Pearson, from moneydie

[watcher]

Hi Monica,

Apart from the age everything else would appear to fit, the new family adds another dimension to my FT.
I will try Scotlands people to find a positive link.

Hi Monica,

I have just found them on Scotlands people and was amazed at the answers I found.
My Grandfather was born in ST Madoes and I always wondered how his Parents came to be their in 1900.
His mothers sister died soon after giving birth to her 3rd child at a farm their and his parents were both working on the same farm.
I thought this was the link to why they went their when they were not married maybe to give birth out of wedlock. Oh silly me.
I wondered how they met seeing He came from Moneydie and she came from a small farm caller Cronin near Coupar Angus.
The mystery has been solved as Mary, his mother, and Alexander, his now stepfather, had their second child James at Inchyra Cottages in St Madoes.
Thanks to a great clue from yourself I have finally found the answer, the best £6 I have spent in a while.
I really appreciate your help.
Charlie.

I am wondering if anyone can help.  My daughter has recently started tracing our family tree.  She is doing quite well and had the bones of the tree now we just want to put on the meat lol.  It would appear that my Great Grandfather (Robert Reid) was married in Moneydie  to Isabella Scot McKay on 7th December 1900.  Robert is described as a Labourer and Isabella as a Domestic Servant.

I noticed on the Marriage record that they were married at Mooneydie Cottages, Mooneydie.  You will notice the diffetent spellings of Moneydie  - double o on the register.

Robert was born on 12th September 1878 in Errol

We will send more information as we find it

We would love to get any information anyone might have.

Hi
I'm new on board... I joined because of your post - I am descended from Donald Scrimgeour and Jane Palmer.  They also had a daughter named Jane who married John Taylor in Kinnoull in 1845.  Donald and Jane are one of my dead-end brick walls and I am wondering if you know anything further about them.  Jane and John are my great, great, great grandparents. I am also looking for siblings of James and Jane Scrimgeour, on the 1851 census I seem to have located James and his mother as well as a granddaughter named Jean McGibbon.    Jane Scrimgeour was born in 1817 in Forfar, but her brother James was born in Perth, seems they were mobile people. 
If you have anything further I'd be delighted!
Ann

Hi Charlie - just hoping that you have remembered to look for the Lawerence Pearson you said you had information on - the one that was in the merchant navy - I know its been a while - but I have drawn a blank  and am hoping you can dredge up the information from your files.
