I am researching Slessors from the Aberdeenshire area,i have Slessors in Longside,Tyrie,Rathen and Fraserburgh.
-
I've come across a few Slessor/Slessers but have not yet attempted to sort them out. Perhaps others can confirm details or tell us how these folk are really related.
There is a George Slessor born in Longside, 1707 and another in Peterhead, 1681. two marriages for Georges appear at Longside - 1710 with Agnes Findlay and 1717 with Helen Marischall. A bunch of George Slessor children then appear at Longside - Elspet 1711; Jean 1718 then a gap to William 1730 (at Invervedie); John 1734; James 1737.
William Slessor and Margaret Rob then have two children at Old Deer - Margaret 1755 (at Netherkinknockie); Joseph 1759.
Margaret marries (though I've not found a record) Alexander Smith at Cairncummers, Old Deer.
-
I have a whole family tree of Slessors from Peterhead and Longside but im not clever enough to post it on here.It was sent to me by a relative by e-mail and i dont know how to send it on except by e-mail.

Hi Brandon,

Hi
There is a very famous Slessor lady - Mary Mitchell Slessor who was born december 2nd 1848 in Gilcomston, Aberdeen.
She was a missionary in Calabar - west coast of Africa.
there is a book you may be able to get from a library called "Mary Slessor of Calabar" (Pioneer Missionary) by W P Livingstone.
she was an extraordinary woman.
I wish I was related to her and had half her faith!

Hi,
I have just recently found out that I have slessors in my family tree. I was hoping someone might know further details about this family, particularly family further back in time?
Janet Slessor married John Baird on 23/6/1771 and lived in Peterhead.
If anyone has any info I would really appreciate some guidance.

I am a Slessor. My father was born and educated in Aberdeen. His mother was a Rose (Rosie) Slessor but his father is unknown and he kept his mother's surname. I now live in Yorkshire. I do have a family tree going back to the 1600 but only a couple of generations on my father's side.
I would be glad to hear from anyone interested.

I see all these records of Slessors around Cruden Bay and the area but would love to find someone with records of Rosie Slessor b 1897 in Aberdeen. She married a George Crammond b c1890. Or her father Andrew b 1849 in Old Deer, Aberdeen who married Mary Dunbar b 1858 in Laurencekirk.
Rosie gave birth to my father but his father was an unknown Canadian. She had a number of siblings, maybe six or seven including John, William, Laurence.
I believe the Slessors initially arrived in Scotland from Germany and became part of the Clan Gordon but my knowledge of my Scottish forefathers ends there and I would love to be able to fill in more details.
There are a number of famous Slessors besides Mary. There was an Air-Chief Marshal of the RAF, a Managing Director of Harrod's store in London, a BBC Producer and Australia has a famous poet with the name. Any more?
-
Hi, was Andrew the son of William Slessor & his wife Jane Gray? I note there's a submitted entry on familysearch for him. Of course you'll have details of his parentage off his marriage certificate. Anyway, William & Jane are at Blackpots,Old Deer in 1841 census.William 45,Jane 35, Alex.7, Janet 6,Jane 2,Margaret 2 months & there's also a Margaret Simpson aged 11 with them.William Slessor died at Blackpots on 8th January 1864 aged 68 years. He is buried in Old Deer Graveyard. His widow died 5th April 1897 in the West Poor House,Aberdeen. Aged 84,she was the daughter of Jane Bremner & her reputed father was ?Gray.

Hi fist,
Can you tell me any info on william slessor and margaret rainey. I do not have enough info to be totally convinced about their entry on my tree, hence the ? in my last post.
I have absolute confirmation on Robert Slessor & Elizabeth Buchan married on 3rd December 1785 in Cruden.
Mac

I only have a note of 3 children to this couple (there could be more).
Margaret born 9/2/1787,christened 12/2/1787
Robert born 6/12/1789,christened 9/12/1789
Alexander born 6/7/1792,christened 8/7/1792
They were born in Burntbrae. I got the information over 20 years ago from the Old Deer Episcopalian Church records.
Robert married Elspet Yeats on 2/9/1819.They're my husband's gt.gt.gt.gt.grandparents.They had 7 children & appear in the 1841 & 1851 censuses at Clackriach,Old Deer parish. Robert died 26/8/1857 at Maud.
It would appear therefore that your Robert cannot be the the son of William & Margaret. There are several Slessor families mentioned in the records. Can you give me more information on your Robert Slessor?

I would be interested in sharing any information about Slessors in the Aberdeen area especially back from Rosie Slessor b1897. She married a John Crammond. Her parents were Andrew b 1849 and Mary Dunbar b 1858.
-
Hi Billsless, I note you have n't answered my reply dated September 14th. Did I find the correct family or will we have to try & find another Andrew Slessor?
Regards,

-
Sorry I'm getting rather forgetful I think.
I can only go back to Andrew b1849 who married Mary Dunbar b1858.
He was living at 20A Young Street at one time and then moved to 41 Bonaccord Street. They married 01.01.1879.
Their children were Helen b1879, Andrew, Jane, David, William, John, Lawrence, Jesse and Rose b1897. Rose is my g. grandmother.
Apart from this I have no information at present.
Regards
Bill

Hi,if you get the marriage certificate for Andrew & Mary,you'll get details of their parents.

George Warrender and Margaret Slessor were my GGGG grandparents too. Information on them was obtained from the Old Deer Episcopal Records. George's parents were Peter Warrender and Mary Thompson. Margaret Slessor's parents were George Slessor and Janet Jeolly married at Old Deer on 18 July 1765. I have only stumbled upon this site recently and would be interested in finding out more about your family history lines.
My surname is Warrender and my line is through George's son James, his son James, his son George and his son John (my grandfather) who married Isabella Smith Leslie on 6 June 1919.

Hi again Alex,
Now that I have checked I am convinced we are following the same family -
George Warrander m Margaret Slessor in 1793
Their son James married Isabella Cobban in 1824
Their son James married Jean Greig in 1853
Their son George (your GGGGgrandfather) is the brother of my GGGGgrandfather Alexander Marr Warrander.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi & welcome to rootschat,
I'm interested in the Isabella Cobban who married James Warrender. Have you details of her parentage? I've got a few Cobban lines in my family trees. It would be great to find a connection.!
By the way, can you please remove your email address (by modifying it) from your post? If you click on this link it will explain why.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,123033.0.html
Kind regards,
flst :)
-
Not sure how to modify anything on here but I will keep trying.
Isabella Cobban dau of George & Elizabeth Cobban (nee Henry) was ch 18 July 1797 in Lonmay. Her siblings were Margaret ch 1801, George ch 1803, Anne ch 1805, William ch 1807 all in Lonmay. Isabella Cobban married James Warrander in 1824. Their issue - Anne ch 5 Aug 1824 Died 29 Mar 1904, James ch 26 Nov 1826 Died 27 Oct 1901, Elizabeth ch 6 Jan 1833 Died 22 July 1904 & George born 1834 / ch 1837 Died 13 June 1915.
Hope this helps.
-
Hi Karen,
Thanks for replying so quick! I will look into this more thoroughly & let you know what I find. I cannot see a connection with "my " Cobbans just now,but it's worth checking out. Regarding modifying your posts, just go to the post you want to change & click on modify. You can then alter anything you've already printed.

Hi Alex730,
Just found this thread again. We are fairly closely related as my line is George - James - George - James.
If I have counted it correctly we would be... 2nd cousins twice removed - blood relative :)

I am the grandson of Jessie Ogston Slessor, who was the 2nd cousin once removed of James William Slessor Marr. My great-grandfather, Jessie's father, was Alexander Slesser, of Milton of Fisherie, Aberdeenshire. JWS Marr is my 3rd cousin, once removed. I am looking for information about James's immediate family. I know the identities of his parents and grandparents, but I would like to know more about his brothers and sister. I have some information about his marriage and his children, but a lot of the details about his family are difficult to find. Perhaps someone could help me. I live in Australia. My grandmother emigrated to Australia after WWI and married my Australian grandfather on 4 March 1921 in Melbourne.

There is a family of Slessors living in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada, where they own a car dealership. There is also a street named after them. No idea if there is a connection to the Aberdeenshire Slessors. I had always thought it was a Dutch name.....who knew!

I am currently researching Greigs of Cruden, Aberdeenshire; John Greig married Mary Slessor Old Deer 1817, she died Cruden 1879 and was the daughter of Joseph Slessor and Jannet Black of Old Deer.

I believe the Slessors initially arrived in Scotland from Germany and became part of the Clan Gordon but my knowledge of my Scottish forefathers ends there and I would love to be able to fill in more details.
According to G F Black's The Surnames of Scotland the surname Slassor/Slesser/Slessor is an Aberdeenshire surname. He writes, "Robert Sleller (parhaps an error for Slesser), burgess of Aberdeen 1647. in 1696 several Slessors were recorded in the parish of Peterhead .... Sleaster, a Braemar surname in the seventeenth century, is perhaps a variant. The name may be of Dutch origin".
Be very wary of a putative connection to Clan Gordon - check very carefully any sources suggesting this. It smacks of the antics of the 19th and 20th century Brigadoon industry that would have us believe that every Scot, and indeed every Scottish surname, belongs to a clan.
