Clackmannanshire / DICKIE, Menstrie
« on: Wednesday 15 April 09 19:18 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the DICKIE families that lived in Menstrie from at least 1808 until 1951. Various generations owned the public house now known as the Holly Tree from the mid 1800's until 1914.

Would really like to make contact with anyone who has a connection. Or can point me in the direction of any local hisory sources or any period photographs of Menstrie.

I should have said Annie died in Buenos Aires in 1941 and John in London in 1948 and Anne Harper in Glasgow in 1910

I suspect only Annie Harper is buried in the grave. Annie was her daughter, she died following a riding accident in Buenos Aires, where she had lived since 1930, and was buried in the Chacarita Cemetery there - she was only 36. John Dickie was her husband, he died in London, but I do not know for sure what happened to his body.

Kind regards

Steve

Hi Lora

Is there any chance you will be returning in the near future? I am looking for a stone commemorating Annie Harper (d 1910) and John Dickie, which according to a certificate in possession of a relative is "Compartment N Lair no. 605" purchased in Feb 1910.

It would be wonderful if it was there

Steve
