Banffshire / ANDERSON, Alex'r m. 1831 Elspet Moggach Botriphnie
« on: Monday 15 September 14 02:23 BST (UK)  »
Alexander ANDERSON married Elspet Moggach in Botriphnie, Banffshire in 1831 and they had three children. 

In searching for family information on Elspeth Moggach I found that there are 4 marriages for Elspeth Moggach in Botriphnie beginning shortly after 1800 and with children born to all 4 between 1803 and 1835.

Did she marry someone else first?  My Elspet could also have been any one of the other three, but they could not all be one person as there are overlaps in DOB for children. 

Lots of Alexander ANDERSON(s) born about that time.  Does anyone recognize the connection from their family tree?

Canada / Milne family
« on: Monday 15 September 14 02:10 BST (UK)  »
James Chalmers MILNE m Isabella Fairley b 1859 Scotland, emigrated to Canada with children before 1911. Census records show Isabella MILNE with children James, Helen and Constance in Vancouver BC.  Can't find record of marriage, but he is shown as husband on Isabella's death certificate and father of the bride on Constance's marriage information.

In searches I have found a James Chalmers MILNE who was born in Canada and moved to the U.S. I don't think this is the same person as mine married in Scotland as all children born there. Or is this the same person and did he marry twice and change his DOB? - or a family name given to several children in different generations.

Also, looking for info re William MILNE from previous generation (relationship unknown) and Alex'r MILNE either in same gen as James Chalmers, or previous gen with William - Canada or Scotland

Any help on this would be appreciated.  Thanks

Banffshire / GARDEN, Frances m James John Anderson 1860 Botriphnie
« on: Thursday 11 September 14 23:09 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother, Anna Jane ANDERSON b 1881 Keith, is dau of James John ANDERSON and Francess (possibly Frances) GARDEN m 1860 Botriphnie, Banffshire. (from Anna's birth record)  Anna Jane ANDERSON had 3 siblings: Elizabeth (Eliza) b 1860 Botriphnie, Frances Mary b 1868 Keith, and James Alexander b 1878 Hester Chalder.  Anna Jane and James Alexander emigrated to Canada a few years before 1911.

Family memory suggests that Francess had two brothers - Alexander GARDEN (called Sandy) and James GARDEN- no idea when they were born.  Possibly neither was married.

I have not been able to find any information about Frances GARDEN's family and would be glad of any information anyone can provide. 

Alexis :)
