Thanks for all your help everyone Iwill look into these leads will need to get to the library tomorrow, I checked out the connection with the Urquhart family and it wasn't the right parents for daughter. I think by the time 1941 census Alexander Innes might be living away from home maybe working in another farm not sure, will keep looking thanks Lesley

Hi Annie thanks for all your help with suggestions,
 I have Alexander Innes age 26 born Old Deer and his wife Isabella Stephen age 27 in the 1851 census living at 61 broad Street Fraserburgh, with sons James age 6 and Alexander age 3.
In 1861 they were living in 67 Frithside Street Alexr age 34, Isabella 35, Alexander 13, William 9, George 5 and Isabella age 1.
In 1871  South Road Fraserburgh Alexander age 45 cool/wood storekeeper born Old Deer.
Isabella age 53?
James son 25
William son 18
Mary Ann Innes 8
 Alexander was 48 when he married Ann Will in 1874 which makes his year of birth 1826 approx. The witnesses were W. Innes and John Will. He stayed at Seaforth Street, Fraserburgh when he got married for the 2nd time. Thanks for the help Lesley

I will check Scotlandspeople Ruth thanks for the information, havent been able to find any brothers or sisters and I havent found the family on Scotlandspeople cant find them in 1841 census yet.

I was wondering if anybody had any information on Alexander Innes married to Isabella Keith. I have a lot of information on their son called Alexander Innes who was born about 1826 in Old Deer, In 1844 he married Isabella Stephen and lived in Fraserburgh I have got him in the 1851 census onwards and he died in 1909 and was a coal merchant/ store keeper. On his death certificate it has his father Alexander Innes as a farmer and mother Isabella Keith I am interested in trying to find out more thanks.

Aberdeenshire / Re: Greig family Aberdeenshire connected with Edvard Grieg composer

Hi Stuart P, I was looking at the MI index for Rathen on the ANESFHS website I noticed on the stone 19 that mentions James Greig and Margery Carle further down it mentions an Alexander Greig died 16th June 1866 I have his death certificate  he died age 75 and his parents are Alexander Greig and Margaret Fraser. I will need to go and visit Rathen Kirkyard or look at the MI book in the library and find more info maybe my brother in law Martins family are connected with you wifes family. This Alexander Greig who died in 1866 married Isabella Meldrum all the best Lesley

This is great thank you very much for sharing this information, I have been looking at Edvard Grieg's mums side on the internet as well, another possible Scottish connection with Andrew Davidson Christie  from Montrose area born 1620 who moved to Bergen,Norway, will need to double check with records to see if this is right. I noticed while looking through the catalogue for the University of Aberdeen Library special collections that they have the Episcopalian records for Strichen, might help with some research, all the best Lesley

Hi Stuart P, thank you very much for your reply, yes I agree Edvard Grieg's direct lineage is in Norway but I am also interested in the Scottish side of the family that stayed in Scotland.
I am trying to verify stories that were passed down the generations to present day, saying there was a connection and trying to prove it either way.
As a great admirer of Grieg's music, visiting his house when I was little and living only a few miles away from where his Scottish ancestors came from and having Greig's in my family has kindled my interest in his family.
Even if I am not related I am still very interested in finding out more. Have you read the book by John Russel Greig, is it worth a trek to Aberdeen to go and read it at the University library? Thanks for the Norwegian information, I do have this already(on lots of bits of paper). Are you related to Greig with your family all the best Lesley
