Aberdeenshire / Re: Gordons of Craig Castle Rhynie
« on: Friday 02 November 07 14:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Brian John,

     Do you have any further information of John Gordon Lumsden Shirrefs, I think he had 3 sons to Elizabeth Cree.

     He married Elsie Spring in 1897 and had James & Ian, although we have a birth certificate for James born in Aberdeen 1898, we have no other record at all, he may have died as an infant, we are unsure.

  We also have John Gordon Lumsden Shirrefs as an officer in the 16th lancers, again we cannot find anything to confirm this, his surname quite possibly could be Gordon during his time with the military.

Can you help with any of this.


rgds,
Jean Gordon

Hi Ann,

  I stated the birth date of James  date as 1998, this should have read 1898.

Also the Marraige should have read1897

Hi Ann,

    Thank you for your reply.

The date of John Lumsden Gordon Shirrefs marriage to Elsie Spring was April 1897 in the district of Marleybone.
The address given was Knowsie House, Aberdeenshire

They had a son Ian Lional Victor Lumsden Gordon Shirrefs in 1901 in Hastings, this is our relative.

They also had a son James (Francis? ) born approx. 1898, this is the relative I cannot find any information on, he may have died in infancy, all I have is a birth certificate.

If you could help it would be appreciated.

Jean

Hi Jim,

Do not know if this is of any help to you but in a booklet that I have which lists some obit's for the Aberdeen area for the 1840-1854 period I have come across the following.

Alexander Lumsden Sherifs died 9th december 1853. He was aged 56 and his death took place at Blervie House near Forres. It also states that he was "of Blairmormond".

John Lumsden Sherifs  died 11th May 1852 aged 57 of Blairmormond.

Also there is a James Sherriffs who died on 3rd October 1852 aged 103 at Milltown of Kimnay.

These are the only Sherifs that are noted in the booklet. Hope it is of some help.

I think You have found some of our relatives,  John Lumsden Shirrefs would be my husbands G/G/G Grandfather who resided at Blairmormond.

Thanks for that, this helps a lot.

My husbands great grandfather was James's son John Lumsden Gordon Shirrefs, (married to Elsie Spring and previously married to Elizabeth Cree)

If anyone can help with any information regarding John Lumsden Gordon Shirrefs, it would be most helpful.

Thanks a lot,

I think I may be a relative, my grandmother was Isabella Pearce  who married Alexander Learmond in Innerleithen,  they had 11 children. I was told my great uncle was the Pearce who had the lemonade business.   I am also in possession of a picture of the first lemonade lorry in Innerleithen.    I have birth certificates if you wish to view.

Please let me know if this is of any help.

rgds,
Jean
