Hi Libby, My email is (*)  what part of Australia do you live in? I'm visiting Melbourne in May and Sydney in July if you are close to either of these area's I would be happy to give you a copy of all the research my grandmother has given me. Plus would be great to meet some other relatives on this side of the world.

Hi Stuart,

Do you know when there is the Annual North Cabrach Church Service this year, i've talked my mother into finally making the trip from New Zealand so wouldn't want to get the date wrong. If anyone else knows that would be really helpful.

Thanks

Melissa

I haven't heard yet about the church service, but the last 2 have been 16th August & 15th August so I would guess that this year it will be the 14th.

I've completed another update to the Cabrach database at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/stuartpetrie/  having included all the available statutory births, marriages and death certificates plus some more info from the Kirk Session records.

If anyone has downloaded any 1911 census pages from the parish I would love to see them so I can do a full transcription to add to the 1841-1901 censuses downloadable from the web site (which has a "Contact Me" button).

Hi, I am looking for dawsons/deason and  grants from the cabrach also,  I believe George and Grace sailed the Loch Katrine to Australia but stuck on records, your web site is amazing , well done.

Lovey.....do you have any idea of dates?

Were George and Grace Dawsons or Grants?

[Stuart P]

My (second-hand) information is that George Dawson died at Boldow, Knockando, Moray 30 Oct 1863. Girzel Grant appears to have died Jul 1848 - Knockando OPR has a burial of "Mrs Dawson in Boldow" 5th July.

Hi , George and Grace were Dawsons, grace was also known as Girzal Grant, I think they left scotland around 1878 on the Loch Katrine,  and returned about 5 years later ,

Thanks for that , they must of got the dates wrong or somebody else went to sail,  i have a look at other dawsons on the passenger list, i am trying to find out if we can go further back than  1730 but it seems that the names appear as Dasson, Dason, Deason.
