Keith....I am new to this site & you may have a personal reply from already.

There is no Russell St in St Vigeans....it is a one street village.
However there is a Russell St in Arbroath. Is this the one you are looking for? If so I can help as I live in the area. However Russell St was redeveloped a little while ago but the building may still be there. Let me know

Hi:

If you are going pic taking in Arbroath, could you check out 50 Helens Street - hm maybe it is not there.  Census says 50 Helen St. St. Vigeans, Fofar(Angus) - 1881 census data.  I hv a pic of St. Vigeans Church - found on line.  Thx

THe Russell St must be Arbroath in that case althoough the census staes St Vigeans.

Quite a bit of the town of Arbroath spilled over into the boundaries of the (originally separate) parish of St Vigeans. So Russell Street could easily be in both the town of Arbroath and the parish of St Vigeans, without being in the village of St Vigeans.

If you go to www.streetmap.co.uk and search for Russell Street you can see where it is.

I will try to do both places tomorrow....sorry about the delay.
Helen St & Russell St have both been redeveloped and new houses built ! It will still give you an idea of what the area looks like now.

Dear Luckychirpy:

Cheesy You are just so kind.  If there is anything I can help you out with in Manitoba, Canada, please ask - no promises, but would do my best.  Do you know if there are any old photos in the archives of the Helen Street Area?  Cheers,

Dear Alex:

Not sure how to answer your last mssg so am doing it here.
I am not sure if any of the family are buried there.  Am specifically looking for graves of Isobelle (Isobella) SHAND NICOL and Alexander NICOL her husband.  Alexander remarried an Ann KENNEDY, but know she is buried in Aurora, Illinois along with her son John Todd NICOL.  As Alexander is not buried with them, am wondering if he died in Forfar, at 50 Helen Street.

Also looking in this family for a Brown NICOL & Betsy Ann NICOL - neither found on the 1881 census in Alexander NICOL Household  Other missing members for that census are accounted for.  Thank you again for the great pics.

Sorry to butt in but could anyone tell me where Strathmore Villas, St Vigeans Forfar were, if they are still standing or renamed or even knocked down?

Hi Forfarian:

Grin Grin I figured out how to get the Arbroath photos saved into my photoshop program.  All you do is left click blue jpg at bottom and save.  Just a slow learner - now to see if can figure how to post old photo. Roll Eyes  Thx again

Lauraine,

Do you have any dates for the relatives you mentioned in your previous messages? I have a book of some memorial inscriptions around Angus but pre 1855 if that is anywhere near the time. I will have a look if you can give more details.
