Home Farm, Findrassie
« on: Saturday 29 August 09 07:58 UTC (UK) »
On my grandfather's marriage and my father's birth certificate the address given is Home Farm, Findrassie.  The dates 1917 and 1918.

Can anyone tell me if this farm still exists and if there is a photo on geograph.org.  I couldn't  find Findrassie.

Thanks

Closest I can get:

The farm may now be called something slightly different.

If you Google there are various references to be found.  This one gives maps the present farm in great detail:

Thanks Little Nell and Imber for taking the time to reply.

The photo of the farm that Little Nell gave me could well fit with a photo I have of my grandparents and two of their children in a walled garden taken about 1926.

Thanks both for your time.

Keith,

If you post the photo, and you wish, I'll nip out to Findrassie and try to get you a current view.

Thanks for your offer but I will leave that line of research at the moment as the photo I refer to was taken within a walled garden.  I will keep that until some time in the future when we can perhaps visit the area personally.

I really appreciate your offer.

hi there .... can anyone help with the name of Mrs Pease's sister who stayed at Home Farm Findrassie in the 1960s?
My cousin lived in one of the farm cottages at the time and the woman made a sulpture of him for a competition... she had promised to give it to him but it won and was kept for display. As a special gift she made another of a farm worker and lamb for him...
On a recent visit the piece in question ,being on display, was a topic of conversation and I had suggested that through the internet we might be able to find out the artist's name and perhaps even locate the original piece... so here goes!
As part of the visit we passed down the Findrassie road and stopped to look at the old farm buildings.... not a lot had changed and brought back happy childhood memories...
hope to hear from someone soon
Linda :-)
