Auchteless MIs
« on: Tuesday 03 January 06 19:35 GMT (UK) »
Two to three years ago on a visit to the Kirkyard of Auchterless we made a pencilled note of an MI that we found amongst some Cruickshank graves. Later the same day we were caught in a rainstorm in Huntly Cemetery and our notepad got soaked  with the result the above mentioned note is unreadable.

I can remember some of the inscription: 'To the memory of John Beattie, for many years ploughman at Logie Newton? who died in 1848 aged *** '  

I think that John was the husband of Catherine Shearer and could be a son of George Beattie/Barbara Sim of Oldgateside, Culsalmond.

The ANEFHS has not yet published Auchterless MIs.

Is there anyone out there who can fill in the blank?

Although the Auchterless MI's have not been published by the ANESFHS they will do a photocopy of the relevant transcription for members for a nominal charge. I don't have any Cruickshanks, but do have some Woods in Auchterless kirkyard.

It may be worth joining the ANEFHS

Also worth looking at Freecen for the 1841 census

I could have a look for you - i live quite near! Can you describe the stone and where it is?
