South Africa / Thiele - East London
« on: Saturday 23 May 09 15:06 BST (UK)  »
I am trying find more information on my great grandfather on my moms side. He was William August Charles Thiele born 21 Sep 1876. He married a Maria Magdalene. Their children were Doris Olive Ethel [my gran] Millie and Dennis.

I have little info on him other than a baptism certificate for my gran that states she was baptised in East London in 1908. I was told recently that he was  born on a German ship coming to South Africa and hence he was considered to be a German. I have tried to find a ship for that year but without success. This info would help me to locate his parents.

Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks

Scotland / Rae Mitchel Milne
« on: Sunday 01 February 09 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
I have just received information from a cousin that has details of her family tree that links to mine. In it she has William Rae (2/8/1807-8/7/1892) and Christiana Mitchell. Christiana's parents were Sylvester Mitchell and Barbara Barrack.

She add that :

William's parents were Alexander Rae (17/11/1737-1833) and Agnes Milne

I am sure if this correct as it implies that his son William was born when he was 70 years old.

Does anyone else have these people in their tree or further details for me please.

Many thanks

Kincardineshire / Mowats of Fallside
« on: Saturday 06 December 08 20:00 GMT (UK)  »
In reading up on the history of the Mowats of Balquholly  I found that a Winwood Mowat became the Laird of Fallside in 1710.

Four of the children born to James Mowat and Christian Lindsay were born at Fallside from 1740 onwards. These are members of my family line.

I am trying to establish what the relationship might have been between Winwood and James or even how James came to be living at Fallside.

Any information no matter how trivial would be welcome.

Many thanks

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / John Rae and Helen Rae b. Butler 1901 census
« on: Sunday 09 November 08 10:13 GMT (UK)  »
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with my great great grandparents John Rae and Helen Butler. I have a 1881 census record of them living at Kintore Place Aberdeen. We have books inscribed with 99 Leslie Terrace sent to our grandfather in 1905 and think it came from them. Thus they may have moved. If it wasn't them then I would love to know who was living in Leslie Terrace Aberdeen in 1901.

Many thanks
Donovan
