FERRIER of Angus

[LindsaySiam]

Hi Jill,

No, Gibsons in my tree are just coincidental on another line.  Yes, I noticed your Pirie's and wondered but then I looked again and didn't see any Meldrums ...

Every generation in 'my' Ferriers seems to have had a Gibson Ferrier. I research the Ferriers only hoping to make a connection to Thomas Meldrum and Elizabeth Pirie that can take me back but I will add your Alexander and let you know if I come across anything.

Yes, I think it is quite an unusual name also but I like it very much.

Where are your Gibsons and who are they? If you tell me Oamaru in NZ, I will swamp you with mails 

regards,

Lindsay

No, sorry Lindsay, nothing quite as exotic! My Gibsons come from West Yorkshire and into East Yorkshire!

Not the same Lindsay  but I have Ferrier's also .. a Gibson Ferrier married my 4G Aunt, Eliza Meldrum in Ferry-Port-on-Craig in 1839.

Have you seen the Ferrier post on Scotland General???

Hi Gill

I am a Ferrier, and my ancestors came from Angus (forfarshire) and their are a lot of us around.

I am currently out of the country but will search my records when I get back home for the names you have listed

Hi Jill,

There is another Ferrier in Angus post on the Angus page started by ontchick, should we ask a moderator to combine them? What do you think?

regards,

Lindsay

Sounds like a good idea to me, Lindsay - the more the merrier. I've got no idea how to go about it though!
