Thats OK, I thought it was info you had, I didn't realise it was a book. so no worries.

Thanks anyway, I need to do more work on the Tillery line as most of the info I have has come from other people and I am hoping all the info is correct.

Thanks again

Found all the information on this thread quite fascinating as my Gran was born at Tillery, Foveran.

We went to have a look a few years ago and witnessed the burnt out shell of the mansion house, but we did not wander about or knock on the door of the building alongside as we felt we were trespassing on 'Private Property' as the sign read  ... wish I'd knocked on the door now!

Thanks for commenting on this post. I will go & put in a request for that book from the library right away!

Hi Beth, I would be interested in knowing what you found out as John is my great grandfather down the line. My grandfather is Orval Henry Johnson, who married Olive Elizabeth Tillery. Thank you,

Hello, all,
My ancestor, Peter Udny of Tillery, moved to Viborg in what was then Sweden, later Finland, now Russia, in the 17th century. Apparently members of clan Udny took the name Tillery after the estate. Please correct me if I'm completely off the mark.
Any information on the Udny's of Tillery would be most appreciated!
Best regards, Tryggve

Hello,

I would be interested in knowing any more information about Tillery if anyone would be able to help. I actually don't know very much at all, despite that my grandmother inherited the Tillery estate from when her father died when she was still quite young. She grew up in part of the house that wasn't burnt down lol, and then moved when she was in her late teens I think (might be wrong on the age).

I know that she sold the house, but I think she still owns some of the land. I've never been there. I didn't even know much about this estate at all, or really anything about that side of the family history until recently. There were mentions from my dad once when I was young of let's say... some odd political family history to put it mildly. My dad is nothing like that as my mum & dad count as the lowest 10% of UK earners, so they have had a very different life experience than my dad's ancestors. I live in central scotland, and my dad (who's the son of my grandmother), moved down here to go to university/get work when he was young.

My mum's family was the complete opposite & from Irish descent, I had relatives who fought for Irish independence with socialist backgrounds in the early 1900s & my maternal grandad was a miner, so it's a bit amusing how different their backgrounds are lol. I have mostly have been around my extended Scottish-Irish family, so I recently have been interested to know more about my grandmother's side as I know very little.

I will try ask her a bit more next time I see her, but I only see her about once a year recently as she has been ill for a while, lives quite far away and can't handle a lot of visitors because of her illness. I don't think she knows very much about her family history, her dad died when she quite young. I know there were a few photos left in the house when she sold it, but she couldn't get them back because I think she handled it in the wrong way lol. I don't know much of the details as it happened when I was a child. So I don't have very many photos, but I would love to see some if anyone has any I do have one photo of the house, but I took it on my phone so the quality could be better:https://imgur.com/AQDBfuq
