I have some Meldrums from Drumblade.  I have a Charles Meldrum, born May 26, 1849 in Drumblade.  He married Jessie Ann Robertson, born Aug 25, 1853 in Gartly.  They were married in Glasgow Sept 29, 1875 and came to America (Buffalo, New York) in 1889.  Charles was an engineer and blacksmith in Huntly in the 1881 Census.

Charles's parents were Peter Meldrum and Elizabeth Mitchell.  Peter from Dukewell, Drumblade, born 1802 and Elizabeth from Kennethmont born 1815.  Peter's parents were William Meldrum and Janet Grant, from Rynie and Essie.

Would we be sharing the same family?

Hello Paul,
I am researching people who lived at Bograxie near Inverurie.
Ann Riddel(husband John Mortimer) had a brother John who lived at Bograxie 1861 - 1881, married to Janet Cowie. I haven't managed to find death certificates for John or Janet, do you have any info on them or their children?
John.

Hi John

Sorry for taken so long to get back to you.

Unfortunately I could'nt find deaths for John Riddel and Janet Cowie unfortunately I have not been able to find them after the 1881 census.

I am going up to Aberdeen Family History Society Research Centre hopefully in October so I going to have another look there.

In the meantime are you able to give me the information you have this family to see if that help me when i search for them.

Paul
