The family of Alexander Grant and Janet Jamieson
« on: Sunday 20 September 09 22:57 BST (UK) »
Hello All,

I am looking for any information on the family of my G G Grandmother Mary Jessie Grant or Kidd.

Her Parents were Alexander GRANT and Janet JAMIESON or GRANT.

Mary  Jessie was born around 1862 she married William Russell Kidd in 1882, they were married at Auchintae Croft,  I think perhaps this could be the home of her parents.

I am hoping to find out if Mary Jessie had brothers and sisters.

Mary Jessie lived in Keith after her marrige, but I dont know where she was from,  most likely in the same area?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards

Leandra :)

Hello flst,

Thank you very much for providing me that link, indeed it was a big help :)

I also noticed you have the name Pyper in you interests.  I also have come across that name in New Zealand with another family I am looking at,  do your Pypers have a NZ connection?

Kind regards

Glad I could help! I've very little information on the Pypers.  My gt.gt.gt.gt.grandmother was Christian Pyper.  She married John Scott on 20/12/1794.  They had 2 children John,& Elizabeth. Christian died 5/1/1804 aged 36 & is buried in Peathill Kirkyard (Old Pitsligo),Aberdeenshire.  She is the only Pyper there that I know of.  Do you think your Pypers are from Aberdeenshire? There are a few other families with that surname here.

Hi again,

I hav'nt got far with my Pypers as yet,  I have been doing my Ford family and my lady Sarah Ann  died in 1915  miles from her family and is buried in a plot with this Pyper family.  This is in the bottom of the South Island of NZ which was settled mainly by Scots. If I get to the bottom of the mystery and find where my Pypers come from I will let you know. ;)

Hi, I am new to this site so still trying to figure how work it. Please could you message me? Christian Pyper is my great (x5) grandmother, no medals for guessing who is my great (x5) grandfather is. I'm hoping we can work together on our Scott family research.
