Hi Listers
Please does anyone have access to the old Parish Records for Deskford to help me identify the death of a 3x Gr Grandmother Jean Wilson (MS Milne) prior to December 1849. Jean Milne married Alexander Wilson in Deskford on 14/07/1804, but I believe that he married again on 27/12/1849 to Helen Grant. I would much appreciate any help in proving this.
Regards
David

If you look at http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files/list-of-oprs-120to167.pdf you will see that the Deskford Parish Register does not list deaths or burials.

This may be of little use but sometimes these clues lead you home !
On an old handwritten tree by my grt uncle who died in 1926 he has a Rev.Alex.Wilson.Milne born 1758 to John Milne" of Alvah" , Mill of Boyndie and Jean Milne "of Chapelton".He never married .

Hello Fransmoi
Thank you so much for that very interesting snippet. Maybe there is a connection here? My Alexander Wilson was I believe a Crofter from info on his daughter's death certificate, which unfortunately doesn't give her mother's maiden name. There are also very many Alexander Wilsons in that area and I'm having the devel of a job to find the right one. Many thanks for your help and interest.
Regards
David

Alas the handwritten tree had me fooled and I followed the wrong line to Rev Alex Wilson's parents. They are instead Janet Milne b 1732 and her husband
John Wilson. His mother not his father was the Milne from Mill of Alvah.
Abject apologies ,all. :-

Tantan, I hope you;res still around because I am a direct descendant of Alexander Wilson and Jean Milne in Deskford. Alexander never married Helen Grant, I think it was in fact his cousin, because they lived in adjacent buildings at the Croft Of Aultmore, later to be called Braehead.
I'm interested in your connection with the family, because as far as I'm aware, my son, myself and my bachelor brither are the last males of the name descended from Alexander and Jean.

It's fascinating to hear from you and to find a relative from ancestors that far back. As I have it the first child of Alexander Wilson and Jean (Milne) was Margaret baptised 8/11/1805. She married a Donald McKenzie at Cullen on 13/10/1832 and their 6th child was Mary Forsyth McKenzie born Elgin 25/2/1843. Mary McKenzie married a John Templeton in Edinburgh on 1/7/1863 and their 4th child was Jessie Margaret Templeton, born 28/1/1875 who became my maternal Grandma. John Templeton was an Irish (Belfast) stonemason and they ended up in Kensington area of London where he committed suicide in 1882.
My Gran Jessie went to Somerset as a young girl teacher's assistant and married a Bertie Smith, they married 1897 and eventually settled in Wiltshire where I was born to their 5th child Kate Eliza May Smith.
I don't have my tree on a computor data base but would be interested to hear more from you and compare notes.
Regards
Tantan

Hi again,
I actually have your branch of the family on my tree already, and if you are in fact Mr. Bradfield, then we have definitely crossed paths before. However, it's almost certainly time you had some sort of tree on the computer, so E-mail me at (*) and I'll see if I can help you out on that front.

Hi Christine,
I don't see any connections with my own family, but certainly the locations are all familiar to me. My wife had "Black" ancestors who lived at Hoggie in the late 18th century. Croft of Aultmore was just a small group of about 4 crofts, so our families must have been close neighbours. The Currie's in my family seemed to flit back and forth between Deskford and niegbouring parish Grange, with regularity, so you may well want to look for possible records in Grange parish, or indeed Fordyce parish, which also seemed to have close connections with Deskford in days of yore! Sorry I can't be more helpful!
Graham

Hi Christine
Have just joined the site and noticed that we share John Nicol of Hoggie as an ancestor.I am the Great Grandson of James Nicol ,Rope & Sailmaker of Portsoy [B. 1827] in Forglen Parish.
From death cert. of James's father[also James] came verification of marriage of John Nicol & Margaret Currie .Working on suitable dates found Margaret born To George Currie & Margaret Christie, in Little Dytach on15/05/1776.Like you stuck with John Nicol. What line are you descended from Christine ?
Robert

Hi Christine,
Attached are some OPRs which may be relevant to your search.
1] Death cert of 1877 for James ,son of John. Shows Alexander present at death in no8 Tocher St.
MacDuff,also confirms that parents were John & Margaret Currie.
2] 1841 Census shows Alexander residing at Tocher St. So family house for for at least 36 years.
3] OPR for Birth of Margaet Christie [Wife of John ]
Like you unable to verify prior to John, however, good chance Walter & Bathia may be the parents..just got to confirm this somehow..
