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.

Hi there....

I'm not sure if this is of any significance...but, my grt grt grandmother was an Ann Nicol Brown, the daughter of William Brown and Margaret Ramsay....she was b. 22Jan1855, in Forfar.....she also went on to name one of her sons, Alexander after marrying  John Walker b. Dec 1844 in ST. Vigean's.....wonder if maybe the Brown family and the Nicol family were friends or neighbours?

All the Best

Hi Wendy:

It is very possible they were neighbors or friends.  Would need to look at census data to see if they were in the same vacinity.  Brown was a male and hv now learned both died as children.   It does appear that using surnames in children's given names was done.  Have an g. uncle who was named John Carnegie Hird - the Carnegies lived nearby.  Sometimes surnames in a given name designate a grandmothers or mother's maiden name.  Am sure they followed these two practises  just to confuse descendants.

Hi Lauraine....

Yes I'm quite familiar with Maternal family surnames being used as second givens....the majority of my "Irish" family is like that .... I know that Nichol is not a family name...as Ann's mother's  maiden name was Ramsay, and her grandmother's maiden name was Clark.  Just a thot ... thanks for your reply.

All the best

Hi: Smiley

Just noted your searching the surnameBarry/Barrie in Forfar (Angus).  We have a Bryce Barrie m. David Nicol 1812 St, Vigneans.  Bryce's parents were Patrick or Peter Barrie & Margaret Stroner.  Any connection?

Hi Again...

I have a Janet Barrie who married Alexander Brown/Broun...in1818 Forfar, they were the Parents of Ann Nichol Brown's father....William.  I hav'nt been working on this side of late...been concentrating more on the Irish side, The Thompson's (Londonderry) and the Close's(Belfast).

All the best

Do you have the parents for Janet Barrie?  Bryce Barrie was b 1792 - wonder if they cud be sisters or cousins?  Like you hv been away from the Nicol/Barrie connections over the summer.  Cousin gave me new info & photos for my Welsh Coombs family so try to organize that.  Off-line most much of the summer.  Good hunting.  Cheers

Hi

Many of my ancestors came from St Vigeans. If possible I could you send me a copy of the church to allan@aferrier.demon.co.uk

Thanks

Hi Allan:

I think the photo of the churh came from "Google" and will forward.  The photo of the gravestones came from a relative in UK and will send them as well.  Apparently the graveyard was "tidied up" and the stones placed in rows so they do not designate actual graves? Smiley

I always find this site with old photos of mainly Dundee area and some other parts of Angus, very helpful. This link will take you to a picture of St Vigeans church, but you can search the site for many others.

Hope this is of help to some of you.

My grandfather James Smith was born at 3 Russell St. in 1871. Did anyone have ancestors there at that time? His parents were James and Ann Souter Smith.
