Mary Dickson Gray
« on: Tuesday 30 September 08 02:07 UTC (UK) »
Trying to trace the marriage of Mary Dickson Gray, born 20/09/1889 in Linlithgow. All I know is she married a shepherd, Mr McIntyre from Newtonmore, they had a son and a daughter. Apparently her son died at an early age, he was burned in a bothy. Don't actually know what a bothy is, this is according to my mum.
Mary's parents were Richard Gray and Jane Forrester.

Thanks Alison

Hi Alison

Not sure if you haven't received notifications from your post on the Stirling board www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,329861.0.html.   We covered a lot of ground on the family including Mary Dickson Gray married in 1923 in Whitburn (William McIntyre).

A bothy is a basic shelter, usually left unlocked and available for anyone to use without charge. It was also a term for basic accommodation usually for gardeners or other workers on an estate. Bothies are to be found in remote, mountainous areas of Scotland, northern England and Wales. They are particularly common in the Scottish Highlands

Hi Alison and Monica,

I decided to take a look for Mary's death, to see if there was clues to children. Unfortunately it looks like Mary died quite young herself. She died aged 40, in 20th February 1929 at Biallid (?), Newtonmore. Cry

To find Mary and William's son's death, you will need to narrow down when he died; 1940s or 50s, etc.

My apologies for not being in touch earlier, however, I was away on vacation in the UK.
Thanks for the info regarding Mary's date of death, unfortunately, I don't know the name of her husband other than it was McIntyre, and that he was from Newtonmore, Inverness.

However, I would just like to say thanks for the dates for Mary.

Many thanks, Alison
