Hi Anne,

Thanks for your prompt help - yes, William Reid was the wife of Margaret Murray - she
was shown as 'deceased' on the Marriage Certificate (3/11/1876) of their son James Reid and Jane Cowie. I've still got a lot of work to do so thanks for your help.

Just last week I found my grandmother (father's side) who went to Canada in 1920 - took me
two years to find out what happened to her and now have all details - quite satisfying.!!

Regards,

Alister

COWIE FAMILY OF BUCKIE/PORTSOY ETC.,

I am trying to trace my relatives on my maternal side and wondering if anyone can fill in any missing details with regards to d.o.b. and other family members. There are just so many Cowies!!

1.   I have a Death Certificate dated 1881 in the name of Janet Cowie and dated 25.10.1881 who was married to William Cowie. Janet was aged 75 yrs at time of registration. Janet’s parents were Alexander Thomson (deceased) and Catherine Thomson (deceased).  Catherine Maiden name was Cowie.
2.   My grandmother was Jeannie Reid (Cowie) who married William Simpson on 16.12.1910
In Portessie. She was 24 yrs and gave her address as 19, Sea View Road, Buckie. They later lived at ‘Earndale’ in Chancellor Road, Buckie which was built for them by his/her grandfather. Jeannie’s parents were James Reid and his wife Jeannie Cowie who’se parents were Alexander Cowie (1831?) and Jane Murray. Alexander’s parents were William Cowie (Codlen) born 1813 and his wife was Janet Thomson (1806-1881). Janet Thomson’s parents were Alexander Thomson (1780 - ) and Catherine Cowie (1780 -).
Jane Murray’s parents were George Murray and Helen Murray.

3.   My grandfather was (as above) was William Simspon who’se parents were William    Simpson (1843-1925) and J. Geddes (Foskie) (1848-1916). William’s parents were James David Simpson (1806-1893) and Jane Farquar (1819-1890). James David Simpson’s parents were Andrew Simpson and Jane Murray. Jane Farquar’s parents were William Farquar and Jane Baikie.

I know that all of the above is a bit of a ‘mouthful’ but if anyone can help with any information relative to dates of birth/death and any other information that you have I’d be obliged.

I am trying to find details of the above-named. He was married to Fariba Mohajeri during Jul/Aug/Sep - 1979 in Bristol and died there early 2010. He was born in Ayr, Scotland 1940 and I have to obtain a birth certificate from Scotland's People.

Any info of any description would be helpful.

The above-named is reputed to have died at the Mental Asylum in Lochgilphead, Argyllshire - dates must be between 1900 and 1960. Does anyone know if public have access to such records ?
