Caithness / Manson/Steven/Coghill from Keiss & Nybster
« on: Monday 04 May 09 17:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I am in the process of doing my partner's family tree - he is a Manson from Keiss.  I have a fair bit of stuff but would be interested if anybody out there is also related!

Aberdeenshire / Re: Kirk sessions, Forgue

Hiya

I'll need full names, addresses and approx date.  It's fascinating finding these entries and Forgue ones are no exception. One couple went to see the Session, she was told off for being pregnant - he got off as he was the Session Clerk and they came out of the meeting married!  Ho hum.  If you need any photos as well - church, farm etc just let me know.

Hi

You are right - the only place to find the Kirk Session records are in the NAS which I appreciate is miles away from you!  I am writing a book about the parish of Forgue and its estabished and free churches and will be going down to the NAS sometime soon to look at the session records.  Perhaps you can give me some more info and I will be able to look for you when I am there.

Hope this is of some help

Aberdeenshire / I live in one of your family houses!

Hello Paul

I was just trawling through the site when I saw that you are related to John Meldrum.  He was the Souter who lived in my house at Templeford in Forgue. I am currently setting up an exhibition of social history in Forgue and the Murray/Meldrums have a starring role!  I have the original feu disposition signed by William Farquharson Murray who was John Meldrum's father in law.  He bought the house in 1920 moving from just down the road at Aucharnie where he lived in a row of cottar cottages.

It would be great if you could get in contact.  If you have any family photos that you would be willing to led me or email to be that would be great.  Any family history - especially social history would be great too.  If you would like to see the house at any time then just let me know (*)and I can show you around (not that there's much!).  But there is the kitchen range that Sandy Meldrum put in on his marriage.

Kind regards

Catriona McKay
