Angus (Forfarshire) / Fergusson/Norrie/Forbes

« on: Wednesday 03 June 20 13:34 BST (UK) »

Hi all,

I am looking for any info on my ancestors George M Fergusson (b 1829) who married Mary Norrie-Forbes in Dundee I believe in 1857.
Mary`s parents were John Norrie and Jane Forbes but I have no info on them whatsoever.

I know George and Mary had a daughter Mary also in 1863.

Thanks for any assistance,

Craig

Hi all, I`m just looking for any info at all on my gg grandad Alexander Grant who married Annie Pearce in Guernsey in 1879. As far as I know Alexander was from Dundee and don`t know why he went to Guernsey.
I believe Annie`s parents were Robert Pearce and Sarah Ann Baker but I have no info on them at all.

Any help is much appreciated

Fife / Aerated water and lemonade factory in Cupar

« on: Tuesday 28 May 19 11:40 BST (UK) »

Hello

I wonder if anyone is aware of, or has any information on an aerated water manufacturer and/or lemonade factory that was in Cupar. My ggg grandfather also had factories in Dundee, which I managed to locate and, also in Forfar. It may have been called Nicolls but not 100% certain. I am not sure when he bought the factory but he sold it in 1880. Thanks for any assistance.....

Armed Forces / William Brown and Bridget Elliott

« on: Friday 12 October 18 13:52 BST (UK) »

I`m looking for some info please. My ggg grandmother was born in 1810 to her parents William Brown and Bridget Elliott on a military base somewhere in Spain. Her name is Catherine Brown. I have details on her children and life etc but absolutely nothing on her parents. I dont know anything about when they went across to Spain or when they returned. I know that Bridget returned to Scotland because she died in Edinburgh and that is where her daughter married her husband too. I assume they were originally from Edinburgh before going to Spain..... I dont know whether William died in Spain or returned with Bridget. No idea either what regiment he was in. Bridget died in 1852 and Catherine died in 1898 in Dundee.
Any assistance is much appreciated....
