Is Cullen in Banffshire?
« on: Sunday 19 April 09 14:28 UTC (UK) »
Hi all,
Have just about finished the family tree on my mother's side and have just started on my fathers side.
My parents divorced when I was ten  and we moved to Ireland.My birth father died last year and we did not keep in contact at all.He had no interest in knowing us although I have alway kept in touch with my aunt(his sister).
Beause of my aunt and my paternal gandparents, and because it IS my family history I decided to research this side of  my family.
My gran was a McGruer who were all church of Scotland and she married my granda who was Catholic.My aunt says that the McGruers came from Cullen and the name is quite rare.
I am just wondering is Cullen in Baffshire or does it belong to another county?

I would appreciate any help Smiley

Hi Annette.  Yes, Cullen is in Banffshire.  The IGI shows 6 children born to an Alexander McGruer and Helen Findlay in Cullen.

Isles,  thanks for your reply!
Alexander is my gr gr gr gr grandfather.I managed to get a couple of census' for the family and have both Alexander and Helens baptismal details from the old parish registers  on line.
I still have a lot of research to do,will get into that once the kids go back to school tomorrow after the Easter break!

Thanks again
