Aberdeenshire / Re: Aberdeen Industrial School Skene Square
« on: Wednesday 18 March 09 20:15 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for all that - part of my reason for thinking something must have caused him to be there is that he had a lot of family around to look after him (mainly in far off Peterhead) although his dad died when he was a baby and his step dad when he was 6 so life cant have been easy - I had been thinking of joining the anefhs so this will spur me on

Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen Industrial School Skene Square
« on: Saturday 14 March 09 15:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I think I have found a  g grandparent in Aberdeen Industrial School - skene square in 1871 aged 9 - I have found a couple of links to Industrial Schools generally and am wondering what he did to earn his place! Does anyone know if there are archives for this school available anywhere so I can try and find some more details ?

thanks

Fife / Re: Help - Crossgates - which Parish? (sorted)

Thanks Harry

I drew a blank at both Dalgety and Inverkeithing and decided to double check the Dunfermline one only to have her appear this time - who knows what I must have spelt incorrectly last time not to get the match !

thanks again for the help - it inspired me to double check so indirectly got me there ..now wondering what else I've missed !!

Fife / Help - Crossgates - which Parish?
« on: Thursday 19 February 09 09:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I am trying to track down a family member Maria Martin who married/lived in Dundee and lists herself on several census' as born in Crossgates but cant seem to decide when ! Its anything between 1811 and 1827!  I dont know which parish her birth would be listed under as Crossgates does not seem to be listed in its own right but  I am sure one of you wonderful people out there know! All hints greatfully received.

Kincardineshire / Findlay, Marykirk

Hi , I am quite new to family history research and am having trouble tracking down my  g, g, grandmother's birth and hope someone out there can maybe help.

I am looking for Elizabeth Findlay ( born 1836/7) daughter of Jean (Jane / Janet) Low and David Findlay - in 1841 they are all living in Thornybush, Marykirk (along with 3 older siblings whose births I have found in Logie Pert and Fordoun) and another younger sister Margaret who also cant find ( there is another brother and sister born by 1851 census who I can't find either although they are all still in Marykirk). I am especially curious because every census I have found her on lists her birth place as some where different although they are only as far apart as Stracathro and Stonehaven...she also gets "younger" as she gets older ( a family trait I have inherited!).

any help gratefully received
