Kincardineshire / Farm Horse Tax Rolls 1797/8 Glenbervie
« on: Tuesday 06 April 21 13:58 BST (UK) »
I have a James Gillespie (5xGG) in these records as having two horses and I assume that he was a ploughman. It is recorded that he was of Habbars or Chabbars in the parish but I have been unable to locate this. I do know that some of the family were at Tannachie which I have found but the location in the taxation records is a mystery. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks for the recommendations. I like to know the background story to my ancestors and have read what to some must be pretty 'obscure' titles such as Grasslands and Graziers in Meath and Early Scottish Hand Loom Weavers. My children shake their heads sometimes!

Thanks. Also handy for movement to England between 1843 when they were married and 1851 when
they appeared on the 1851 Census in Sunderland.

Louth / Cavan to Drogheda
« on: Friday 25 September 20 22:50 BST (UK) »
My 2x ggrandparents John Clark b1810 and Catherine Gartland b.1816 in Drogheda and I am unable to trace any further back. However on my Ancestry DNA links there are lots of connections (distant) to Co.Cavan. Would there have been any significant movement from Co.Cavan to Drogheda in the years prior to c.1800? John was a factory labourer in Sunderland but his son Matthew noted that his father was a linen weaver when he married.
Thanks for any information.

Many thanks. Nothing was reported in local newspapers but I shall check newspapers on Findmypast and see if the ones you noted are covered there. The person who challenged the will died in the local Workhouse (An imbecile).
Thanks for your prompt reply

The Will of an ancestor is appended with the note as follows:
The Right Honourable the President of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division of the said Court having on the 13th day of December 1878 by his final Decree in a certain cause or suit entitled "Henderson against Todd" then defending in the said Court pronounced for the force and validity of the said Will.
It looks very much that a distant relation was challenging the will where Robert Todd left his money to his friends rather than this distant relation. Is there anyway of getting these court records so that I can investigate. One of the witnesses to the Will was a James Wilson Todd who was probably the challenger. Thanks for any suggestions.
