Banchory Ternan DOW (?)

[casliber]

I have an ancestor James DOW shoemaker (b.18/9/1808 Skene - d.25 June 1889)
who had parents Lewis DOW and Elizabeth DEANS

While looking on the Scotlandspeople website I downloaded a possible
ancestor, Lewis DOW, labourer, who 4th feb 1856 died  who is buried
(accoring to his death certificate) in Banchory Ternan in Kincardine,
originally from 'Glenbucket )Glenbuchat? Aberdeenshire. This was the only
death on the cvil register but my interest was not too piqued until I found
the following on the FreeCEN:



Piece: SCT1841/252 Place: Banchory-Ternan-Kincardineshire Enumeration
District: 9
Civil Parish: Banchory Ternan Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 9 Page: 7
Address: Crownest

        Surname       First name(s)       Sex       Age       Occupation       Where Born       Remarks
        DOW       Lewis       M       58       Ag.Lab        Outside Census County (1841)
        DOW       Elisabeth       F       64               Outside Census County (1841)


Thus - is there a MI for Banchory Ternan churchyard (couldn't find one on
ANESFHS website) and/or can someone check 1851 Kincardine census which may
have more info?

cheers

Hello,

I live in Banchory and have just started using Rootschat! So did you ever get any help on the above query? I see that often the scottish requests get less response.

I'm originally from England and so is all my family history but if you're still looking for some local info I'll see what I can do.

Regards

Keith.

Thanks Keith,
I just got back from 3 (email free) weeks on holiday. Thanks for the offer and am jusy trying to verify currently whether my James is infact the same James who was born to Lewis DOW. He has no headstone in the cemetery unfortunately.

Once I confirm they are related I will no doubt be in touch........

hi cas, difficult one as lewis dow married elizabeth milne on the 7th jan 1807 banchory and had at least 4 children alexander, mary, margaret, angus.

death certs are funny things when it comes to registering a death as those close to the person can sometimes guess the surname of their granny, i would advise that you try and find the marriage cert as it would be more accurate with parents names.

I'd been hunting for Lewis and Elisabeth (my 4-g grandparents) on Ancestry without much success.  With your help I traced them. They were marked as Lewis and Elisabeth 'Dows'.  My line comes from their daughter Elisabeth (my 3-G Grandmother 1809-1874) whose death certificate refers to Lewis and Elisabeth. 

I have had difficulty reading Elisabeth's Maiden Surname on the death certificate.  it seems to be Milne.  I would appreciate any confirmation or otherwise of this.

Hi jb7

Contact SP (see bottom of the their page 'contact us' and link through to the 'illegible image' screen). Provide them with the ref. no for Elizabeth's DC and they will send you out a paper copy which should be clear.

Regards.

Hello,

I have just found my Dow branch of the family tree, I am connected to Lewis Dow and Elizabeth Milne.

I am currently going round getting photos of Farms and graves etc  as i live between Strathdon and Banchory Ternan and would love to hear from others connected to this line.

Cheers
