Little Fathaughs

[Cjeff]

Hi

I am trying to locate a place called Little Fathaughs.  It is noted as being the residence of one of my ancestors in the early 1820's.  His name was John Laing and he was a forrester at said location according to his Grandson's christening record.  The christening was in St Andrews Lhanbryde.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Only place I could find resembling Little Fathaughs is Littlehaugh Cottage Rothes - not far from Lhanbryde - but old maps only show from 1874 so possibly different name earlier?
Regards

Interesting idea.

It is listed as Little Haugh in the 1841 census.

Where a place name of a place not in the parish is mentioned in a parish register, it's usual for the parish to be specified, so if Little Fathaughs is Little Haugh, one would have expected the St Andrews-Lhanbryd parish register to say, '... in Little Fathaughs in the parish of Rothes ...'
