Carole,

Do tell me about your Robertson/Hollier connection - this one may be new to me! Not many Holliers ever turned up in Scotland.

Hi Peter, You can check it out in my family tree website:


http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/meelymunch

Harry Hollier [a seaman]born 1884.
His parents were [Thomas Henry Hollier and Bertha Harris, according to the LDS Site from Warrickshire,UK]
He married my gg cousin Margaret Robertson on 20th Nov 1908 in Aberdeen.
On her death certificate it says : Margaret Hollier (known as Mellan)No mention of being either a divorcee or a widow.
Informant of death was John Mellan of the same address so i`m assuming she was separated and living with John Mellan as husband and wife.
I have no idea what happened to Harry Hollier and have yet to find out if they had any children together.

Cheers, Carole.

Carole,

No, I'm sorry. Just one of many thousands of individuals in my One-Name Study - have collected the BMD index entries but certificates have to be bought sparingly.

Hi Carole

Any of these familiar to you?

Carole,

Some of the surnames you listed are on the fringe of my maternal lines (MCINTOSH from Nairn & COULL from Portgordon). All listed below are in Portgordon or Buckie.

1. Jean GEDDES married Peter REID in Buckie c. 1790.
2. Jessie THOMSON b. 1839 the daughter of William THOMSON and Helen COWIE and married William COULL in Portgordon in 1862.
3. Anne COWIE married Alexander REID in Portgordon c. 1850.

Thought I would post these on the off chance you may find a link now, or at some stage in the future. Try the various OneName Study Groups. I know there are people who have researched families in this region pretty thoroughly because the small population meant lots of inter-marriages between the same local families. I got most of my COULL info from just such a person.

From a website perspective you can't beat - http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp

Good luck,


FishMan

Hi Carole

There's a great site for Port gordon/Enzie/Rathven for your Geddes line.

Try this link   http://rgu-sim.rgu.ac.uk/history/family_history.htm

Just don't get lost in it. ther's so much detail it's possible to get carried away and forget to come out for dinner, or breakfast or lunch next day !!  Grin

I'm from the Hendry (Beamer) line myself.

Hi Meelymunch,
 
          I see from the surname interest list that you have Goodbrands somewhere on your tree, so have I. My GGrandmother ,BATHIA GOODBRAND b 29th Aug 1861, Fordyce, mother JANE GOODBRAND, FATHER ? Bathia married John Slater 1880 in Port Soy. They had 3 daughters (maybe more).John must have died because in 1895 Bathia married a Joseph Robertson in Rutherglen.

Any connection?

Hi, My gggg grandparents were William McHattie and Elspet Smith (birth c1778)
They had a daughter (i don't know of any other children) Helen McHattie born c1799
She married John Grant in 1821.

That is my extent of my knowledge about the McHattie family so far.
