Thank you so much for your suggestions!! I apologize for not answering before now, I was caught up in the big Genealogy Do-over. So intense and a lot of work! LOL I do appreciate these suggestions so with some new ideas and tools I learned maybe I can find her or at least some more leads or information. :)

Aberdeenshire / Ann SMITH adopted daughter

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on tracking down Ann SMITH. In researching my SCOTT family I was looking at the 1901 Scotland Census and in addition the James SCOTT and his wife Louisa and their 5 children there was an Ann S SCOTT - adopted daur -age: 3 mos born in Aberdeen and then in the 1911 Scotland Census with James SCOTT and family she is listed as Annie SMITH - Niece age 9 born in Aberdeen.
I cannot find her birth record, I have looked at Scotlands People and have looked at some of what I felt were the most likely records and found nothing familiar and I have run out of credits. LOL I checked Family Search and found nothing. Ancestry can't find anything matching this information.
Would there be any other places I could look? Something I missed? I have also looked for her as Ann SCOTT and Ann MILNE(Louisa's maiden name) Again I have checked some of what I felt were likely but will need tons of credits to check them all. LOL  I am curious as to if she is actually related or if they may have taken in a child of a friend, also to find out what might have become of her.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Kim

Hello scottiegirl44,

Do you have John SCOTT's dob/dod please? I am researching my SCOTT FT also and I was wondering if he fits onto my tree somewhere.

Hi AJSott,

My John Scott was born Dec 29 1807 and died 5 Nov 1857. He was a crofter. He also had a son John Scott born in 1857 outside of wedlock with Rachel.
If you think we may have some of the same people in our tree pm me and I can send you more info. I also have some extra Scott info from Scotlands People that don't match my line but may match yours.

Thank you again Loobylooayr and FLST!!!!  That was a ton of interesting information. I have spent the last couple of days reading though all the information. Very fascinating. I really appreciate all your help.

Annette7 Thank you so much for the information! It is interesting about Isabella Mutch as I keepnseeing that last name in the same areas as the Scott's. It seems Barbara was a busy woman. Where did you find all the information? Scotland's People?? I definitely need to buy more credits. Thank you for sharing. Do we have any common relatives?

Anyway, you all have helped me so much!! Thank you all again.

Loobylooayr, that is very interesting too. I wonder why the Ogston family were given that honour? Family friends? Previous employer? 

I looked at the 1841 Scotland Census for New Deer and Tyrie. There are only 2 Paterson men of an age to have children. In New Deer is Fullerton Paterson, age 60, of the Manse of Artamford and he was the  Minister(United Presb. Congr.) or George Paterson, age 45, who was a farmer in Tyrie and the address was Nethermill. Both men were married and had children. Fullerton had a servant listed on the census but George didn't. In Aberdeenshire as a whole there are more Paterson's of an age but I am not sure how far they would have travelled to work? Barbara Ironside was listed as a domestic servant. In the 1841 Census their address was Nethermuir, New Deer. I googled both men but found nothing at all and nothing untoward in their behavior.
  I am beginning to think that I am going to need to see the Kirk Sessions to figure this out. Nowhere so far have I found any reference to Rachel Paterson's birth.  I am surprised there is no birth record at all for her. Ah, the thrill of the hunt!

Thanks FLST! That was very interesting. This is the first time any of my ancestors has been  involved in the poor lodgings so I am not that familiar with the details of how it works. Are the lodgings like a hospital or like little apartments. Do they work during the day, do chores? Or would  they be incapable of work for whatever reason?

I will have to buy more credits for Scotland's People. I always tend to go through them quickly. Love that site. LOL

Wow!! This got interesting fast!! ) Looby, I believe that is probably the correct Barbara Ironside as the age would be close. I always kind of wondered why Rachel's boys would have such interesting middle names that didnt seem to fit  any people I had discovered.

Ev, that could be her and would explain where she got the name Rachel, for her sister.

It seems the plot thickens. Now I have to wonder how Ogstone plays into the names. Maybe a step dad? Sounds like the kirk sessions are a nightmare but if I want to find her birth and who her father was I may have to try.

Thanks GR2. are you saying that I can look them up on the computer or do I have to go to the Archives in person? I live in Canada so it won't be feasible to visit for a few years.

Thanks loobylooayr. I got the certificate off Scotland's People. Rachel died in 1904. The other information such as her husband John Scott (crofter) pre-deceased her and her son William Scott was the informant and she did have a son named William. Before she married she was using the Paterson last name so there is a link somewhere.
