Aberdeenshire / Re: I have hit a brick wall.
« on: Tuesday 02 February 16 17:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I think you and I share an ancestral line. I have an Isabella Hardie b1830 in Elgin, moray Scotland who had an illegitimate daughter Mary Valentine Reid Hardie born 1865 in Aberdeen. The father of Mary was a Hugh Leith. Isabella's parents were William Hardie and Margaret Russell. I am descended from Isabella's sister Margaret b 1815 hi married William Gordon.

Regards

Many thanks Alistair, I too have William's discharge Papers, and agree that the fourth child could well be Mathew, but I also haven't been able to find a death record for him. I am descended from William's sister Jane who married James Gordon so any info on that line, or on William Asher and Janet McPhersom would be great. Do you have any service or medal records for William? I wondered if he might have fought at Waterloo? I have another of my ancestors who fought at Waterloo ( from another regiment) and there is lots of information about him Also wondering how are you connected to me? I am happy to share anything I have too, is there is anything you are interested in? Many thanks too to Dod for your information. I am intrigued as the info I have on the Sappers and Miners states that they were posted to Canada in 1826 to help with the building of the Rideau Canal, but William was clearly there before this time with the birth of Mathew in 1820 and of Maria ( Martha) in 1823 a Ile au Noix (?) no idea what they were doing before that 1826. Anyone have any ideas? Kind regards Sue

Hi Alastair, I have a feeling we might we tracking the same individual? William Asher born in Alves, Moray?  He signed up in Glasgow and was discharged in 1826? Daughter Martha born in Canada in 1823? All of this seems to align with your information but it could of course be coincidental. If it is William, I wondered if you had found any more information? I have found two military births in Canada on Findmypast, one for a Mathew Asher born in 1820 and one for a Maria born 1823 ( maybe this was misspelled for Martha) both were Royal Engineer births. William was my 4xgg uncle. Many thanks Sue

Hi

I am wondering if someone may be able to help me? My grandfather served with the RAF during WW2 but was sent to India. I wasn't aware that India was involved in the war and would be grateful if anyone could tell me more about what he would have being doing there?

Many thanks

Thanks very much for the kind offer. Can you look in the Coylton MIs for a James Wilson who married in Coylton in 1759 to a Jean Dounie (or Downie)? I think Jane's parents were William Dounie and Margaret Fulton.

Many many thanks

Inverness / Re: Rev.Duncan McAllum"The North Star" Inverness.
« on: Thursday 19 July 07 16:48 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks gereon. I like you haven't seen many McCallums born in Inverness and as all my other McCallums originate in Argyll, I wonder if Ann McBain and Donald McCallum are actually from Argyll? I can't find a marriage and can only find one birth (the one for John) but have Flora's  death certificate which lists her parents. I'll keep searching, maybe I'll be lucky....if I am I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks again
Sue
