Aberdeenshire Surnames: Bain & Cheyne

[RedMystic]

One more question (I hope that's all). In my Crommie Cottage thread GR2 generously provided the following message:

I had a look in the Mitchell Library today and have noted down the inscription on the Bain gravestone at Skene and its location. I also checked the Confirmations, so have details about the estates of Robert Bain, his son, Harry, and his wife, Ann Henderson. I also have a reference to a son in Canada. If you let me have your e-mail in a personal message, I'll send you the details.

Graham.
I'd like to lay my hands on similar "details about the estates", but for John Cheyne and his wife Helen Ironside. Is it possible for someone to do a similar look up for this branch of my family, or, alternatively let me know what that sort of lookup entails?

Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided.

Hi, have just read your email.  I have been doing other reserarch and just got back on my Scottish family.  I have a Doug Cheyne born around 1917 he married an Edith Mitchell they had two sons, one of which I think moved to America.  Not sure if this helps.

Hi Patbarnes

It's great to hear from you. I just got back to Canada from a trip to Scotland where I was able to locate the headstone for my ggg grandfather / grandmother Cheyne as well as the home he in which he died.

My gg grandmother Cheyne came to Canada in 1910, but there seemed to be little if any contact with those left in Scotland. (She may have left under a cloud as she had an illegitimate daughter who sailed for Canada to marry my g grandfather in 1909. My gg grandmother never married & never acknowledged her parental connection to her daughter once she was in Canada. I only proved the parental connection in the last 10 months or so.)

There is a fabulous Cheyne website. Have you seen that? I'm not sure of any connection to a David that had a son that went to Oz, but I'll take a look tomorrow to see if he's there.

Cheers

Hi, thank you for your reply, amazing how many of our ancestors were either unmarried, or had children out of wedlock, seems like today, it is going back to those times.

I have not seen the Cheyne site, could you possibly send me the link, we may end up connected who knows.  Good luck with your research.  Pat Barnes (nee Boon).

Thank you fist. I appreciate the follow-up. 

I was just doing a scan of it to see if I could see Pat's: Doug Cheyne (1917) & Edith Mitchell. I don't see them, but it is so large that I may have missed something.
