Anyone researching these surnames in the Lumphanan area please get in touch as I have loads of information to share.
-
My Emslie family was from Lumphanan. James Emslie married to Isabella Glass 1877 in Birse. James was the son of Alexander Emslie and Helen Ferries from Strachan Kincardineshire. Do you know this family?
Because of the strong Lumphanan connection I have a feeling that perhaps the family originated in Lumphanan before Strachan - however I may be wrong.
Any thoughts on this?

Hi Sharon - I think we have been in touch before looking for a clear cut connection - and I don't think we found one. My lot originate from Henry Emslie and Ann Kemp married 1804 in Kincardine O'Neil.
But there are a whole lot of Emslies in that general area - I found loads during my research that I couldn't connect. Strachan is not far away and neither is Birse.

I remember now ... I did try to contact you towards the end of the last year regarding your Henry.
I have been doing some research on the Gordon family in Kincardine O'Neil. Alexander Gordon, innkeeper at K O'N had a sister Ann. In Alexander's testament he states that Ann was the deceased spouse of Harry Emslie. (You will know that Henry/Harry can be interchangeable), They had one son, Alexander Emslie born 1800, who appears to have been raised by Alexander Gordon, innkeeper. Just from memory (I will check), a Harry Emslie married Ann Gordon (? date), he had a son Alexander c1801 (again query date). Then there is an entry for a Hary Emslie marrying ----- Kemp.
I just wondered if Harry was the same as your Henry - any clues??
I will certainly check my notes more thoroughly and get back to you if you are interested.
BTW, I have found evidence of a migration pattern between families in Lumphanan and Strachan. William Emslie, spouse of Barbara Middleton is a Strachan man.

Hi
I have a John Emslie (1780-1845) son of William Emslie (0000-1824) and his wife Mary Anderson (1743-1820).
John married Catherine Lawson (1785-1864) @ Leochel, where they lived until the early 1820s, when they returned to Lumphanan.

William Emslie and Barbara Middleton are my 3rd great-grandparents... (thanks be to programs that keep track of relationships for me.)
It was easy to track back to them but William's death certificate says his parents were Peter Emslie and Isobel Wilson and I've not found any of their records.
I've developed (with assistance of two cousins) a very extensive family tree of the descendants of William and Barbara, plus those who married into the family, and would be interested in hearing from anyone who's related.
Always gets my interest when I see a family name mentioned in the Internet.

Did you also come up with the fact that William Emslie was from Strachan (Kincardineshire).
My Alexander Emslie was born Strachan in 1807. His parents were William Emslie & Janet Ferries.
Alexander is buried in Strachan kirkyard and there is a row of Emslie graves, Alexander's, the children of William Emslie and Margaret Nichol, William Emslie's stone, a space and then a large rock which would have at one time been a monument I am sure.
Parents of the above William are James Emslie and Helen Grant. I am convinced that this James Emslie and my William Emslie are brothers.
A third Emslie family is mentioned in the Strachan Parish Registers - that of Peter Emslie and Elspet Gove. Does he fit somewhere in this equation also?
I too found the death certificate of your William Emslie and was a little confused with his parents - Peter Emslie and Isobel Wilson. But what if the Strachan Peter Emslie married twice?
The Strachan OPR shows a William Emslie, son of Peter Emslie, being baptised 22 November 1796.
In 1799 Peter Emslie marries Elspet Gove and has issue.
I can find no mention of a marriage for a Peter Emslie and Isobel Wilson. Not unusual ... but it is also possible this William was illegitimate, although it doesn't state that on his death certificate .. I have seen that sometimes.
Regardless, I have these three families in Strachan - I think there is a good chance they are related.
and just as an afterthought, my Alexander's son, James (my gt grandfather) also went to live in Lumphanan. This makes me think that perhaps the Emslies came from there originally.

Hi Bill.
I know Lumphanan and area very well - I've spent several holidays in the National Trust Cottages at Craigievar and I've done a lot of 'rooting around' in the Kirkyard.
My GGG Grandfather James Kemp was at Mains of Gilgerrie. My GG Grandfather John Kemp married Margaret Emslie, daughter of Harry Emslie and Ann Kemp. He was a tenant at various farms - Mill Maud, Burnside and Boghead of Perkhill. My G Grandfather was James Kemp and he also farmed Boghead of Perkhill. My grandmother was born there.
You'll find stone for most of these people in the Kirkyard. If not related, your ancestors and mine must have known each other very well! Email me direct if you would like to compare notes - *

I have not established a connection for my (wife's) Kemp ancestry back to Lumphannan, but the Christian names I have come across for that area match those in my wife's family. Her Kemp connections were from Tough, then Newhills, Belhelvie, Peterculter areas roughly in that order. There is a 'Mitchell Kemp' to be found at http://www.phlomis.plus.com/f_1f6.htm#1 and, again, although I have not established a link to my wife, the anecdotal evidence suggests he is distantly related to her.
The earliest Kemp I have was a James Kemp born C1785 who married a Barbara Lawson. Their first born, William Kemp was born at Kincraigie, Tough after which they appear to have moved to Newhills.
I don't have any Emslie or Reid in the Kemp line.
would be interested to hear what you have on this family and would be happy to share my information with you.

Hello,
I have an ancestor Alexander Kemp who married a Janet Emslie on 9/12/1789 in Rayne.
Known to have a son Alexander and a daughter Janet born circa 1796.
My interest is in the Kemp line which I've traced down through, Old Machar to Dundee and Glasgow.
If you think any of this may be of use to you then please get in touch.
Cheers.

hi my name's tony, my ggg grandparents were william emslie(b.1801) and barbara middleton(b.1801). i am interested in tracing barbara's family through her parents robert and jane/jean(duncan). robert's parents were james and jane(copland).
william emslie was a kirk officer,i wondered if anyone could tell me what this meant exactly.
there are an awful lot of emslies around the lumphanan/aboyne/kin o neil area, i am not surprised that there seems some confusion.

Hi - I am interested in Alexander Emslie who married Christine/Christina Stewart. You posted on 2007 about them. I have a John Stewart Emslie who was born abt 1818 and thought might be their son. I cannot find the family in 1841 - did Alex and Christina die? I looked at Strathdon births but could only find Catherine 1832.
John Stewart Emslie went to australia about 1858 and died there in 1875, unmarried.

The James Kemp, Barbara Lawson you have mentioned are my gggg grandparents and William Kemp is my ggg grandfather. All of these ancestors are on my grandfather's maternal side. His mother was Annie Kemp (daughter of Lauchlan who was the son of William) If you are wiling to share any information you have on James Kemp I would be grateful. I have been trying to find how his parents are and if there were any siblings.
Thanks,
Taramarie

I am doing some research on Emslie for a friend. Her ggggrandfather William Emslie was baptised at Lumphanan on 20 November 1769, his father was also William Emslie, of Brankholm. William married Barbara Kemp in Limphanan on 15 December 1790. I have no record of the deaths of William or Barbara and two possible baptisms for Barbara. Can anybody help?

Hello Glendaveny,

I have an MI from Tannadice, which reads, "Erected by William Elmslie, writer, Edinburgh, in memory of .... his father William late schoolmaster of Tannadice, who died on the 15th day of June 1821 aged 61 ....".
Assuming his age at death is correct, he would have been born in 1770/71. If anyone has any likely candidates I'd love to compare notes.
William Jr died in Edinburgh in 1833, by the way.
