Isabella aka CADGER-OGSTON-SCOTT

[Jed Devlin]

Alexander Pittendreigh and Isabella Scott are in my family line also.  Via Alexander and his wife Mary Milne. On a note of interest in 1841 at Bodychelle just outside of Fraserburgh  very close to me, Has record of a Alexander Ogston and his wife Isabella living there also in in 1823 a Robert Pittendreigh died there, probably the same Robert that was born in 1741 at Logie Buchan. his son John born in Pitsligo in 1767 married Ann Prott, this is the Udny line that my mother in law said her Pittendreigh line came from, via William Pittendreigh and Helen Catto. James Roberts yongest son married an Elizabeth Catto.

I have seen a number of people liniking this line of Alexander Pittendreigh into Christian Hird. Whic from all my research looks to be completely wrong. Again from family information that all my mother in laws ancestors were farm workers. Any thoughts?

I have seen somewhere that Isabella Scott died in Fraserburgh in 1899.

Hi Jed,
Thanks for that.  I had left this thread for a while and was pushing more on the brick walls of my Maternal line.  You have now prompted me to take it up again.
I agree with you, the Christian HIRD link is a false trail, I spent a bit of time on it and actually upset another PITTENDREIGH researcher for even entertaining it in on my Genes Reunited tree.
Can't remember if I removed it yet, must check!

Cheers,
Sy

How are you related? We are via Isabella Pittendreigh the daughter of Alexander to Mary Milne. would this be your connection?

[Johnner Kid]

Alexander and Mary were my Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother.
My Grandfather was their son James PITTENDREIGH who married Maggie (Margaret) GARDINER
I have replied to your PM.
Scroll back to reply 11 and you will see some clips of Certificates relating to Alexander and the OGSTON/SCOTT issue.

I'll study your data above and see what matches with mine and get back to you later in the week.

Cheers,

Hi

Your James and our Isabella were brother and sister. My daughters grandmother would be your cousin.

[Johnner Kid]

I sent you some photos and a chart but it may have been after you changed your e-mail.
Did you get them?
Here is one of them of the farm at Lumgair in Dunnottar Parish, formerly know as Kincardineshire before it was 'absorbed' into Aberdeenshire.
It shows from left to right; my great grandmother Mary MILNE, my grandfather James PITTENDREIGH, young women, name not known, my grandmother Margaret (aka Maggie) EMSLIE and my great grandfather Alexander (aka Sandy) PITTENDREIGH.
