This won't help you but my very first 'proper' boyfriend was from Portsoy staying with his sister in Maidenhead Berks.  He was a Mair and seeing the name again brought back happy memories of a holiday staying with his mother in Portsoy in about 1958!

I have just found out that my grandad's cousin Margaret Jane Wood "park" was married to William Mair "shanker" - his parents were George Mair and Euphemia Mair (M/S Pirie) from Portknockie.

William died when the Zulu fishing boat "Evangeline" was caught in a storm in Jan 17th 1905 just off Stornay with all the crew losing their lives.

Anyone got a connection ?

Cheers, Carole
