GERRIE - Alexander
« on: Tuesday 19 June 07 15:34 BST (UK) »

Alexander Gerrie and Janet Mitchell Ironside married 22 Oct 1875 Fraserburgh. Janet was the twin sister of Elizabeth Mitchell Ironside who married William Reid Massie.

Iwould like to get further back along the Gerrie line.

Thanks,

James.

Hi,

Do you have the marriage record? You can view this online at Scotlands People. This will give you both of Alexanders parents names and his mother maiden name.

Susan,

Thanks very much, but I don't and Scotlands People is not possible right now. I just hope someone else is looking at this Gerrie Family.

Hi James,

Here's the family's 1881 census entry from ScotlandsPeople;

Address: 26 Harriet St, St Nicholas, Aberdeen
Alexander Gerrie, head, mar., 28, male, plasterer, Keith - Banffshire
Janet, wife, mar., 24, female, -, Fraserburgh - Aberdeenshire
Alexander, son, unm., 5, male, scholar, Fraserburgh - Aberdeenshire
John, son, unm., 3, male, -, Glasgow - Lanarkshire
Janet, daughter, unm., 1, female, -, Aberdeen - Aberdeenshire
John Gerrie, visitor, unm., 31, male, joiner (unemployed), Keith - Banffshire

I had a spare few credits on SP so I also looked up Alexander and Janet's marriage certificate for 1875. Alexander gives his parents as Alexander Gerrie, labourer, and Jessie nee Gray (deceased). Janet's parents were John Ironside (deceased) and Janet Mitchell. I think it says "Now ..." below Janet Mitchell's name but can't make it out. I'll post the part and hopefully someone else will be able to. Smiley

Alexander Gerrie and Jessie/Janet Gray were married 20 Apr 1847 at Botriphnie, Banff.  In addition to Alexander they also had Janet 5 Jun 1855, and Joseph 21 Jul 1862 both born at Keith.

Thanks folks - WOW - so quick as well.  You make it seem so easy but I know it can't be.  I do appreciate your invaluable help.

In my original message -

"Alexander Gerrie and Janet Mitchell Ironside married 22 Oct 1875 Fraserburgh. Janet was the twin sister of Elizabeth Mitchell Ironside who married William Reid Massie"

I refer to William Reid Massie. He had a son called Alexander Gerrie Massie who married Janet Gerrie, daughter of Alexander Gerrie and Janet Mitchell Ironside.

Both Wm R M and A G M appear in the photo I posted under the heading - 'Does anyone connect with any of these?'

Way further up the Massie Tree there is a connection to Bowman -

"James Cardno MASSIE and Barbara Bird BOWMAN were married on 18 Dec 1868 in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.  Barbara Bird BOWMAN (daughter of Samuel BOWMAN and Agnes Helen MILLER) was born on 8 Feb 1844 in Longside, Aberdeenshire. She died in 1918 in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire".  Don't know if this is of interest to Isles?

Thanks again,

James.

There's no record of the birth/baptism c.1822 of Alexander Gerrie in  the I.G.I or ScotlandsPeople.  Scotlands People shows that a person of that name died at Keith, Banff in 1886.  If this is he, the death certificate should give the names of his parents.
My Bowmans came from Angus.

Regards,
Isles.

Thanks Isles, but why c. 1822? Perhaps my brain forgot to wake up today.

I think Samuel Bowman came from France.

Hi James,

I was referring to Alexander Gerrie  who, according to hume24, was aged 29 in the 1851 Census and the possible father of Alexander who married Janet F. Ironside in 1875.

Thankyou Isles for that.

I was right - I'm not too bright today, should have worked that out I suppose.
