Buckie's Miln
« on: Monday 13 May 13 13:08 BST (UK) »
I have Rev James Walker of Huntly (abt 1761-1842) whose father is referred to in several sources simply as "William Walker of Buckie's Miln". Can anyone advise what that means .. is it a specific place (Mill?) or a general area?

Hi Rosie

There is a reference to 'Mill of Buckie' such as here www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=133294 Not sure if this is connected.

Monica  :)

Added: Shows here on modern maps www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/smrpub/moray/detail.aspx?tab=maps&refno=NJ46SW0026 My concern with this mention is the timing (late 19th Century from what is showing on the records that I have seen so far).

Many thanks Monica .. I found that one too .. but it's the only mention, anywhere I could find of 'Buckie's Miln'. Not been able to find any reference to William Walker in connection with this place.

There is an Extract Testament showing for Rev. James on SP following his death in 1842 (13 pages). Sometimes you can get some clues regarding a person's extended family from these types of documents.

Hi Rosie

Yes, SP does stand for Scotlands People - sorry for shorthand!

I am not sure how, if any different, what is showing on SP will differ from what you will already have. This is from SP help notes www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=554&407

Likely we may be talking about the same document that you already seem to have?
