Nothing on the McHardy side but still very interesting for me

The building holds a lot of memories for me as my Mum worked there in the 70's. Later I found on the census her ancestors had worked in the linen  manufacturing trade; which I can only guess was also at Broadfords.

You should get in touch with the Maritime Museum in Aberdeen - they're interested in hearing stories from and about women who worked in the Mill!

I noticed your other post about church records being held locally, when Annie went to the Episcopal Church in Banff.  The burial record they showed is actually held in Aberdeen and was taken up to the church for filming!  Some Episcopal records are held at Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives (www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives) and some at the University of Aberdeen's Special Collections (www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/Intro.shtml).  It's the same with the Banff parochial board records - it's held by the City & Shire Archives as well!

Almost certainly time constraints.  There are probably several more hours of film that don't even make it to the 'extras' category

All the WDYTYA episodes have extra footage, via the WDYTYA magazine website

Most definitely time constraints!  They filmed for 10 days for the Annie Lennox programme, for around 3-5 hours per day...I still don't know how they cut it down to just an hour.  But that's why there are apparent leaps of faith, which have been meticulously researched before filming - they just can't show it all!  Wish they could though.

Some Episcopal records are held at Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives (www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/archives) and some at the University of Aberdeen's Special Collections (www.abdn.ac.uk/historic/Intro.shtml).  It's the same with the Banff parochial board records - it's held by the City & Shire Archives as well!

Thank you Archivos! Are they separate records, or duplicated? Do you know if they would they be the same as transcribed by the late Strath Maxwell for ANESFHS?

I was interested in the solicitor who 'abandoned' his illegit. daughter and the childs mother; just a bit on the side obviously, before his marriage.   It reminded me of the way slave owners treated their women slaves, and often had children with them.
