Hi Elaine,
I am new on this site and wonder if you have any info on McCall's, Arnott's or Ness families from 1820 to 1900
The McCall's  .....James and his father George were gardeners in Falkland.
The Ness family ... Robert and Catherine, parents of Christina, were coach hirers from Glasgow area....

The Arnott's... William and his father Thomas were coal miners from Auchterderran.  Mary b 9/4/1897, was my grandmother, and was William and Janet (nee Balfour's) daughter. Mary had a brother, Thomas.

James McCall m Christina Ness 7/11/1890.  Their son Archibald was my grandfather.  He married Mary Arnott in 1921.

Many thanks if you can help.

Hi Elaine,
I've just joined after seeing your messages on google. Was in Auchterderran last week looking for Penman grave but left frustrated as could not find it! Maybe it has fallen. Would be so delighted to receive plan from you of graveyard (by J.Penman from 1960's). William Penman, wife Margaret Christie, was my gr.gr.grandfather. Any other info containing Penman name from local community gratefully received.
Thankyou, Ilene

Hi Karen

Is it possible there is a wrong surname on the death certificate? These things do happen, especially with an elderly death. Nearest match I can see is the following marrage:-
13/10/1824 COOK JANET JAMES COOK/ELIZABETH ERSKINE FR250   AUCHTERDERRAN /FIFE 405/ 0010 0297
Then there is the birth:-
2 13/10/1824 COOK JANET JAMES COOK/ELIZABETH ERSKINE   AUCHTERDERRAN /FIFE 405/ 0020 0007
There is the added "mystery" that marriage and birth are on same date. Worth checking the OPRs.
Any use of "Erskine" as a family second name?

Regards

Dod

lol they were my original parents for janet, but would they get both parents names wrong on a certificate, i found janet's father as james on all the differnt web sites but then purchased her certificate to find it a bit different
i don't know where else to turn but am wondering if it's worth getting her marriage certificate in nz 1860.
cheers karen

Hi karen

Curiouser and curiouser! Janet's marriage to David Waldie states she is the daughter of the late JAMES Cook, mason, Crossgates in the parish of Dunfermline. There is a marriage record on SP
28/12/1823 COOK JAMES ELIZABETH ERSKINE/ M AUCHTERDERRAN /FIFE 405/ 0020 0073. Something odd - needs follow-up. I'm out of credits for SP at the moment so haven't got any further.
