Hello StuartP,

I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done on your website. 

I've managed to find a considerable amount of information about my ancestors linked here:

I live in Canada, and have been finding it difficult to get a handle on the area, and you've helped me to flesh out my line a bit.  My line goes on down through MacDuff Taylor. 

The amount of detail you've managed to get is astounding.

By the way, I find there were a number of people around that time giving their children the first name of "Duff" or "MacDuff".  I assume it was due to the MacDuff family in the area being very popular at the time.  Any ideas on that?

Thanks again!
Bryn Taylor

Hi All,
Sorry to have taken so long in getting back to you all.  I've been busy with other matters.

Thank you everyone for your assistance. 

Ann, this is amazing information, and I thank you for it.  I have a lot of information on MacDuff's line if you'd like it, and I'd be very interested in Jane's line as well.

I can give you the link that will show you the entire line if you'd like.

In the meantime, I'll be busy working on this new information you've given me.
Best regards,
Bryn

Moray (Elginshire) / MacDuff Taylor's father John
« on: Monday 12 January 09 20:21 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on John Taylor, who married Elspet Harry, from Rothes, Moray.  The information I have shows that they had a son John, and a son MacDuff (also called Duff).  MacDuff was born in Mortlach in 1811.  I'm looking for information on where John Taylor (the father) came from. 

MacDuff Taylor was my GGGrandfather, who's son, grandson, great grandson were also called "Duff" Taylor.  Unfortunately, they moved around a bit, and I have them living at different times in Mortlach, Insh, Kincardine, and then to Canada.

I have Elspet's father as being Robert Harry in Rothes, and his father being Robert Harryin rothes, but nothing on the Taylor side other than what I've already mentioned.

I'd sure appreciate any insight.
