Wow, super sleuthing, Forfarian!

Well done. Great to be able to see in your pictures the actual building too. A bit hedgy, but those turreted windows so distinctively poking out!

A bit hedgy

Far too hedgy, if you ask me! Impossible to get a shot from the same viewpoint :(

I'd hate to have a great thick dark hedge so close to my door and windows blocking out the light.

The question now is, has Anne Norman seen them?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Anne doesn't seem to have been on RC since Monday. Sure she will be thrilled when she logs back on  ;)

You have all been a big help in trying to solve my problem. I had looked on different maps and photo sites and couldn't find the correct configuration of street and kirk. Guess that was my problem as I was only thinking of the building at the end of the street as being a church. I had thought it may have been taken in Old Deer but none of that seemed to match either. Will go back to my photo and try and date match the type of photo. Very thin glossy paper pasted on board. That might be the best way of dating the street. Any ideas on who would have taken photos in this area. Was there a photography studio in Old Deer or would someone travel the district from a larger center.
Cheers

This is an alternative view...
Old picture postcard of South/Duke Street.
Maybe 1920's

Hello, Anne.  I can't help you with the church photo, but was excited to see you mention my great grandmother's family.  She was Robert's sister,  Anne Gall Herd, and immigrated to New Zealand in 1874 on the same ship as my ggrandfather, George Anderson, from Old Deer whom she married upon arrival.  Are you interested in hearing about the New Zealand connection?

Yes nfmcc I would love to make contact and exchange family details . Have you seen the wedding photo I posted under the title "another photo from the Robert Hard album". It would be amazing if it was Ann Gall. As jet I haven't been able to find out which family member it is getting married. The older couple behind the bride and groom is Thomas and Mary. Look forward to hearing more from you.
