Can you send me a copy of that death certificate please. I ask because I am keen to investigate further my belief that the surname Cargie may be a misinterpretation of the surname Scorgie.


There are many instances of errors being made or assumptions by Parish officials when recording deaths, births marriages. Many of the rural population were illiterate and many spoke in a strong dialect.


If indeed Scorgie is the correct surname and not Cargie that would clear some things up and enable me to find graves and more.


Scorgie is a common surname in Kincardineshire.

I have had a look and can find nothing more to add to your search.


Except a small and perhaps insignificant find for the name Ann Jolly.

if you enter the surname FINDLAY and select BIRSE as the burial ground you'll see Ann Jolly mentioned.


Good luck in your quest for answers.

I did a search using a well know search engine, don't want to use the name because I might be violating copyright or something, entered your mans name and found this.

I don't know if you are aware of this, it was dated 2006, from ancestry forum. There is more, if you want the contact details mail me or do the search yourself.

I also have been researching for years the possibility of a connection between a young Jacobite rebel named William or John Beverly who was transported to Oxford, MD, in 1747. It is curious that Herman Husband's home was in the next county of MD at that time and that Husband migrated to
NC in about 1750. If William/John Beverly was bought as an indentured servant, which most of the Jacobite rebel prisoners were, by Herman Husband or by the Husband family, the seven-year indenture typical would have expired in 1754, just about the time a John Beverly first appears in Orange County, NC. Could Husband have brought Beverly to NC from MD until his indenture
was over? Interesting possibility, but no proof - yet.

Thanks everyone, I managed to find them in St Peters cemetery. Lots of Maitlands.
