Fife / Re: Looking for the KEY family & brewing in FIFE
« on: Thursday 07 August 14 21:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jo,
My great grandfather is Alex Key.I have loads of info on the Key family and some photographs too. My grandfather Ernest, awas the eldest son of Alex Key and Emily Gover.The Govers go back quite a way to Lewis Gover in Corfe.
About 5-7 years ago I spent a lot of time on the internet carrying out my research.
 I have Thomas Key's excise office  records, which are quite interesting.  We were always told that he'd caught pneumonia while out hunting down smugglers, when in fact he died in 1861 of consumption! His family were left pretty destitute by all accounts.
He and Agnes had 11 children.
Hope this is of help
Jill

Thomas Key is my great great grandfather and the 7Th surviving child of 8 that James Key and Barbara Christie had. He was born in 1805 as you say and I have copy of his christening record.
 His father James Key christened24/01/1762in St Andrews to a Thomas Key and Helen Durie. Thomas Key was a brewer and maltman and a freeman of  st Andrews. I have taken the Key family back to a Robert Key1615 in St Andrews.
 Hope this is of help. Would be interested to know which line of the Keys you are researching. If I can be of any more help please ask.
Regards

Well I didn't expect any replies to my ridiculous request, but many thanks to you all. At least I now have some siblings for Edward.
By the way I have a photograph of the said Edward and he looks a formidable figure !!
Many Thanks again
