Hi
Can anyone local to Applegarth give me contact details about Applegarth Church. I would like to arrange access to the church on 12th September for a short period. A friend who is visiting from Canada would like to see where her ancestors worshipped. Their burial is in the churchyard.
I tried two email addresses from google search which did not even send. I also googled Mr. Read who I thought was minister but he has moved from the area.

I see they have a facebook page but I do not post on that site.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thanks for your suggestion. You are probably right as they will know what is available.
Thanks

Is anyone familiar with the school records held in Elgin Library. I accessed them a few years back when Libindx was in the school but did not explore whether there was a fische before 1915.
I am researching Alexandrina and Isabella Marr born 1904 and 1901. The record I have is entry 220 and 221 1st March 1915. I was wondering if there are any entries for these two girls prior to 1915. They, along with mum and dad, are recorded as living in Crieff in 1911. Mum, Jessie, died in Elgin on 19th January 1915. In a round about way I am trying to find what happened to Alexander Marr, father. You might think this is an odd way of doing it but I have explored other ways without success. He is not mentioned as deceased on his wife's death certificate. Her brother registered her death. Marriage certificates for the daughters all state father deceased by 1918.
Although Alexander was born 1870 I wonder if he joined up and the family came back to the mothers birth place then died.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. This query has been ongoing for several years.
Thanks
Betty

Hi Sandra

A huge thank you for all that you have looked up and sent me. It is going to take me a wee while to piece it all together but I thank you meantime.

Hi Sandra

When the Reed/Reid side came up I looked back my research on Alexina’s side of the family to see if there was a Charles. No Charles but I found that I had done more research than I had remembered. We had corresponded with a descendant of the brother of Alexina. That was back in 2006 when we first started researching. You have the correct family. Amazing how far we have come since 2006. He lived in Canada.

Thanks for sending this info though. Much appreciated.
