Hello Ellie

If you could let me have that information it would be great.  My mum was illegitimate and did not like talking about her dad so i don't know anything about him only his name and i believe his family might have owned a hotel locally.

We used to visit Annie on our visits up to scotland but i only found out she was my grandmother when i was about 16. She lived and worked at Waulkmill Farm somewhere in aberdeenshire.

Thankyou

Regards Glenesk

Hi Ellie

I have just had some more information that my grandmother was Annie Elizabeth Thomson Collie Anderson  so i must be related to the other gentleman on this site very exiting!

I have been trying to remember i think we visited a Auntie Maggie also we visited a Aunty Isa spelling might be wrong she could be Isabella she was on a farm living with her daughter.  I am sorry i don't know anything about Alexander but if i do find out anything i will let you know.

Keep seaching best wishes Glenesk
