Mitchell - Mackie

[MonicaL]

There are a number of 'google' refs  to the family. For example:

www.clicktrees.com/getperson.php?personID=I1639&tree=Primary

A lot of detail on the family line although with some inaccuracies. For example, it has Jessie (Stewart) as probably dying between 1892-1901 which as you have seen from her 1901 census entry, she's alive and well in 1901 and with more children.

Sad detail about Charles's death in 1916.

Regards.

thank you Monica, it really gets a jump start on that section of the family.  I will see how far we get before I scream for help.  Thanks a million.  Too bad about your wet weather, maybe we could share.  It is super dry, and hot not good for crops.

Monica, I am a little confused.  Not with what you gave me but what I have for Jessie and your 1901 census.  I'm wondering if they are the same. As there is no John Stuart with Jessie and her husband John. Let me know what you think.  Here is what I have

Jessie (Janet ) Mitchell married John Stuart June 27th 1890 in Bridgend.
John Stuart                born abt 1863      
To them was born 2 children
Margaret (Maggie) Stuart        born 1891         
John Stuart   was born October 12, 1892 and died December 15, 1913             
John Stuart Sr’s parents names were:  John Stuart and Mary Robb.
John Stuart Sr was a blacksmith self employed until his death.
 In 1901 Charles is living with nephew John Stuart, age 8 –

Hi Joanne

You might have to do some more digging to get to the bottom of it. Not sure about the 1901 entry but it's the only one coming up that connects.

In 1891 we have Jessie not long married with husband and baby Maggie living with her mother and brother Charles:

Margrett Mitchel 53, merchant, b. Tarland
Charles Mitchel 12, b. Cabrach
John Stewart    28, blacksmith, b. Mortlach, Banffshire
Jessie Stuart    20, wife, b. Cabrach
Maggie Stuart    3 Mo, b. Cabrach

Address:  Bridgend. Cabrach

In 1901 we have child John Stewart living at his Uncle Charles:

Charles Mitchel 22, merchant, b. Cabrach
May Rattray    25, general servant b. Cabrach
John Stewart    8, nephew, b. Cabrach

Address:  Bridgend. Cabrach

And then the 1901 entry which is the only one coming up for a Janet/Jessie b. Cabrach. Daughter Maggie is the right age as is husband John. His occupation is out though, as is birth place:

John Stewart    38, Distillery Worker, b. Dufftown
Jessie Stewart    29, b. Cabrach
Maggie Stewart    10
William Stewart 6
James Stewart    4
Charles Stewart 3
Peter Stewart    1

Address: 13 Conval St, Mortlach, Banff


The only relevant death coming up for Jessie/Janet on Scotlands People is this one:

1933   STEWART   JESSIE    MITCHELL  62   MORTLACH   /BANFF   162/00 0017

Regards.

Looking for any information on Maggie Mackie who married William Mitchell in 1863 in Mortlach, Banff. They had possibly 7 children who most stayed in Scotland. John born 1863 owned a hotel in Aberdeen, what happened to him. Willialm born in 1865 owned the Mason Arms in Dufftown what happened to him, Peter born in 1867, Jessie bornin 1870 James in 1873 all born in Cabrach. Anyone having any information, it would be appreciated.
William was the son of Peter Mitchell and Janet Kemp
Maggie was the daughter of William Mackie and Jane Daun.

Hello. The reason I have registered on this site is because I was having a general pre-Christmas tidy up and found my Grandfather's Birth certificate, along with HIS father's certificate. It seems Margaret Mackie is my Great-Great Grandmother!

I knew all about the old Cabrach area and we all used to have a big gathering there every summer - but now the numbers have dwindled away over the years and it's not much a of a gathering any more, sadly. Anyhow - My Grandfather is James Norman Roberts Mitchell - born 1900. His parents were James Mitchel and Isabella Anderson. On James Mitchell's Birth certicate are his parents names, William Mitchell and Magaret Mackie! So I have the actual original Birth certificate in front of me from 1873!
I could photocopy or scan and e-mail if it's of any interest?

Maw, if you know of what happened to any of the other brothers it would be appreciated as well.
