2 breadths ahead" or " 3 breadths ahead", at the bottom of the stone. What does this mean. Would it be a religious thing?

Thanks
Anne

The Common Room / Re: Mary Marr Pickard
« on: Tuesday 06 December 11 00:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Jill, i forgot to say that Mary is buried at Grove Cemetery in Aberdeen. I went there in the summer to see if she had a gravestone, but unfortunately she is in common ground. Her name was written down wrongly as well. They had her as Martha instead of Mary.

Her married name was Duncan, she eventually married George Leiper Duncan i think in 1918 (i would have to check the certificate), and she died in 1925 in Aberdeen from a heart attack.

 Mary had a daughter Georgina, who was my granny, but she died suddenly when my dad was only 2/3 years old. My dad was living with Mary until her death in 1925.

What side of the family are you from? . Hope to hear from you


Anne
