Bruce, Crighton, Fyvie, Mutch
« on: Tuesday 24 January 17 18:05 GMT (UK) »
Currently I'm researching my Family on my Paternal Grandmothers side. I've some information on names and years as follows ...
Bruce's - Peterhead/Foveran/Ellon/Aberdeen 1800's - 1900's
Crichton's - New Deer 1830's - 1900's
Fyvie's - Tarves/New Deer 1700's - 1900's
Mutch's - New Deer 1800's - 1900's
Also McLennan's from Moray, Ross & Cromarty
I'm happy to share all my research, of which I am looking not only at the Family connections, but their residence, employment and any other interesting facts.
Wilson's of Fife & the Lothians
Bruce's of Aberdeenshire
Fell's of Lanarkshire
Dewar's of Dundee & Glasgow
Kay's of Glasgow & Leith & East Lothian
Dickson/Blair/Golightly of East Lothian

I have lists of the monumental inscriptions from Ellon and New Deer. If you want anything looked up, let me know. You have maybe seen these already.

I have George Crighton (1792-1873) in my tree. He married Margaret Brebner (1792 - 1897) and their gravestone is in New Deer cemetery. Their son Alexander (1821 - 1902) is my great-great grandfather. I have found that there are several potential spellings of "Crichton", including Crighton and Creighton, so following the trail can be a challenge.

TY RWTalyor, the spelling changes are a headache, but I've now taken a note of the variations you gave. Also TY you've given me dates for George and Margaret which I didn't have, have you their marriage details? Were they born & died in New Deer? Also can you share a picture of the headstone in New Deer? I also am collecting any information on their Occupations and Houses/Addresses/Farms etc if you know of anything. I didn't even have their son Alexander, Just David. George is my 3rd Great Grandfather, David is my 2nd Great Grandfather, therefore Alexander is my 2nd Great Granduncle.
TY I am elated.

George Crighton married Margaret Brebner on 16 February 1811 at New Deer. George Crighton died 27 June 1873 at Auchreddie, New Deer. His son David registered the death. His death certificate gives his occupation as "crofter". His parents were alexander Crighton and Jane Webster.

Margaret Crighton (nee Brebner) died 11 December 1887 (sorry, I mis-typed the date earlier) at Auchreddie. She died from "general debility" and David again registered the death. Her parents were Peter Brebner (farmer) and Mary Anderson.

I'll have to find the photo of the gravestone.

Spelling variants of Brebner include Bremner and Brember. I have also found people spelled both Bremner and Brymer, and I have also come across Brammer.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
