Maybe worth mentioning again but deceasedonline.co.uk gives a lot of burial information for the Arbroath area. Angus is (I think) the only Scottish county represented. I used it a while back and found it to be very good.
Edwards, Grieve, Talbert in Angus and Kincardineshire; Allan, Dundas, Hacket, Milne, Reid in Aberdeen and Orkney; Brock in Thurso and Aberdeen; Rennie in Aberdeenshire to name but a few...

I am new to RootsChat, and not sure how to 'break  in' to an established correspondence, and (in this instance) ask a new question of Derek.

Please help, if you can offer guidance on this.

Hi Searcher+

Derek doesn't seem to have been replying to more recent requests - and he did say originally that he had the records "for a while".

It might be better to post a general question on the Fife board (if that's the relevant location) and see if anyone can answer.

Welcome to Rootschat, by the way!

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Just to to the top of the board in question - actually should probably be this one - Angus - and there is a button at the right of the board for new topics.

Apologies to all. I've been away from the genealogy for a bit, but now I'm back.

There are many Christie's  listed in the Arbroath voters roll for 1891.
However there is one Sam Christie listed who is described as a flaxdresser residing at 20 St Mary Street.

There are these Crammond's:

James, a mason, 16 church st.
David, fireman, 21 guthrie port.
P. , shoemaker, 56 brechin rd.
William, foreman, 13 st vigeans rd.
David, fireman, 16 east abbey st.
David, seaman, 8 leonard st.
Hugh, mill foreman, 21 sydney street.

IanCraik

Unfortunately there's only one Craik on the Arbroath voter roll in 1891, David, a salesman living at 15 george st.

I think the site you're after is www.ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk where you can view BMD's for Scotland. You'll get his cause of death there.

I have already (I think) sent a message regarding my interest in an address in Viewfield Road, Arbroath, in the 1890s, but I should perhaps have added that I am interested in the names Wyse, and Lothian, in Arbroath at that period.  That might help track down the address in question - or it might not.. there are a lot of unknowns in this enquiry.

Hope I have sent this correctly.

Thanks

PS:  I think I have attached an image of the name of the house I am interested in, as inscribed in the Register of Births.

Also can you find out any information on the Carrie family from Abroath.

I have some Carries in my tree. A distant cousin of mine, Anne Brymer or Bremner, born in Brechin in 1824, married James Carrie, born in Arbirlot in 1820 to Peter Carrie and Ann Gowans. I have traced quite a few descendants of James Carrie and Anne Brymer.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
