Thanks Stuart.  I checked out your site (wow that's a lot of work!!) I'll check out the 1851 Kildrummy census for John (hopefully he's the same one).
Since Anne was from Mortlach, would she possibly been buried there (her parents were still living in 1841 and in Mortlach, but again, I don't know where they are buried)? This side of my family has been a "brick wall" for too long.
Thanks again,
Lara

Hello StuartP,
I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done on your website.
I've managed to find a considerable amount of information about my ancestors linked here:
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/stuartpetrie/ind655.html#@I3095@
I live in Canada, and have been finding it difficult to get a handle on the area, and you've helped me to flesh out my line a bit. My line goes on down through MacDuff Taylor.
The amount of detail you've managed to get is astounding.
By the way, I find there were a number of people around that time giving their children the first name of "Duff" or "MacDuff". I assume it was due to the MacDuff family in the area being very popular at the time. Any ideas on that?
Thanks again!
Bryn Taylor

MacDuff Taylor's gt-grandparents, William Taylor & Jean Fettas, were also my 6xgt-grandparents, so I have more information about certain lines of descendants once they leave The Cabrach. If you contact me via the website perhaps we can share information, I'd like to know more about Macduff and his descendants.
Normally when you see a christian name like MacDuff, Gordon, Forbes, etc you start to search for a family connection with that surname, but it can also be named after the local laird, minister or some other obscure reason. The Duff family were powerful landowners in Banffshire. Whether they were "popular" or not is another matter.
Stuart

Hello,
I would love a photo from the church service if anyone is able to get one. I'm happy to give my email address.
I'm in Australia and unable to travel. My family from Cabrach are Grant, Gordon and Kellas.
Thanks.
