Hi,this is probably a long shot but here goes.I'm trying to trace my Grandmother's birth,her name was Isabella Emslie Slater she married  Alexander Hodge and I know that in 1914 they were in Alloa. The most hopeful lead I have is from the 1881 census,  Isabella E Slater aged 7 daughter of Bathie Slater (head of household), Low St Port Soy.

There was also a Mary aged 11 and a Jeanie aged 5.

Have you come across this family and if so do you have any futher info.

Sorry but I don't think we have any connection - my husbands family is from Banffshire or Morayshire,  and the names you mention are not familiar ones.

...gfindlay... My Paternal Grandfather was Joseph Addison of Cullen, Banffshire.  A Herring fisherman, he was also a licensed steam engineer and owned and operated the fishing boat 'Shining Star' out of Cullen @ 1920(+/-).  He married Georgina Wood of Portnockie and emigrated to Canada, settling in Windsor, Ontario, where Georgina and their two sons (Edwin and MY father George Wood) joined him a year later.  They emigrated together as a family to Detroit, Michigan shortly thereafter.

If this information is helpful please feel free to contact me for dates etc.

This won't help you but my very first 'proper' boyfriend was from Portsoy staying with his sister in Maidenhead Berks.  He was a Mair and seeing the name again brought back happy memories of a holiday staying with his mother in Portsoy in about 1958!

I have just found out that my grandad's cousin Margaret Jane Wood "park" was married to William Mair "shanker" - his parents were George Mair and Euphemia Mair (M/S Pirie) from Portknockie.

William died when the Zulu fishing boat "Evangeline" was caught in a storm in Jan 17th 1905 just off Stornay with all the crew losing their lives.

Anyone got a connection ?

Cheers, Carole
