Kincardineshire / Re: LEES, Alexander and McKECHNIE, Isabella, Stonehaven and Skateraw

It is quite a while since I last signed in to RootsChat and I just happened to find your interest in contacting living relatives.  Alexander Lees (Sailor's Alex) was my grandfather's cousin and his second wife was my grandmother's sister.  If you are still interested, perhaps we could get in touch.

From the register of the Episcopal Chapel in Stonehaven:

Meness: March 25 1779 Mr Meness Mnr of Chapel had a Daughter baptised named Catherine.

From the register it appears that Catherine had a lot of siblings starting with Jean born 6 July 1759
and Robert a year later

Baptismal Register of St James's Episcopal Church in Stonehaven has this entry for 2 October 1838:

Hogg: James had a son baptised John. Witnesses John (illegible but may begin with L) and John Hogg

I could not find an entry for baptism of James

Fife / Re: From Cellardyke to Australian Gold Diggings
« on: Sunday 04 December 11 19:32 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to Harry for the information.

My interest is in Alexander Melville who was, I believe, son of the David Melville mentioned in your book as being in charge of the fog cannon in Cellardyke.

I seem to have hit a dead end with this one.

« on: Sunday 05 April 09 00:52 BST (UK)  »
In 1852, sixteen men from Cellardyke are reported to have set out to dig for gold in Australia.  Does anyone have information about what happened to them?

Thet were Thomas Watson, David Rodger, David Murray, David Birrell, David Brown, John Smith, James Cunningham, Leslie Barclay, George and Alexander Fowler, James Davidson, David Wilson, William Doig, Alexander Melville, William Black and James Sharp.

The Register of St James's Episcopal Church in Stonehaven shows the marriage on 31 Mar 1776 of James Freeman and Anne Taylor of Auquherie.

Auquherie is a farm a couple of miles west of Stonehaven.
