Hi Kate,

The Crown Office site recommended by mitchell has a comprehensive description of the role of the Procurator Fiscal.

You may also wish to go to the 'RootsChat LEXICON of Genealogical Terms and Abbreviations' on RootsChat at:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,234766.0.html

Scroll down to Procurator Fiscal and you will be referred to the entry on 'Deaths in Scotland 'which has references to RootsChat threads which discuss overlapping material on Fatal Accident Enquiries, the Procurator Fiscal, and the Register of Corrected Entries; there is also an entry in the 'Lexicon' re Precognition.

Hi Elaine and JAP,

Thanks for your responses and suggestions. 

I am away now until tomorrow evening but when I return will follow them up and let you know what I find! 

Many thanks,

KateW

Just to let you know that I contacted the Local studies Library with my request and was emailed by the Assistant Librarian at Aberdeen City Library.   She says that they would have a record of any report at that time and has very kindly offered to search for me.  They will post anything they find.  So here's hoping....

I see Precognition means questioning of witnesses.
The Procurator Fiscal information is interesting and I see that the intervention of the Procurator Fiscal doesn't necessarily mean the death was suspicious.

Hi Kate,

I'm glad that you've contacted the library, quicker than waiting for me...the staff are great there  and if there's anything to find then they will

This might be of general interest with regard to the 'family' (in its wider sense).
I've been hunting through past files as I knew somewhere I had it.

Wow, thanks Kin-getter!   
What a find!!  Nice to see that Pittendri(e)ghs are still searching too.  There are several email addresses to contact and apparently 12 main branches of the family - this should be fun and interesting.

Hello Pam,
Thanks for your replies.
Ann Pittendreigh married Donald Ross Whyte in Old Machar in 1840 and we know what happened to them after that time.   I understand she was born in about 1816 in Aberdour (not sure where that is) but we know nothing of her family.
Kate.

Hi
The Parish of Aberdour is just up past Fraserburgh and before Banff on the coast of the Moray Firth in Scotlands North West. My daughters gt grandmother was Isobella Pittendreigh born *th Oct 1878 at a place called Cookney Kincadinshire which is south of Aberdeen, but her father Alexander came from Fraserburgh so I am wondering if there is a family link. I have made a note of this info and if I come across anything I will forward to you. Joyce Devlin.

Jap,
I've been on Scotlandspeople and paid the £6 for 30 credits.  I did a search for Ann Pittendreach Birth and death and seem to be unable to view the results - very frustrating!!  There was a blank page with a torch symbol in the top left corner.  Does this mean my computer doesn't have the correct programme to open it?  Do you know what I need to have to be able to view the results?
