Hi JJ,
thanks for info but i'm still in trouble trying to send a personal message. what is AVATAR I'm getting on in years and computing is a new language to me. Thanks also for the advice about not sending a live e-mail.

Hi Ryan,
Yes I would be interested. I used my data to prepare an article for our Family History Society of Buchan newsletter. I'll send you all the info I've got. It will probably be best to send 3 or 4 files at a time so as not to overload the system. How can we use our Email addresses to send personal messages and keep our info secure?

US Lookup Requests / Charles W Watson
« on: Monday 03 October 11 20:37 BST (UK) »
Hi Folks I'm looking for some help in finding the marriage of Charles W Watson b. 03 Dec 1891 in Boston Ma. On the 1910 census he is shown as single and living at San Francisco Assembly District 37, San Francisco, California. On the 1920 census he is shown as married with spouse's name Dorothy M Watson and living in District 32. Can anyone identify Dorothy's maiden name and date and place of the wedding?

Aberdeenshire / Re: Building of the break water Peterhead may be you will find some of your family

Hi again Leanora,
I'll do as you suggest after I get back from holiday. We actually have a wooden block model of the breakwater which we are reconstructing at the moment so the plans would be very helpful indeed. We'll send you a photo of the finished article.
Enjoy your holiday,
KRs

Hi Leanora,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm just going off on holiday myself so there is no rush to get back to me. I'm afraid that all the divers I knew have all passed on, although the daughter of one of them lives only 50 yards from me. Our society is a registered charity and I don't know which fees you are referring to on our web site, but we charge an annual subscription of £10-00 and charge for publications by the society and other societies on whose behalf we sell family history related items. On a number of our own publications we give half of our profit to charities. On my own book, "Peterhead's Palaces for the People" the money goes to The Scottish Cot Death Trust. The only other fees we charge are for research done by our volunteer helpers for anyone requesting it and reclaiming of any expense incurred.
I look forward very much to seeing your other photos. If it is easier for you to send me a disc I'll be happy to pay for that privilege.

Hi Leanora,
I'm Vice Chairman of the Family History Society of Buchan (www.buchanroots.co.uk ) and I recognise most of the divers and support staff on the photos. I would like your permission to download the photos and put them in our archive. We could even do an article in our quarterly newsletter giving more coverage to the men and the project,

Hi Folks,
Thanks for all the info and web sites you've provided. I really appreciate it -especially the headstones website.
I've checked on Scotlands People and confirmed that George was the illegitimate son of Jane and had no middle name.
The marriage to Bertha Stanley may well be what I'm looking for but more evidence would be needed to confirm this.
I've found a George Wright on Ancestry.co.uk entering Canada from the USA at Niagara Falls on 3rd July 1917 where he is described as a Soldier (along with a batch of other soldiers). His age is given as 30 which would match our George, but again more evidence would be needed. I'm pursuing John Killoh's crossings of the Atlantic at present so may well be back on here with more queries.
My grateful thanks to all. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Canada / John Killoh
« on: Friday 10 June 11 12:28 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me to find details of death for John Killoh born at Cushnie, Banffshire Scotland, on 20 Apr 1870 and his wife Jane Baxter b. at Ellon, Aberdeenshire on 30 Aug 1861.
They emigrated to Hamiota in Manitoba in 1891 and 1890 respectively
Also, did Jane's son George Wright b. 16 August 1886 marry in Canada. If whom, where and when.
