Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Samuel Fraser
« on: Friday 18 October 19 03:40 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to view the death and burial records for my g grandfather, Samuel Fraser, died 27 April 1928 at the British Hotel, Gouray, Jersey. He is listed as Samuel Frazer on the Islandwiki page. The record number, presumably for his burial, is 14177, page 199 under Croad's burials. Sadly, I can't afford to pay for an annual subscription to access one or two records at the Jersey Heritage page (I am quite certain I won't need to access anything else).
If anyone can assist me, I'd be eternally grateful; it has taken me 20 years to find this Liverpudlian with a stage name/alias.

I'm confused though, although it states Ardrennich was once a much larger area, Moy is quite a ways from Belladrum. If Ardrennich extended to Belladrum, then why weren't more people listed as born in Ardrennich (such as all the folks born in between those two places)?

Ardrenich = Moy

https://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/beauly/pdfs/SURVY1.pdf
ARDRANNICH # (5840)
KILTARLITY & CONVINTH(KCV), CONVINTH(CTX) Settlement NH516414 (Accurate position) 45m
duabus Moys vulg. nuncup. Arddranich 1511 NLS Dep. 327, 59/2 [Original of the charter confirmed by the king and printed RMS ii no. 3602. Occurs as Arddranich thrice.]
Ardranich 1511 RMS, ii no. 3602 [Other source details: John Ogilvie de Laveroklaw sells to Thomas lord Fraser de Lovet and his heirs and assignees: i.e. 'terras suas de duabus Moys vulgariter nuncupat. Ardranich ;' In the original charter of John Ogilvie (NLS Dep. 327/51.2) it is written Arddranich (thrice).]
Ardrene 1655 NLS Dep. 327, 44/1 [RMS x no. 406 has Ardiene.]
Ardranniche 1681 Chisholm Writs, no. 521 [Disposition by Wm. Fraser oy and
apparent heir to William Fraser of Kilbockie, in favour of Alex. Cheisholme of Comer, who has paid 'several of my creditors .... of my urgent and necessary affairs',...... annual rent of 20 merks from the davach land of Grome and Fingask and from the east part of a davochland of Ardranniche commonly called Moy.]
Ardrynich 1799x1800 Brown Plans, no. 25 Ardrennich 1852 RHP3650
(Alias) Moy
G àirde; G raithneach (Probable) Notes associated with name:
'Height of bracken'? According to a charter of 1511 this is the alternative name for 'two Moys', and so most likely refers to the 2 davochs called Moy of 1220 x 1221 (Mor. Reg. nos. 21, 51). Thus Ardrannich is a large territory, and much reduced by the time it is mapped as a newly laid out farm in the mid-19th century (RHP3608, on which the NGR NH516414 is based). The height in the name most likely refers to the low ridge between Tomnacross and Belladrum, east of the A833 and west of the Belladrum Burn. Note that in 1681 mention is made of an annual rent of 20 merks from the davach land of Grome and Fingask and from the east part of a davochland of Ardranniche commonly called Moy (Chisholm Writs no. 521).

I'm looking for Ardrenick/Ardrenich too. There was/is an Airddrean, but I'm inclined to think it's Ardrennan
As for "Gomnacroish" with an added drop/smudge of ink, I think it's Tomnacross. What we see as a "G" may be a "T" with a flourish - compare it to the rest of the page if you can. The "G" in Gow does look different.
Even Gow could be Euen and could well be related. There are "Fraser Gow" families as well as "Fraser Lee"
And the last one...Breakachy perhaps? Again, Ill keep looking.
Loanichkime/Lonvickime is near Camault Muir, "Sawmill" is at Aigas. Cottartown was next to Achnamoin and both were near the Sawmill at Aigas.
I'm working on "Balln[whatever the heck that is]aiban.
I also have some Camerons on the go but am not sure they're mine yet.

BTW, I appear to be a distant match to a number of Frasers or descendants which all lead back to Kiltarlity. My paternal grandmother was a Fraser.
My John (Simon) Fraser, b abt 1796, Tailor, 12 Telford St, m 1818 Inverness, Janet McIntosh, Green of Muirton. They had nine children: William 1819, Eliz 1821, John 1824, Simon 1826, John Simon 1828, Thomas 1830, Janet 1833, James 1836, John Simon 1839 (from 1842 death).
Ninth child, John Simon, may have been b in Liverpool where John and Janet moved to between 1836 and 1839. All others b Inverness, INV.
Janet McIntosh Fraser died in Liverpool in 1839. John remarried in 1841 to Hannah McLandsburgh/Landsborough. His father was then named as "William Fraser, Labourer, deceased"

There appears to be two Balchraggans - one near Abriachan, and the other near Moniack. Am I correct in assuming this one refers to the Moniack area?

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: family at Bishopwearmouth, Durham
« on: Wednesday 13 February 13 08:11 GMT (UK)  »
thanks diddymiller,   I found the other 2 children b. 1790 alice, william b.1792, when I got Richards details b. 1808, it stated he was the 4th son, so I only have william & Ralph.  Do you know of an other son.
Also trying to find parents ralph & Mary's birth,  Ralph b.at Unthank nr stanhope durham, & Mary b. in Hetton durham.  As son Ralph worked or owned a Farm throughout his life, possible his father also was a farmer, & Unthank was not a very big place.

Alice 1790
William 1792
Ralph 1795
William 1804
Jane 1805
Richard 1809

I'm looking for Henry Ferrys parents...haven't figured out the Kirtley connection yet, or what kind of "uncle" Ralph is.

Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: Jane McNaught, CASTLE DOUGLAS 1823 - 1846
« on: Friday 09 March 12 17:31 GMT (UK)  »
Pardon me, I seem to have gotten mixed up there - never mind :)

But, I am after these KKD families - Urr, Balmaghie, and Parton (for future reference):

Shennen/Shannon/Shannen, Janet m pr bef 1752, Wm Gledrie (children: John 1752, David 1754, Wm 1761, Janet 1763, Andrew 1767, Mary 1771)

McNaught/McKnight, Robert, alive in 1827, s/o Janet Gledrie 1763 (Janet later m John McCartney and had two daus).

McLandsburgh/McLandsborough/Landsborough, Samuel, m1 Mary Gledrie b 1771 (children: Wm 1795, Andrew 1797, John 1798, Janet 1800, Mary 1803, Euphemia 1805, Hannah 1805, Agnes Kissock 1810).

Samuel m2 Urr KKD 1815, Garmory/Germerie/Gomery, Agnes, b 1776 Parton d 1848 West Derby LAN (children: Samuel 1816, Isabella 1819, Marion 1819, m James Gledrie s/o Capt John Gledrie and Jane Eilbeck). Agnes was dau of a William Garmory.

BTW, Garmory is somehow associated with, or a derivative of, the Montgomery name.
A fair portion of these folks are mentioned in John Gledrie 1827 Castle Douglas KKD testament and ended up in Liverpool LAN.
