« on: Monday 04 April 11 21:53 BST (UK)  »
hi folks
   Elizabeth mavor born 1835? died 1923,on her death cert has her maiden name as ledingham( i think couldnt really make it out properly) she died in udny.she gave birth to mary mavor 1865.son is informant on her death cert william glennie,elizabeth is on marys death cert along with her reputed father john fraser he and his wife brought mary up as far as i can ascertain thanks to help from rootschatters ;D also says elizabeth is now wife of john glennie so he must be father of william as far as i know i had the correct elizabeth as certs etc seemed to fit but i must have gone wrong somewhere as i dont know where the name ledingham has sprung from!! as far as i was aware elizabeth was unmarried until she married john glennie.only address i could find for elizabeth was high street oldmeldrum 1865 all the info i have ties in but the ledingham is a spanner in the works!! ??? any help to unravel some of this would be really appreciated thanks

thankyou flst,
    think ill have a look for that book.its very sad to think how easy it was to put someone in an asylum in those days easy to hide an ''embarrassing'' relative away.wouldnt have been much of a life for them then.James had been boarded out to blankets farm then joined up 1n 1911.where will i get the poor relief information from? i too got medical records for mary,very sad that her sil called her the pauper! thanks again flst

thanks BruceL,said on her record her sister in law states''that pauper is beyond control and wanders about at night without knowing where she is''further on she says''she wanders very much-was out all night september 3rd and is pregnant to a stranger without knowing something like been in something ward but cant make it out.on one medical cert 1 dr says she is quite stupid another doctor  stated refuses to talk,vacant,and expressionless appearance.laughs cant make it out.nice sister in law i think and it really didnt take much to admitsomeone to the asylum.easy way to get rid of someone from the family you dont like i suppose,poor mary just suffered with learning difficulties or something,thank god things have changed now! thanks bruce for your input,it would be quite interesting to read that book

yes Nel.mary died in aberdeen asylum in 1907,she also gave birth to james while there in 1890,turns out he wasnt the husbands child but john shepherd brought the boy up as his own.dont think ill ever find out who is actual father was! poor mary tho,to end up in an asylum and then end her days there very sad.medical records i have for mary stated that mary was '' rather stupid'' i do wonder if mary ever knew her son.

mary did marry john shepherd at methlick july 27th 1885
        thanks very much for your help nel,flst

hi flst.thanks very much for that.my mary mavor fraser later married to john shepherd was in aberdeen asylum on and off from 1890-1907,she died there in 1907 she is the same mary you helped me with a few months back.i got stumped with the changing names mary fraser shepherd mary maver shepherd!! went down a couple of wrong routes with this bit of family,her son james later took on the name fraser as a middle name later in life which made me look in the wrong place for him too.so no much wonder im confused.ellon would be correct for mary,discovered she lived at floweryvale dudwicke ellon? thanks for your help much appreciated
