St. Paul's in Aberdeen Records

[Forfarian]

Very interesting Forfarian. I can assure you that I'd rather be in Moray than Texas myself ;-)

Some photos for you to admire

a few more Bush's than I'd prefer...and not the landscape kind!

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the moderators, I'd find a bit of vegetation preferable to a certain kind of playing card.

Fogmoose, if your offer still stands, could you please check for Isabella Calder M(a)cIntosh, daughter of Joseph M(a)cIntosh, candlemaker, and Catherine Calder? The census says that Isabella was born in Aberdeen and her age suggests she was born around 1845/6. Two of her younger siblings were born in Inverurie and baptised in St Mary's Episcopal there, so there is an Episcopal connection.

Of course, will let you know if I find anything.

[Forfarian]

Thank you.

No M(a)cintosh's, checked from 1842-1848. Let me know if you need anything else.

[Forfarian]

Thank you for looking. Can't think of any more offhand, though I know I have quite a few born in Aberdeen for whom I have no baptism.

Well I'll be at it for a few more weeks, so if anything comes to mind let me know. Some of the older pages are really a mess...and I don't just mean from the effects of time! I swear sometimes they tried to crowd every baptism and marriage on one page! I know paper and writing materials were a luxury in 1740 but I mean really! And the handwriting...yuchhh. I've attached an example for slits and giggles. I suppose these were microfilmed by LDS during the 60's and 70s....I wonder that some of them even exist anymore. Though i must say they are in MUCH better shape then some of the Italian records from the same era I've seen.....I suppose its the climate!

Wow, some of that is indecipherable!

If you happen to come accross any Grothenwells, few variations transcribed in there - I know they were Episcopalians.

Thanks,

Can't recall seeing any yet but i'll keep an eye out. I see you have Adam and Davidson in your tree. I do also. In fact, I have a couple of Adams married to Davidsons. 1778 Old Machar, George Adam married Ann Davidson. George was a shoemaker, like his older brother Alexander. I also have George's nephew (Alexanders son with wife Mary Thain) Robert Adam married to another Ann Davidson about 20 years later.
