If you are contacting the Heritage Services (  Smiley I like this bit from their site: Place names on maps have been extensively indexed), you might also want to enquire about kirk session minutes that may provide more details surrounding the birth and that baptism for Elizabeth. The Kirk members may have had more to say....!

I've been to the Moray Heritage Centre today.  Whilst they may have extensively indexed place names that were on maps, it appears that 'Armydykes' is not on any map!  That said, the people there - both working and carrying out there own research - were most helpful.  I had a look on the OPR for Duffus and the names detailed above all appear to refer to the same place - the Heritage Centre rekons that the 'Airndykes' is mis-transcribed; he intends to change it to 'Armydykes'.  He's still not sure where it is though!

I suspect that means that this thread has run its course.

Thanks for all your help.

They don't have the Kirk Session minutes at the Heritage centre - they are held in Edinburgh, so will have to wait another time.

Guess that I'm finished now!

baptd the 8th [...] (doesn't look like 'inst' but probably the only thing that fits).
It's currt, short for 'current', i.e. 'this month'. Means the same as inst.

Quote
The dates are a bit weird - not sure how 28th May 1802 fits in  Huh
I think it relates to the next entry.

Looking at an old map of the area I came across a place near Bishopmill called Ardgye. Could this be what we're looking for?

No. You're looking for somewhere in the parish of Duffus, and Ardgye is in the parish of Alves.

I will try to visit the (former) East End Primary School when they open again for the summer.

The Moray Local Heritage Centre in East End Primary School is open all year round. It is closed only on Wednesdays in winter.

Forfarian,

Thanks.  I can accept 'currt' and I agree that it's not Ardgye - still can't find it though!  I have also been to the Heritage Centre.

I went right through the places in the 1841 census transcription and there is nowhere which looks even remotely like it. Nor in Matheson's 'Place Names of Elginshire', or the Statistical Account of Scotland. I did wonder if it could be Airydykes or similar rather than Armydykes, but it's a bit academic, really.

Thanks again.  I don't think that I am destined to find Armydykes.

Never mind.
