Aberdeenshire / Emslie Help Please
« on: Monday 09 July 07 06:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
          just wondering if anybody could help me out with this one, I have a James Emslie (My 4xGrt Grandad)  who apparently served as a butler at Kennethmont Hall, to Sir James Leith. He was said to have served as a batman to Sir James and upon his return to Aberdeenshire, after his military travels, James Emslie was installed as his butler circa 1800. Has anyone any ideas on how to confirm this?
         I do know that my James was a butler as his occupation is listed as butler on his son William's death cert in 1889, another thing there is no mothers name on this death cert, making my James a bit of a mystery. I also have Williams marriage entry 1826 in Clatt to Ann Booth, but no parents names are listed.
Thanx Mat

Hi All,

 I've noticed it's been a bit quiet around here lately and was wondering if you guys could tidy up my Gran and Grandads wedding photo for me please. It was taken in 1936 and is on card, on the back it has the photographer's notes about the colours that had to be used, and in big capital letters " special".
They must of pushed the boat right out for this one "Special " occasion, this is the only colour photo I have of my granddad so any help would be very much appreciated.

 Thanx Mat
