Roxburghshire / Re: Ashkirk Monumental Inscription - George Hog(g)/Margaret Armstrong
« on: Friday 09 March 12 11:38 GMT (UK) »
Many thanks indeed Alan. Was hopeful that the monumental inscription might provide a bit more info than the basic info I had, such as names of children or parents, but sadly this doesn't seem to be the case here.

Roxburghshire / Ashkirk Monumental Inscription - George Hog(g)/Margaret Armstrong
« on: Friday 24 February 12 17:20 GMT (UK) »
Would be extremely grateful if someone was able to post details of the Ashkirk monumental inscription for
George Hog(g) died May 1787, aged 61 and Margaret Armstrong his spouse died April 1810, aged 77 years.
I'm also trying to establish if the above couple is the same couple as George Hog(g) and Mary Armstrong who married 10 July 1762, Ashkirk. George and Mary had a son Walter Hog(g) born abt 1778, Ashkirk. Walter married Margaret Kerr 6 Apr 1806, Wilton.
many thanks,
Langtonian

Fife / Re: Surnames I am Researching in Fife

Thanks Harry.
Eldest son of John Blyth and Margaret Reekie is Peter Blyth b 20 July 1784, Abbotshall which makes me think that parents of John are Peter/Patrick Blyth and Margaret Watson in all likelihood.
Their third recorded daughter is Margaret, with an intriguing gap which could allow for the possibility of an earlier daughter perhaps also named Margaret who would have been their second child and second daughter.
I also note that a Patrik Blyth was born 1638, Dysart, father George, so perhaps a link between this individual and the Patrick Blyths of Abbotshall.
Incidentally Margaret Reekie and her family are from St Monance parish, parents John Reekie and Mary Nicholson. Mary had a brother, John Reekie, who married a Janet Anderson which might be of interest and perhaps a link to the Dysart Anderson families.
I seem to recall that the building of the Great Michael is reputed to have involved the felling of virtually all the trees in Fife so it was certainly one large carpentry project!!

George

Hello again Harry.
I was very interested in your Blyth family postings and am looking to see if there is a connection with my Abbotshall Blyth families.
I have John Blyth married to Margaret Reekie, 22 Jan 1780, Abbotshall. I'm decended through their daughter Agnes Blyth who married Simon Young 5 Dec 1807, Abbotshall.
I have Peter Blyth and Margaret Watson as possible parents of the above John and any info you have that would confirm this (or otherwise) would be great.
Regards,
George
