Thanks Red Mystic

I was hunting around late last night and eventually found how to start a new topic. Hopefully I've done it correctly and even more hopefully it will lead to someone with some knowledge on some of my ancestors.
It's very addictive stuff this family research !
All the best and thanks again

Hi once again Chatters.

It has been a joy researching my Bains with your help. I have another question that is, as yet, unanswered.

The middle name of one of the children was Polson. As it sounds like a surname & naming conventions being what they were, it was likely a family name from some point in time, where did it come from?

Here is a quick summary (with more detail earlier in this thread):

One of the children of Robert Bain (1858 Forvern - 1913 Kingswell) & Ann Henderson (1878 - 1923 Kingswell) had the name Edward Polson Bain (1883 - 1884). All are buried at Kirkton of Skene.

The thread pertaining to Ann Henderson's lineage is included in this link.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,536980.0.html

In a nutshell, Ann was born to John Henderson & Innes Berry. Innes married John Prossor. Prossor was the middle name of the boy born to Robert Bain & Anne Henderson 2 years before Edward Polson Bain was born to them.

I've tried to figure out if there is a Polson family connection, but haven't landed on anything. Does anyone have any ideas about where the Polson name may have come from?

In order to keep the family branch finds together, this is an update on Elizabeth Henderson (aka Betsy Prosser): Ann Henderson's daughter & 1/2 sister to Frederick Bain (& the other Bain boys) that came to Canada.

Thanks as always to the wonderful Chatters who have helped along the way.

Hello,

I've not been here for ages as research has taken a bit of a backseat, but now looking into hubby's family tree and have links with both Cheyne & Bain.

This lot all come from around Methlick, Lonmay, New Pitsligo, Rosehearty and Fraserburgh.

Cheyne - the Helen Greig who m Alexander Cheyne is from the Greig family of Lonmay/New Pitsligo - on whom I have LOADS of info, including some very confusing interlinks with the Shearers from New Pitsligo / Monquhitter.  I've also recently found Shearer used as a middle name in other branches of this family there are probably even more twisted links to discover!

Also, Barbara Cheyne (b1886) m Lewis Bain (b1885) - I have a lot of info on Lewis's' grandfather Hector Bain (sometimes recorded as McBain (B 1802 D 1885 Fraserburgh) and all his descendants.  The Mc seems to have been used sometimes, sometimes not - probably depending on the transcriber and how the original was written (ie with or without a space!), which I've come across fairly often.

Bain appears on hubby's maternal side too, via the Howie/Oliphant line - all from Rosehearty and around. but who also link back to the same Hector Bain / McBain as above!

I have bits and pieces of details on many of this family now, I am almost lost in the midst of them, lol, but if I can help in any way at all, just ask! :)

Hi Smoo,

Thank you for checking in! I will double back to see if any of your names connect in to my tree. Have you seen the Cheyne family site?

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cheyne/

I don't see any connection to Bains in that site. A year or so I identified which of the daughters came to Canada - one married a Bain - but it hasn't been updated.

The Pirie family history site crosses over with the Cheyne site. They include my information, but I don't see any other Bain connection to the Cheyne family name there either.

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/pirie/history/PFWv1-o/index.htm

Yesterday, a Chatter, ev, sent me something interesting: Frederick Bain/Mary Ann Cheyne marriage 1937 Aberdeen Aberdeen City. I've not found a fit in my tree (yet ;)).

The Cheynes & Bains in my direct line were well settled in Canada by that time, having come in 1909.

Now on to a question I hope you ca help with given all your Bain & Cheyne connections. This is my branch:

Frederick Charles Malcolm Bain (so Robert Bain & Ann Henderson)
Birth 26 May 1889 in Peterculter, Aberdeenshire
Death 26 Aug 1944 in Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada

married (in Canada)

Mary Helen Cheyne, of Balnamoon Farm, New Pitsligo (do Helen Cheyne, who was do John Cheyne & Helen Ironside)
Birth 19 Sep 1886 in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Death 11 Dec 1967 in Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada

Do any of these people show up in your tree?

I also wonder, being so far apart, how Fred & Mary Helen would have met? I see, from the WWI memorial in New Pitsligo, that there were Bains there. Could they have been related to Frederick's father, Robert Bain (abt 1858- Feb 1913) who was from Foveran before moving to Crommie Cottage at Kingswell?

Do any of these names / pieces ring a bell Smoo? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

Good morning Malky,

I noticed two e-mails come in as I was posting a response to smoo.

You've outdone yourself!

Thank you very much for the Kirkton of Skene cemetery photos. I found headstones for Robert & his brother John when we visited last summer, but the others are new & much appreciated! :-*

Thanks also for the photos of Crommie Cottage. I saw that in person last summer, but not with the added bonus of the cherry blossoms you captured in one of your shots. You went to a lot of effort to capture it from so many vantage points! (It's awfully close to the motorway isn't it? :o ;D)

Thank you very, very much.  :) :) :)

Hi Chatters,

Can I please get some help with an elusive census? I'm looking for the 1891 census for John Cheyne (1828-1918) & Helen Ironside (1827-1910) at Balnamoon, New Pitsligo Parish, Aberdeenshire.

I have the world edition of *A*. A transcription doesn't seem to be there (though a second set of eyes are invited to try find it ;)). I can see a 1891 census record for John Cheyne on the FamilySearch site, but there is no image & the transcription doesn't list others in the home.

I can see on the Cheyne Family Website that the record I'm searching for is Enumeration District 7, page 27, number 124. Unfortunately, when I contacted the site I got a bounce-back message saying they are away indefinitely. (The last update to the site was in 2010.)

Can someone provide the image for me or direct me to another source?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

In addition to the census info of the last post re the 1891 census in New Pitsligo, I'm also looking for a list of the burials at Longside Kirkyard, Aberdeenshire.  ;D

Sarah Third (nee Cheyne) (1864-1931) and her husband, John Gibb Third (1861-1940) are apparently buried in that cemetery. I would love to get photos of their stones if possible. If there are other Thirds there, I'm interested in those stones as well. ;)

Jane "Jeannie" Cheyne was working in Longside in 1901 for Alexander Cener, Head Master, Longside Public School. It is possible that she is buried in that community.  ??? If so, she died after 1918 & I'd love to get a photo of her headstone as well.

The Longside Kirkyard is not included in the cemeteries listed at: http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/databank/miindex/miindex.php

Does anyone know if the cemetery has been transcribed and, if so, if headstone photos exist?

Thanks again for any help that can be provided.
