Hello Ruth,
     I have some information about James Coynach you mention in Reply 4.
     James Coynach/Coyndoch/Cynach/Kynoch married twice & his Death Certificate says:
     James Kynoch (Married to 1.Mary Mitchell. 2.Margaret Milne) died 17th Aug, 1891 at Bush Cottage, Gordons Mills, Old Aberdeen age 79yrs. Son of John Kynoch (Master Tailor) & Janet Kynoch ms McKenzie. Informant was Alexander Massie, Son-in-law. [168/04 0027]
     I've not found a marriage for James & Margaret Milne but 1851 Census they are at Westerton of Invereddie, Longside.
          James Kynoch  37  b Peterhead.
          Margaret  "       38  b Longside.
          Margaret  "         9  b Old Deer.
          Younson   "         2  b Longside.
     Not found a birth for dau Margaret, but I think she is the 2month old Margaret Coynack on 1841 Census with James & Mary (Mitchell)
     (Younson/Youngson Coyndoch, son of James Coyndoch & Margaret Milne, was born 4th Feb,1849 at Longside)
     1861 Census. Todholehills, Longside.
          James Cynoch 48 Farm Servant b Inverness? Boarding with employer Alexr. Keith & family, while wife Margaret Coynock 48, Youngson 12 & dau Hellen are at Nether Kinmundy, Longside.
    (Helen Barron Coyndoch, dau of James Coyndoch & Margaret Milne was born 16th Jan, 1853 at Longside)
     1871 Census. Kinmundie, Longside.
          James Kynoch 59, Margaret 58, Youngson 22, Hellen 18 & G.dau Hellen M[assie] Kynoch 6months.
     1881 Census. School Lane, Old Machar.
          James Kynoch 71, Margaret Kynoch 68.
     1891 Census. Bush Cottage, Old Machar.
          James Kynoch 79 & Margaret Kynoch 78 are living with daughter Helen & son-in-law Alexander Massie. (Informant on James' Death Certificate)
     I'm afraid I don't have any information about Mary Mitchell or James & Mary's children. I assume Mary died 1841-1847. (Only found 1841 Census today, thanks to your post)
     Youngson Kynoch emigrated to USA & died there in 1924 aged 75yrs. Dau, Helen Massie ms Kynoch died 1926 in Old Aberdeen aged 73.
     Margaret Kynoch, Widow of James Kynoch died 12th June 1897 at College Bounds, Old Aberdeen age 85yrs. She was born 3rd Apr 1813 at Longside to John Milne, Crofter & his wife Jane/Jean Smith, who were my husband's 2xG.Grandparents.
               Regards,     Dod.

Thanks Dod - that's excellent information - and explains why I couldn't find any further trace of them after 1841 - and believe me, I tried as many variants of Coynach as I could reasonably think of at the time

Mmm - you may well be on to something there - although there are a lot of Mitchells around these parts  Definitely worth pursuing though... I'll see where it leads...

I'm afraid I don't have any information about Mary Mitchell or James & Mary's children.

Thanks to Dod's pointer, I've now managed to track down three of Mary Mitchell and James Coynach/Kynoch's children:

• John Coynach/Kynoch (b. abt 1835, Old Deer) - I can't find him at all between 1851 and 1871, but he turns up in Edinburgh in 1881 and 1891, and in Lasswade, Midlothian in 1901. He was a plasterer and, according to his death record, never married. He died in the poor house in New Deer in 1914.
• Margaret Coynach/Kynoch (b. abt 1841, Old Deer) - Margaret married James Burr, a farm servant from Gamrie, Banffshire, in 1863. They had nine children. Margaret died in Strichen in 1909.
• Mary Ann Coynach/Kynoch (b. abt 1839, Old Deer) - Mary Ann married William Sharp Sim, a farm servant from Aberdour, in 1860 in Strichen. I've found two daughters for them so far, but I suspect there may be others. They're in Elgin in 1901, but I haven't tracked down a death for Mary Ann yet.

No sign of Jessie/Janet Coynach/Kynoch yet, but three out of four isn't bad...
