The Lighter Side / Re: BBC "Who Do You Think You Are?" Anne Reid (WDYTYA Series 12 Episode 6)

I have to agree with what has been said about this episode a very strange and quite savage reaction to the  father in law.Something I spotted on the forged document was one of the other names was a David Reid, was this another relative he was trying to con out of money? ;)

hi Perky, George was my grandad Peter's brother.We are cousins :) My dad is David, Peter's older son.
I saw George's obituary on line a few years ago and kept a copy of it.Have you managed to find any info on James Crawford who married Agnes Mcgraw? I have drawn a blank on them. Dad thinks there may be an Irish connection.The other stems I have got back to are,John fairfoul and Jean Walker,Peter Mcdiarmid and Margaret Ballingall, James Stobie and Elizabeth Melvill, George Bunch and Isabel Mckiddie, John Haggart, James Henderson and Margaret Guthrie. beyond them I only have speculation at the moment. Hope these confirm your findings, hope to hear from you again. Rowena.

Hi NorrieG, I know this is not in eastWemmes but have you recorded all the headstones in Newburgh and Abdie? If you have can you look up any Fairfoul/Fairfoull graves there. Thank you for the one of Peter and his family you sent me before.

Many thanks Jimmijam for this info, it's good to know I am not alone in trying to find lost rellies. I have looked at your other posts and I will keep looking for more on the Lady of Mugdrum and if David could have been a crew member                                   
Norrie G, Thank you for the picture of the grave, it has filled in a few more details of the family, including young James who I didn't know about at all, so I will have to find his death cert.

Hi Marcie, Yes I have used varient spellings and all the different options SP has. Without his  birth or death I can't definitly tie him to the earlier Fairfouls in the area. Mary was a local girl but as David isn't on the census I can't even get an idea as to where he was born or his age. I have the 1861 census and it states w in the box for status so he must be dead by then. Peter's birth cert doesn't have father dead on it so he was there at the time, so this cuts the time period down to between 22nd october 1856 to the end of march 1861(asuming the scotish census was taken at the same time as in England). Do you know where there would be info on inquests held in scotland? Dandylion.

Fife / fishermen lost at sea

I have been trying to trace my 3xGG David Fairfoul who married Mary Mcdiarmid in Newburgh on the 2nd of April 1846. I can find no suitable births for him at scotlands people site or a death for him. On the census of 1851 Mary is a seamans wife, so I am assuming as he isn't on with the family he is at sea. By the 1871 she is a widow. Peter thier last child was born in 1856, so he must have died somwhere between his conception and the 1871 census. I cannot find any death for him at all and wondered if he were lost at sea would he have a death cert ? Also would such a death make the local papers if there were such things. Would there be an enquiery or would it just be forgotten? Any helpful ideas or info would be great. Dandylion. :)

Hi Trish, Finaly found her on the census of 1841 and 1861 after jiggling the spelling about. I can't find the death for samuel in the BMD's up to 1841 as there are 6 possibles in just those years, name is too common in yorkshire. I haven't been able to find Anns birth in 1777 at Hemsworth yet but i'll keep hunting. Rowena
