I'm not sure if you're still looking for info on the Strachans.I checked out freecen & found this;1841 -St.Fergus Village
Robert,50,Chris,50,George 8 all born in Banffshire & Robert's job was an Ag.Lab. In 1851 they're still in the same place.Robert 60,Brickmaker,born Longside,Christian(wife)61,born Aberdour,Agnes daughter,25,born St.Fergus,John Hay,grandson,1,born St.Fergus George,son,18,Ag.Lab also born St.Fergus.There are also 2 lodgers Margaret & Catherine Willox age 6 & 3,both born in Inverness.Agnes was working on the farm of Pitenheath as a female servant in the 1841 census.
Also in 1841 was Jane Strachan,a female servant  at Inverugie age 35.She's still there in 1851 as a house servant,born in Peterhead.As all these people are in the parish of St.Fergus I have mentioned them.I've saved the best till last! 1841 Blackhill,John Strachan,70,Crofter,born Banffshire.
also in the house was a servant,Isabella Smith age 50 & also born in Banffshire.I'm assuming he's widowed as there's no mention of his wife Christian Murray.

P.S.,Robert & Christian are still in St.Fergus in 1861.In fact they're the only Strachans in the parish according to freecen.This means you will be able to trace their death certificates if you have n't already done so!

thanks very much will look into the info you have sent, and hopefully it will help to track down further relatives.
