One of the explanations of the origin of the Forfar Bridie (a form of pastie made with beef) is that it was sold at Forfar market (Angus) by a Margaret Bridie of Glamis in the 19th Century.  Does anyone have any access to information on Margaret Bridie who is  buried in Glamis Cemetery where I am told there is a headstone on her grave with information about her. The headstone is shown on the website for St Fergus Kirk, Glamis but is too small a resolution to be read.  www.stferguskirkglamis.co.uk/cemetglamisbridie.html
Any information gratefully received. Thanks Kirwan

Thanks for this.  I bought Paul Hudson's book - ‘Ann Summers Creator of the World Famous Bakewell Pudding' which contains very useful information on Ann Greaves.  He too is Ann Greaves' great great great grandson.  Unless you and he are the same.  The book helped a lot in my research and corrected a number of previous inaccuracies regarding Ann Greaves, though I still have a number of questions which unfortunately the book didn't cover.

Thank you, I presume there was a Y for Anne.

Thanks, much appreciated. Kirwan

Thank you Carole, that's her, looks as if her grandson by her first marriage was there as well. If the information I have is correct then she would not have been on the 1861 census for Bakewell but should have been on the 1861 census for the kirkmanshulme district of Manchester, possibly living alone or with her daughter Ann Bradley. The latter would support the view she did not die in Bakewell in 1855 but lived on till 1866 dying near Manchester
