hi

looking for anyone who is researching these names

ogg  tough or skene
strachan

cheers cj

What are your Strachan interests (assuming you mean the surname and not the placename)?
My Strachan connections are in Lonmay, St. Fergus, Peterhead and Strichen. My greatx5 grandfather was an Anderson Strachan b. St Fergus 1799, d. Peterhead 1876.

Any connection?
Strachan of Strichen/New Pitsligo - Connon of Turriff - Watt of Pennan - Noble of Broadsea -  Garden of Peterhead - Bryson of Ecclefechan

I'm looking for my gg grandfather Alexander Watson born 1830 possibly in or around Lonmay or Peterhead. He may have had a Strachan in his family. Have you have come across any Watson in your research into the Strachan? A bit of a long shot but....
Thanks very much.
Margaret

Hi
My Strachan ancestor was Betsy Strachan from Lumphanan. She married Hugh Ross of Aboyne in 1847. Sorry - no Watsons.

Hello Pat,

I have an Isabella Ogg born around 1841, died 1924 and was married to an Alexander Kemp.
Believe her to be born in Old Machar but died in Dundee.
Father was a James Ogg

Anything ??

Regards

Gordon

I'm not sure who posted the reply re Anderson Strachan, but thanks! I'm still investigating the Strachan connection - it's a long shot but the Strachan name comes up as a middle name for my Watson ancestors so possibly there was a female Strachan who married a Watson. I'll let you know if I find a conection.
Regards,
Margaret
