My Anderson Clan were long time dwellers & crofters at the Croft Broombank, (photo attached). There were lots of them & they appear on countless census's ......way into the early 1900's proving thus.
The Croft is still standing & is situated just outside Tarland, to the North East, just off the B9119. Broombank sits on the northern side of the B road, up a hill, not far from from Culsh / Souterrain / Craskins to the south.
The dwelling is located up a farm track leading off to Alamein Farm & then up to Broombank & then further up track, way up the hill is Hillhead.
Does anyone know of any history attached to the farm or in fact anyone who lived there. The main names being George Anderson B. 1933 Logie Coldstone & his wife Isabella (nee Coutts) B. 1853, Auchdoir & their offspring, particularly Annie Elizabeth Anderson, B. Broombank, Tarland 1886...D.1983 & buried in St Moluags, Tarland.
Thanks to all & Regards..... SFA.

Hi SWA
I have ancestors from Tarland. One of them is Ann Anderson who married James Bey. James appears in the 1841 census with his daughter, Christian, living in Tarland, occupation Crofter. Ann must have died before this as there is no mention of her.
As you say there are many Andersons in Tarland. I have been unable to find out anything about her. Does she figure in your family tree at all? She would have been born around 1765 ish. They were married in 1788.
Other names in my tree from Tarland are Smith and Gauld.
Best wishes
Jean

Hello Jean,
Thanks for replying.
Sad to say that your Annie doesn't appear in my tree yet. I've only gone back as far as 1785 with my Anderson tribe, as yet. Most of which came from in & around Logie-Coldstone... until they entered Tarland, although Logie's not a million miles away I know.
I'll bear you in mind as I progress back further....& Rgds.

hiya i have registered to this site because i saw ur post, it turns out that i might be looking for the same people as yourself,one of George Anderson's children was my great grandads mother or at last i think she was its not Annie but its the eldest child Maggie born 1879 in tarland as they all were. in the 1891 census, Maggie was 12 Annie was 5 James was 3 harry was 10 and baby Isabella was 9mth there was another child who's name i can not read because of the writing. i notice it was a while ago that u posted but wondered if u might still use this site and if i am correct in thinking its the same family.not sure if the dates tally thou.

Hello Again,
Glad to be of help. I got the other siblings of Margaret from other Census's 1881-1901 (although Margaret doesn't appear on the 1901 (she must have moved away from home).
You can get this info from http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Its a pay to veiw site and 30 credits cost about £6.00. You can also obtain her birth info from this site. I hold quite a lot of data re the family and have gone quite away back as I've been a gen freak since 1999. I also have an Ancestry.co.uk/.com account and have got limited info from there.
If you reply to this note then you can PM me for any info/help (if I can) you wish........I'll be pleased to assist where possible.
Meanwhile......I am given to understand that Margaret may have died in 1969? & was married with children..... & Regards. (P.S......I'm away in a minute for a few days & will be back at the weekend & I'll reply to you on my return)
-
hello,i have been looking thou Scotland's people to find most of my information (not that i have alot) i couldnt find her on the 1901 census either but she had a baby in 1899 when she was 20 i think before she got married to a Charles rattray i don't think Ive spelt his name right as i cant make it out on the document.
i will pm u with my question.thank you for helping me. :)
-
Hello Ellie,
Thanks for your reply........Did you PM me as I didn't receive it if you did.
Your quite correct regarding her marriage to Charles RATTRAY (marriage abt 1912). Children of the marriage are Charles, James, Nora, Alexander.......all RATTRAY'S. I also believe that she may have been married also to someone called ..........? GREIG. I need to investigate this to establish the facts further.
Do you want any info regarding her siblings and parents?.........& Regards.

regards Ellie.

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
-
that wont be a problem i can get that information for u 2moro.
just a thought,my great grandad Alexander george Anderson was also illegitimate born 1899 to Maggie Anderson your grandmothers sister i think but i have Annie born in 1886 so not sure.Alexander was also living at Walkman farm Lumphanan when he married in 1932 i wonder if he was maybe living with Ur grandmother. he didn't live with his mother and she went off and married someone else.do you know anything about him?
-
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

She also had 2 other children Mary Ann Isabella Dinnie Anderson, by a James Dinnie, if you need any more information i can give you it. Also a son also older than my Mum ( we used to visit him and his family i am still in touch with his daughter) Uncle Sandy (Alexander) he died before my mum about 9 years ago he lived at Moneymusk.

Let me know, apparently we used to visit them at Blairordan (might have to check spelling cannot read my own writing!!) Cottage at Cushnie.
Best Wishes Glenesk
-
hi Glenesk, i had a look throu my info and i only have a James and Maggie as George Anderson's parents but that's to far back, was young Maggie married to a James after Charles maybe?
-
Sorry i put james name instead of Charles, i am going up to Scotland in July so will sort it out then and get things right, sorry.
Glenesk
-
that's OK don't worry about it. :)my only concern would be that Maggie didn't tell her other children about Alexander, i wouldn't want to upset anyone but this mans information would be very helpful if he didint mind sharing it
thank you very much for your help, if i can do anything to help u let me know.
Ellie
-
Dear Ellie,
I could not find out anything about Alexander for you nobody seems to know, i did find Maggies grave stone if you want a photo of it.
I had good luck with my grandad but he had moved away from aberdeenshire which is making it more difficult.
Sorry i have not been much help.
Best Wishes Glenesk
-
that's OK am very grateful that u try ed for me, thank you. am not having any luck with him either.
am glad u have found more on Ur grandad, if u need a hand give me a shout. I'll have to wait for the 1911 census for Alexander but there not available in Scotland till next march.

Hi Jenefer,
I have just seen your message about my grandfather, Frank Ried Glenesk, if you have a photo of him i would love to see it as i have managed to get one when he was about mid to late 60 but it is the only one i have.
Many thanks,
Maggie

Hi SFA,
I'm not related to the Andersons that I know of but came across your posts tonight when I decided to google Alex Anderson, Pittentaggart, Tarland. This is the name I found on a tooled metal cigarette case that I bought from a garage sale in Alberta, Canada about 10 years ago. The date on it is 23rd Mar, 1914.
I Wonder if you (or anyone else) know if any of the Alex Andersons from your family came to Canada and perhaps owned this case?
-
Hello,
My Grandmother was born at Broombank Tarland, she had relations who emigrated to Canada, there is a web site you can look up https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.genealogy.surnames/tFgarq_iBV4 or (*)
I have had the John Gerraths Anderson Family Report some years now so the above may be out of date.
Good Luck
Maggie

Thanks for the reply Maggie16. I noticed that John Gerrath thanked an Alex Anderson for helping with the genealogy so will send John an email - obviously not the same Alex but he could be a grandson. I'd send the case to a descendant if s/he want it. It would be nice to reunite it with the family.
I've become quite fascinated as I've investigated. I never expected such a wealth of information when I googled the name & place on the case!!
