Hi Joette,
The Deys that I have are...
Anne Dey born about 1791. Her death certificate has her parents as Hugh Dey and Elizabeth Burgess but I haven't been able to find their marriage. The 1851 Census has her as aged 58 and born Mortlach, I've been unable to find her birth entry.
The other Dey that I have is Isabel Dey who married Robert Green on 11 Nov 1760 in Mortlach, I don't know anything else about her yet.
I haven't come across your Dey's but it might just be that they are connected somehow. Any notes that I might have made are unfortunately packed away at the moment...I'm decorating...but I'll have a look when I can

Sorry for intruding, but I was intrigued by the title of this thread...
Is there anyone out there who knows if the Davoch of Grange cemetery (which is located not far out with Keith on the Road to Banff) falls under the auspices of Morayshire or Banffshire/Aberdeenshire?
I am interested in finding out about transcriptions for that cemetery... The NorthEast Family Historical Society doe not appear to have any info on it.
If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.
Jak :-)

Hi Jak,
I was a bit new here when I posted this thread and it was supposed to be for the Banff board  though a lot of the names do turn up in Moray as well
Anyway, you asked about Grange...it is in Banffshire see http://www.abdnet.co.uk/genuki/BAN/Grange/index.html If you search in the 'Names,Geographical' link, you will find Davoch of Grange.
There is also the Libindx site to search in http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp
In the 'Cemetery' link you will find Grange and hopefully you will find what you are looking for If you find anything then you can order copies through the online shop link...it's not very expensive

Hi Jak,
Forgot to say that although it won't give a transcripton of graves at Libindx, if you email the wonderfully helpful people there, then they might have the inscription and for small fee will send you a copy...they've done this several times for me. Just follow the 'Advice/Help' link.

Hi Elaine there is a further complication with my Helen Dey.On the same OPR marriage register there is another Helen Dey again" of this parish" marrying the week or month before them.Cousins?I too spied Ann Dey & wondered if they were related-thought maybe a niece. They didn't seem to make it until the 1841 Census never mind 1855 so I am bit stumped as to her parentage as like for your Deys no birth details.Peter Fraser's are there in 1770 so I am wondering if she came from elsewhere perhaps where records have not survived.

Hi Joette,
I've had a look in Libindx and there is info of Helen Dey and Peter Fraser...
Helen Dey born circa 1765 married to Peter Fraser, died 20 Sep 1822 age 57 in Dufftown.
Peter Fraser died 25 April 1847 age 77.
Both buried M(o) Stone 104 (this is Mortlach Old Cemetery)
For £1 + postage you'll be able to get a copy of the inscription from the online shop at http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp
Find the info that you need first in the 'people search' then, just click on the online shop link on the left, choose online shop, choose the link on the left 'Moray Heritage Centre' and scroll down to 'Request Archived Copies'
Your two Helens could well be cousins...there seems to be quite a few Deys in that area at that time. For her parentage, have you tried using the naming pattern on each couple's children to see if that makes a difference? It's useful as a guide only as not everyone stuck to it but sometimes it helps

Thanks for that! How inconsiderate of them not to wait until 1855.Or if he had died first might have traced a birthplace for her! He is on 1841 Census.
I am sure they didn't move around much so am pretty sure she was born in Mortlach or surrounding area.
The naming pattern-they didn't stick to it.Eldest daughter is Christian which is Peter's Mother's name & only son James could I suppose be her Father's .Peter's Father is Alexander.He was christened in Gamrie.
I think he may have remarried too as he has a 12 year old Isabel living with him on the 1841 Census.|There's a submission on the IGI which names the parents as Peter Fraser & Ann.He did have a daughter Ann so I suppose it could be her daughter his Grandchild. I've just found this extra info which I didn't know I had! My redecorating hasn't even started!

Anne Dey had 5 daughters so the naming pattern doesn't really work there either.
Anne Dey was from my dad's side and Isobel Dey was from my mum's and I'm convinced that one day I'm going to join both sides up but they're not making it easy
