Aberdeenshire / Re: Wood family from Auchterless
« on: Wednesday 07 May 14 01:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, Leon Latta back again,
After further investigation, I have found that Peter WOOD and his son John WOOD both died in 1879 and the records show 'place of death' as 'Old Machar, Aberdeenshire'.
Can anyone shed some light on this 'WorkHouse' and some details of activities there, around that time.
Thanks again - Regards - Leon

Message to Alex Wood.
I am also connected to John Wood 1817-1879 and Elizabeth Wood (Howie) 1816-1885 via their last son Alexander Robert (Robb) Wood 1859-1942 who married Ellen Agnes Wood (Cushan) 1853-1923. Alexander and Ellen's second son Wallace Hyacinth Wood was my Grandfather. I am trying to find out more details on Peter Wood who died in 1879 who was supposedly John Woods' father.
If you are able to help me, that would be great.
Regards - Leon LATTA 1951

Hi there everyone.
I am so happy that after all my years of sitting in my little office, delving back in the past and the experience of finding a connection was a 'solo' event, to now have people to talk to who are interested in my hobby. Thanks everyone, I feel that the 'solo' experience, is going to be a thing of the past. I appreciate the help and the interest. I now feel that there is a wealth of knowledge out there in 'ciberland' that I actually have access to.
Fond regards to you all - Leon LATTA

Thanks Looby,
Robert LATTA would have been 58 and Janet (Jean) LATTA (nee LINDSAY) would have been 59 (Still not sure if these dates are correct).
The 1851 census in Kilmarnock listed 42 Glencarn Street as Robert 44, Janet 42, Agnes 21, Robert 9, William 7 and David 5.
Robert and Janet married in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in 1829. Robert and Janet both died in Sydney Australia, Robert in 1882 age 85 years and Janet in 1896
I am actually looking for a connection between my Robert LATTA 1805-1882 and Robert LATTA 1816-1874, as I mentioned before they resided in the same address on arrival into Australia.
Thanks and regards - Leon LATTA

Robert LATTA 1816-1874 married Emily Sarah LATTA (WILLIAMS) 1844 in St. Andrews Scots Church, SYDNEY NSW AUSTRALIA. Their first born was William Goudie LATTA 1845-1889.
Roberts parents are listed as James LATTA and Emma S LATTA.
I am trying to make a connection with my relatives Robert LATTA and Janet LATTA (LINDSAY) who came to Australia in 1863 and resided at 51 Princes St. SYDNEY NSW AUSTRALIA. From the records, Robert LATTA (1816-1874) also resided at the same address so I am assuming that they are relatives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards - Leon LATTA
