Aberdeenshire / Joseph Shand & William Shand brothers?
« on: Thursday 21 January 21 07:24 GMT (UK)  »
I need help with my 3xG Grandfather Joseph Shand b1790 Rathen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and his brother William Shand.

This is his timeline.
1790 born Rathen to William Shand b1750 Methlick and Isabel Bruce b1751 Tyrie, Aberdeenshire. Married 1778 in Rathen.
1826 marriage to Ann Yule in Montreal, Quebec
1830 marriage to Jesse Ann Gray in Montreal, Quebec
1861 death Noyan, Quebec, Canada

I have recently found info about Joseph being contractor in Montreal, Quebec and working with his brother William Shand. I have William Shand's death cert in 1832 in Montreal, Quebec aged 52. If correct, then he would have been born in 1780. The family has a headstone where it lists a William Shand died in infancy.

So,my question is are they brothers? I have no birth record on William Shand. No info on a William Shand until approx 1810 in Montreal. A William Shand was on Joseph Shand's marriage records. Any help on finding anything on William Shand in Scotland would greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Alexander Shand OPRs
« on: Monday 26 October 20 05:35 GMT (UK)  »
Need Help with a few Alexander Shand OPRs from Methlick.

There is no name listed. Is this common?
It lists Alexander Shand Elder in Little Ardo. Does that mean Elder as is the older Alexander vs a younger Alexander or Senior vs Junior?

Can someone help with this OPR? It is the baptism record for George Shand. On the same doc is Alexander Shand as a witness to a Wilson birth. I understand most of it but always miss something and want to be sure.

Thank you in advance.
