Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with residence name ...
« on: Thursday 27 August 09 15:14 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for your help.

I think I agree with your theory DB10, as the mother somehow ended up working in Aberdeen as a domestic servant later on.   However, the mothers main residence would have been in Strichen at some point prior to that as that is where her parents ultimately settled down as they were fed up with moving around from farm to farm (they were farm servants).

I'll look for Hill of MIntlaw next time I'm on that road.

Thanks for your reply Vicky.

Any ideas as to where this might have been within that Parish?  According to the birth cert, place of birth was Hill of Mintlaw, Longside.   However, the mothers address is given as The Lodge Whitehouse...

Hi, there is a residence name I'm having trouble making out on a birth cert.  I know its the parish of Longside if that helps.  I can make out "The Lodge" and thats it!

Here is an image:

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / COMPLETED - Name of Farm...
« on: Friday 21 August 09 20:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi, There is a name of a farm stated in a marriage certificate which I'm having trouble reading.

Can anyone shed any light as to what the name of the farm could be?

Aberdeenshire / Maps of farmland...
« on: Friday 21 August 09 18:53 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if there were any maps which showed up names of farms.    A lot of my forebears were farmservants way back and worked in the Cruden area before moving up to the Old Deer and Strichen area.

I'm particularly interested in the Cruden area and I have the names of Gask, Tillymaud and I think "Sethermills" (that came from a marriage cert).   I also have the name Brownhill in the Slains area.  I have others but if I could find where these were located it would be a start.

Can anyone help?  :)

Hi, thanks for your reply  :)

I don't have an exact DOB for Charles for according to the marriage cert, he married on 3rd Dec 1881 at Tillymaud, Cruden.   His age is stated as 32.   His parents weren't recorded as deceased on that cert.   In 1901, his birth place is recorded as Rathen.   I've searched Scotalnds People and found nothing. 

He died at the age of 66 in January 1919.
