flst, took your advice and contacted Aberdeen Archives, almost a dead end I am afraid, her application for poor relief describes her as widow Rennie no details of her husband or when she became a widow, only details of the children and the relief she receiving
Definitely receiving relief in 1857 but notes attached which indicate she received some casual relief prior to this.
The last entry is for 1870 when her relief was reduced due to her being partially supported by her family.
All very interesting but no closer to finding James Rannie- Rennie his daughter
Elizabeth born 1851 and John Much Marys illegitimate son born 1853 or54
James must have died in that three to four year period, but can find nothing on Scotlands people that fits.
Any ideas please on where I go from here, very disappointed as I thought the poor relief records might give me the information I wanted.
