Hi Joe,
Thank you very much. I have some 1841 information. Would love to find where David Mortimer (b 1812 Insch) was hiding in 1841.
Kind regards
Judy

Hi Paul,
So many names the same but I can't see a connection. I have William Mortimer married Isobel Smith 1800 leased the mill of Knockenbaird, his son-in-law John Morrison (married daughter Isobel) took over the lease.
William Mortimer's parents were William Mortimer and Janet Wisely from Nether Boddam.
My gt gt grandfather David was the son of William Mortimer and Isobel Smith, he came to Australia in 1858 with his wife Jane Benzie. Jane's parents were George Benzie and Jane Horn.
Isobel Morrison was the only one of 8 children to remain in Scotland.
Regards
Judy

Hi Paul,
I have pasted this reply you made in a previous post. Have you managed to find out what happened to John and Janet?
"Unfortunately I could'nt find deaths for John Riddel and Janet Cowie unfortunately I have not been able to find them after the 1881 census.
I am going up to Aberdeen Family History Society Research Centre hopefully in October so I going to have another look there."
John.

Hi Joe,
It is a possability, does it give an occupation? Was he living alone?
Thank you for your hard work.
Judy

I don't think this is my David. I think he must have gone to USA or Sth Africa.
A Benzie descendant sent my Benzie family to me thank you.
Thank you so much.
Judy

The Meldrums are not blood relations of mine but John Meldrum was my father's step father and 'Grandad Meldrum' to me and I have vague memories of him although he died when I was about 4.
I know that he came from Huntly and that his parents were farmers so I believe that he must be the John Meldrum that appears on the 1881 and 1891 census at Dukewell, the son of William and Margeret. I don't know his DOB but c.1878 seems about right.
My 'Grandad Meldrum' became a ships chief engineer, latterly on the 'Levenpool' (I have perhaps the only existing picture of the ship). He married my grandmother Mary Ellen Anderson Scott nee Richardson in (I think but I have yet to send for the suspected marriage certificate) 1911 and they lived in the Tynemouth area. Unfortunately, she made him give up the sea and work in a factory but he was an intelligent man who loved mathematics and mathmatical puzzles. I still have his parallel rulers and a puzzle book.
I believe that he had one brother who became a doctor, his studies partially funded by my grandfather. I believe that he had a sister who may have become a university lecturer but I am not sure.
After his wife died in 1947, he moved to Leigh-on-Sea, Essex to live with my parents but died a couple of years later.
John had no children of his own so it would be nice to fit him into someone's family tree so that he is not completely forgotten. I can't find another John Meldrum in the Huntly area at the right time (apart from the nephew John aged 11 on the 1881 census and also living at Dukewell).
Is this of any interest to you?
