Hi tireur d elite

Sorry for taking so long to come back to you.

I am very interested in your post as you seem to have all the same family names as i do.

As you said in your post, most of these families lived in aberdeenshire for generations especially the Meldrums, Dow's and Davidsons.  The Bain family have actually traced back to Caithness were my GGG Grandfather George Bain was born and they came to Aberdeen in the late1830's early 1840's.

The Robello's are originally from Italy, my GG Grandfather Paulo (Paul) Robello arrived in the UK in the early 1840's, he finally settled in Aberdeen in the early 1850's were he married Mary Ann Mckay in 1853 and they went on to have 8 children, unfortunately only three of these children survived to be adults including my Great  Grandfather Paul Robello who married Helen Bain daughter of Alexander Bain and Agnes Johnston.   

I have alot more information on all of these families, so it would be great to hear form you.

Hi Msh

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

I do have parents for both of them.

In respect of James Horn I have his parents as George E Horn and Elizabeth Shand, I have still confirm this, as these given to me from another researcher of this family.  With respect of Mary Brown I have her parents as John Brown and Jean Craigen, I also know that Jean Craigen's father names was James Craigen.

I have recently did quite a bit of work on these families but i have not fully completed putting it in my family tree, so if you wish I can send the info I have once I have completed.

If you require any other information please let me know.
