Todd family of Logie Pert

[Mark Todd]

Hi
I`m new here
looking for information about William Todd who was married to Catherine Christie on the 25/05/1826 in Marykirk I am tracing back my bloodline and have come to an abrupt end with William I believe he was born in 1806 and his profession was a ploughman/agricultural labourer
and living in upper gallery in Logie Pert. Catherine came from North Craigo  any help would be much appreciated

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

Do you know when he died?  If he died 1855 or later, his death cert will show his parents names and his mothers maiden name

According to the 1851 and 1861 census - both William & Catherine were born in Fettercairn in Kincardine

1851 for North Craigo Logie Pert - all b Fettercairn except George

Many thanks  CaroleW the Todd family I am looking for are indeed your reply #4 yesterday I`ve traced William Todd snr  via his son William`s death certificate which gives the names of both parents both married and mothers maiden name.His son died in St.Vigleans Arbroath. William Snr
younger daughter Betsey or Betsy married William Watson a Farmer both were laid to rest in Marykirk graveyard. There is a reference to a place called Fetteresso but I am unable to find this
anywhere could Fetteresso be Fettercairn ? I am unable to find William Snr`s death nor for that matter Cathrine his wife, I had discounted the 1851 census records as there was a 4 year difference in the ages and the family size

CaroleW spot on!

William Todd lived to a good old age - 92!   He died in Montrose 12/2/1894 - shown as widower of Catherine Christie, informant son James.   Parents given as Alexander Todd, Linen Weaver (deceased) and Elizabeth Todd, nee Clark (deceased).

No more credits left so can't check to see when Catherine died who predeceased him but presumably in Montrose.
