Hi Elaine

You mentioned:  "The other Dey that I have is Isabel Dey who married Robert Green on 11 Nov 1760 in Mortlach, I don't know anything else about her yet"

Robert Green and Isobel Dey are my 5 x great grandparents.

I believe (but no sound proof as yet) that Isobel was born/christened 07 apr 1731 @ Botriphnie, the eldest child of 5 recorded born to Alexander Dey and Janet Bennet.

Robert Green and Isobel Dey had 7 recorded children including my 4 x great grandad John Green 1773- after 1851, who married Janet McConnachie.

My line comes down through their son, William Green 1813-1887, married to Jane Shand.

Their son Alexander Green 1858-1929 married Ann Stewart.

My great grandad was their son, John William Green, 1888 - 1949, married to Margaret Fiddes Boyd.

If anyone recognises any of these names, please get in touch.

Kind Regards

Ellen
Hi there, I am a newbie, having joined today.  I am Linda Hutson of Western Australia, researching Hutsons of Edinburgh and Grants of Mortlach and Clarks of Aberdeenshire.  My present concern is the Grants of Mortlach.  This is what I have: My G Grandmother Ann (Annie Grant) married John Clark 18 01 1883 Church of Mortlach.  Her parents:  Alexander Grant, crofter and Barbara Grant nee Dawson.  I cannot seem to find Alexander's birth date or go back any further than he.  Any connection?  Any hints?  All assistance greatly appreciated.  Cheers, Linda 
1851 CENSUS
Alexander Grant was 12 years old, scholar, and living with his mother Elspit Grant, 35, agricultural labourer’s wife, and his sister Barbara 9 yo.
They lived at 16 Boghead, Parish of Banff.
Listed as all born in Banffshire, Banff.

By "googling" Alexander & Barbara's names I found a few sites where folk have researched this couple. From this information I went on familysearch & found this info on Alexander's birth; 1 Feb 1838,Aberlour,Banffshire.Parents Donald Grant & Margaret Anderson. I recommend that you check out this information. If you request a copy of Alexander Grant & Barbara Dawson's marriage certificate (married 25 May 1861, Cabrach) it should confirm these details. (As will their death certificates) Hopefully their parents will still be living & you can trace back further generations using this method.

Hello Linda and welcome to Rootschat. I haven't come across your Grants in my research as far as I can tell but will keep them in mind.

I have Isabel b1820, Margaret b1822, Alexander b1825 all born in Mortlach to William Grant and Margaret Gauld. William and Margaret married in Mortlach 28 Jan 1819. William was born in Inveravon in about 1785.

I'm sure that you will be able to follow on from the great info that flst has found for you  :)

Hi Lucie,

Welcome to Rootschat  :)
I'm sorry about the delay in replying...things have been a bit hectic recently and I'm not getting as much time as I'd like for family research.
The Glass in my family refers to the place rather than the surname - I'm a descendant of the Archibald family from Glass. Can you tell me a bit more about your Dey and Grant families?
I can't send you a personal message with my details until you make at least 3 postings so if you can just expand a bit about each family then that should cover it  :)
