Dalgarno of Aberdeen

[flst]

As mentioned in another post Fogmoose, the poorhouse's records will record the parentage ( & much more information) on it's inmates. Have you followed that line of inquiry yet ?

To be honest flst, I was not able to easily see where to send the inquiry to. I know you said there was a link to an "archivist" but I could not find it.
If I need to send a snail mail request I can draw one up.

I know Its bad form to jump to conclusions re: parentage, but I don't think Dalgarno was THAT common a name and the ages and dates are correct, so I think its a fair assumption. More research certainly needs to be done!

Have a read of this page. You can then email the NHS Grampian  archivist  with your request for more information. Any problems, let us know!

Very informative reading, thanks. I sent off an email requesting information to Fiona Musk, the relevant archivist. I will post any discoveries to this and the other thread as they come in. Thanks again!

Hi
After some considerable time I have found a source of information for Dalgarno.  This may be rather time consuming, but on a visit to the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society office in King Street, Aberdeen, I had some success at last.  A 5th cousin (also researching) ran a check on burial records for Dalgarno.  This produced three records for children of John Dalgarno, Shoemaker and another for his wife, Catherine Carrol.  Ages and addresses are included.  I believe this to be my missing shoemaker.  In with these records were two burials for children of my other Dalgarno (William).  I asked for the relevant microfiches and now have prints.

Perhaps an enquiry to these people might be a way forward if no other information comes to light?  Remember there are variants on this name.  Some of my records were found under Dalgarden.  I think his spouse may also be listed under Karl in records though I have not checked this yet.

The Alexander Dalgarno (also spelled Dalgardno or Dalgairn) that had a child with my GG Grandmother Jane Hutcheon in 1881 was from Fraserburgh.

I have found his family in the 1871,61,51 and 41 censuses. Father Joseph and mother Anne Robertson. Joseph was born 1802 in Lonmay. Parents James Dalgarno, Shoemaker and Helen Hay.  If anyone has links to this family I would be interested in hearing from them.


Corrected, Thanks Ruthhelen!
