Aberdeenshire / Re: Houses in Broadsea
« on: Friday 25 August 17 17:47 BST (UK)  »
My 4 x great grandmother was Anne Noble (baptised 16/10/1773 in Broadsea) and her father was James Noble.  I've recently seen some information relating to The Barony Court record of 16/01/1789, which mentions that there were 42 Broadsea fisherman of whom 29 were Nobles, 5 Watts, 1 Lessles, 1 Stephen, 2 Taylors, 3 Crawfords and 1 Mcleman.  Included within the Nobles are 9 William, 9 Andrew, 4 Alexander, 3 Gilbert, 2 John and 2 James.

It's possible that the two James Noble are father and son and the date of the Barony Court record (1789) would suggest that one James may be the father of my Anne and, possibly, the other may be her brother (i.e. the James baptised in 1768 in the OPR). Or possibly father and grandfather?  One James is referred to as 'Gunner'.

Any information welcome to confirm (or otherwise).
Thanks.

There are many descendants of James Kirkwood & Jean Steill via Jean Kirkwood and John Anderson. Jean & John's son, John (born c.1796) married Isobel Shanks and were at Tannoch on the 1841 census.

John & Isabel's son, John (born c. 1816) was at Wester Waterhead on the 1851 census with his wife Catherine (John & Catherine are my 3x great grandparents).

One of John & Catherine's sons, Thomas, (who was born at Waterhead), ended up in Ardrossan, Ayrshire with his 10 children so I would guess there are descendants of James Kirkwood and Jean Steill in this area also.

With regards to my direct line, this ended up in Aberdeenshire when my great grandmother (who had Kirkwood as part of her name) moved to Peterhead when she married my great grandfather.

If you would like any more details let me know.

Hello

James Kirkwood and Jean Steill are my 7 x Great grandparents. My direct line is via their son Thomas (born 1722) who was married to Mary Fleeming.  Thomas and Mary had a daughter, Jean (born 1766) who married John Anderson in 1790 (who are my 5 x Great grandparents).
