Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen place names?
« on: Thursday 11 February 10 00:37 GMT (UK)  »
I have been looking up the places that my ancestors lived--Bogbrae, Clochtow, and New Clochtow, etc., and when I find them one google maps most of these places are a house and some out buildings nothing that would be considered a village or a hamlet. Can I assume that these are the names of the farms and that only one family lived there? And if they are the name of the farm would the people that are farming them be tenants? Most of the records I have indicate that they are tenant farmers-I'm assuming not the land owner, so how would I find out who owned the land.
Thanks

I read your posting and I am also researching this Bowman line. Thomas Bowman in your burial record is my 3rd Great Grandfather. If you have information to share I would be interested. Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Bebo, so no it wasn't me.

Berwickshire / William Allan, Duns Police Constable
« on: Monday 01 February 10 02:32 GMT (UK)  »
Anyone know where to find pre 1900 information on police constables? I have tried Duns, Berwickshire, and the Borders for information but they do not have anything before 1900. My Great Grandfather, William Allan, was police constable in Duns from about 1888 to the early 1920's. I was hoping to find a possible picture of him from his police service.
Thanks

Aberdeenshire / Bowman's from Bogbrae

Hello,

I'm researching my Bowman line that lived in Bogbrae. I have traced back to Thomas Bowman and Janet Massie and presently working my way further. I would be interested in any information on the Bowman's of Bogbrae as well as any information on Bogbrae.

Thanks
