Banffshire / John CUY (Cowie- Rover)/Margaret FIDLER 1789 Rathven
« on: Thursday 31 December 20 13:55 GMT (UK) »
My husband's great great grandfather was James Cowie who was born in the Parish of Rathven somewhere between 1789 and 1793. His death registration entry gives his parents as John COWIE 'Rover' (fisherman) and Margaret FIDLER. I have found their marriage in 1789 in the Parish of Rathven (John Cuy/Margaret Fidler) but I cannot find James's baptism or any other children from this marriage.
Does anyone else have this couple in their family tree? Does anyone know where Margaret Fidler might have come from? I cannot find any mention of this surname in the surrounding parishes apart two marriages for a Hannah Fidler - one to a James Cowie in 1799, and one to Cosmo Murray in 1809, both in the Parish of Rathven. Were Hannah and Margaret sisters?
Hannah Fidler and Cosmo Murray had four children baptised in the Parish of Rathven:
Helen 1810
Jean 1812
Mary 1814
Elspet 1817
George 1819
Grateful thanks to anyone who can help.
