Banffshire / Re: John Duff
« on: Monday 27 September 21 12:48 BST (UK)  »
Thank you most interesting. I'm just wondering how far afield John Duff was at birth. I did wonder about the three I mentioned, but now I can dispose of them. A couple of years ago before the Kirk sessions were on line, I waded through some records at Old Aberdeen trying to find if my Young ancestor was born out of wedlock. I only had half a day but I barely scratched the surface.
However again many thanks.

Thanks for the info still not sure as to when or where John duff was born. Are the kirk sessions available now on Scotlands people? They might be handy in trying to find the origin of my "brick wall" gt gt grandfather Young. I live in hope.

Thanks all I have  that info. I have a death of a John Duff in 1849, but no age at death given and his abode as being stated at Fordyce, which is out of the rest of the records which were mostly at Inveravon.
On the marriage of John Duff and Anne Kellas  (Inveravon)all it says that he was from the Bridge of Livet.
I have three possibilities 2 from Gamrie and Macduff  (1799) and one from Fordyce (1800). I'll have to do a bit more digging until I'm convinced on which way to go, if at all!

John Duff was married to Anne Kellas on 12 July 1827.I cannot find a DOB for him, but I'm guessing he died sometime between 1846/47 and 1851. He appears in the 1841 census but not in the 1851. On that his wife is a widow. I have tried Scotland's People, but it looks as if he just disappeared. Any suggestions or perhaps someone in his family has the answer. I live in hope.

Thanks to all for the help. I've been otherwise occupied recently. However I am no nearer finding Alex Jamieson's death certificate. The only reference I can find is on Elizabeth's death certificate where it states she is first the widow of Thomas Rutherford (stone mason)and secondly widow of Alexander Jamieson who was some kind of loom turner, I could not make out what the first word was. Yet another mystery.

Kincardineshire / Re: Date of death for Andrew Moir

Hi "drew" well done, I had not investigated  Andrew's father. Also  have never seen that before in a death certificate though. Excellent, still wondering where he might be buried though, might investigate where George the father is buried in the event his son could be in the same lair. Good work thanks.

Hi spiderdrew,  unfortunately I have been lazy of late but I only have one son noted for Andrew Moir. I have had no more luck as to his date of death. One suggestion  was to try variations of Moir. Moire was one.  If he was perhaps buried in a paupers grave then records of that could be few and far between. I shall keep trying though. All the best in your search.

Aberdeenshire / Re: Thomas A Rutherford
« on: Sunday 31 May 15 20:19 BST (UK)  »
Ok thanks to all so far, here is what I've found.
Elizabeth Young born c 1849/1850
Thomas Rutherford born c 1846/1847
Thomas and Elizabeth married  7 May 1870 Old Machar
Address 131 Barron Street Woodside Aberdeen
Children
Charles Culbard Rutherford born 12 June 1870
Elizabeth Jane McNab Rutherford born 7 July 1873
Thomas A Rutherford born c 1875 in State of Maine USA (British subject)
   In the 1881 census Thomas A aged 6, is living with his grandmother Elizabeth Young in 125 Barron Street Woodside Aberdeen
   In the 1881 census Charles  aged 10 is living with an uncle and aunt William and Jane Young at the Grove farm Auchmill
1891 Elizabeth Jane aged 17 (no occupation noted) is living with an aunt Margaret Masson in Fountainhall road Aberdeen
   Sometime between  1875 and 1889  Thomas Rutherford senior is assumed to have died in the USA. Elizabeth senior plus children return to Scotland, where Elizabeth senior remarries to an Alexander Jamieson.
   On the 12 November 1886 Charles Rutherford (mason apprentice) dies address given as 127 Barron Street Woodside Aberdeen.Thanks to " Annette7" for that info. I eventually got it from Scotland's People but it was incredibly slow in getting there.
   On 6 September 1889 Elizabeth Jamieson, by this time again a widow, dies. Her sister Helen Livingston m.s. Young, was the informant. The  address was 129 Barron Street Woodside Aberdeen, so maybe she had not entirely abandoned her children.
   On the 28 august 1894 Elizabeth Jane Rutherford (dressmaker) single dies at 9 Rose Place Aberdeen her aunt Helen Livingston m.s. Young being the informant.
Elizabeth senior, daughter Elizabeth and son Charles are all buried in the same lair in Old Machar churchyard.
   I still have to establish when Elizabeth and Alexander Jamieson were married and perhaps why the children were farmed out. Barron street seems to have figured large in the scheme of things in the family.
   In the 1861 census Charles and Elizabeth Young and 4 of the family were living at 119 Barron Street.
   I have tried unsuccessfully to obtain a marriage certificate from Scotland's People for Elizabeth and Alexander Jamieson Any idea as to where I'm going wrong?

United States of America / Re: Thomas Rutherford

Thanks for those replies. I have been unable to pin down Thomas's death or even when they might have entered the USA. But it looks as if she has fled the scene after returning for the USA, Her children are spread around various relatives, but where she herself is goodness only knows. The mystery deepens.
