Thank you very much for your efforts.

It's too bad that it so hard to track down the final resting places
even when confirmed on the death record such as with
Isobel Beattie m.s. Kennedy.

Yor efforts are appreciated.

My Aunt Charlotte Glass b 1910 Friockheim married to my Uncle
           Arthur STOTT in 1936 he was born 1903 Crofts, Carmylie
he also spent time in Canada; was a quarry worker and school
janitor at the old school at East Gate in Friockheim died 8 Jun 1974.

I have looked at my records and I see they go back to
Alex STOTT born 1837 Garvock, Kincardine
married to Margaret Miller 25 Dec 1857 at Monikie
born 1838 abt Monikie died 25 December 1922  Mains of Kelly, Arbirlot.

My cousin livers in England now but we are in touch.

 I have a bunch of computer records of the direct links
but only census records for siblings. Delighted to share and
fill out my knowledge on the Stotts/Colliers /Reids/ Millers/Falconers. etc.

Hi Jim,

I moved my family outside Vancouver in 1975.
before that we lived 5 years in  Herts. and two years before that ion  Lanarkshire. I grew up in the Borders around Kelso Galashiels. Wife  is frim Gordon Berwickshire.


Thrift Watt died 17 Mar 1919  Balnillo, Dun, Forfar, Scotland
he is buried in Dun churchyard grave has no memorial.

His death was registered by a farm worker or neighbour
even although his daughter Isabella lived at 80 Baltic St Montrose a
mere seven or eight miles away, Balnillo is right on the Forfar Montorse branch line at that time. her youngest child Davis Collie would have been 16 years old at that time.

Agnes Ann Dorian is buried in Cowie (Died 25 Aug 1903).
I have a photo of the Memorial inscription She and son Alexander
are buried there.

I talked to Charles Dorian about ten days ago just
shooting the breeze.  I met Chatles about two years ago
as a result of an enquiry I had a friend put in the
Aberdeen Family History Quarterly regarding Thrift.

Charles is about 2.5 hour car ride away from Delta down south.

What do you make of the issues over Thrifts mums name Chisholm/Chessit?

Can we communicate off line from this form?
