Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: ballater or tarland
« on: Wednesday 25 October 23 19:58 BST (UK) »
Hi Ann, Ethel did live near Oban she was there from about 1935, she married (William McBain) in Tarland. Ethel's eldest daughter who was my gran(Connie) was born in 1930 whilst they were still in Aberdeenshire and remembered vividly going to visit Frances quite often. Ethel and my great grandad (William McBain) actually met as he worked for frances. Over the time I've been doing the research I've managed to speak to a few distant family relations and nobody knew anything of Ethel but I know all of Frances' children when they became adults all went over to Canada apart from Lily. It would seem there were a few secrets in the family as I know for sure Ethel believed James and Frances were her parents until she was about 13 years old. What surprised me was that Ethel was originally named lily but about six months after she was born her birth certificate was updated with the name change (Ethel). I do have a photo of Frances with Ethel and Connie (my gran) and an unnamed man which I'll send you in a message.

Hi Ann, I've been researching my great grandmother's family, she was called Ethel Peters she was the daughter of Lilly's brother Alexander but was brought up by her grandparents James and Frances Peters. We know Alexander emigrated to Canada and as far as I'm aware she had no contact with her mother (Elizabeth Morrison). I know Ethel kept in touch with Lilly's brother Joe after Frances died. Did you or anyone in the family know of Ethel ?
