Hi everyone!

I'm trying to trace my great grandfather from Dundee, Scotland.  His name is John Drummond Mudie. On my grandmother's, Teresa Mary Mudie, birthcert is states that an address of 2 Peter Streer & his occupation was a Jute Preparer (im guessing it was in the Jute Factory in Dundee). My grandmother was born in 1937 in Dundee.

I have no other info for him so if anyone would have any ideas where i could start to look i'd appreciate it as i've found loads of info for my great grandmother.

Thanks!
Lydia

Hiya Lydia...you have my sympathy...go to  www.familysearch.org   there are a large amount of John Mudie born in Dundee...you will have to trawl through them all to see if your John is on that site.......I presumed b about 1910 to 1915 but he could have been born well before that....they go back to John Mudie b 1650 in Dundee....it`s a huge research job...good luck....allan

 have him in 1901 I think;
drummond Mudie/48/machine fitter
jane/50
david/23/pastry baker
james/21/app.mechanic
john/16/jute preparer
robert/13/do
agnes/8/at school
george keiller/40/visitor

forgot to mention his address:
100 Caldram St.
1871; an apprentice blacksmith
He's also there in 1881 & 1891 living at 104 Caldram st.
All I can tell you about Drummonds marriage to Jane is that it took place in 1876 but not in Dundee.

Reading your original post you say your grandmother was born 1937.The John Mudie I gave you would have been 53 at the time,although it's possible he's her father it's more likely he's her grandfather ie.the John Drummond Mudie you're looking for being his son.

edit:Found a birth for John Drummond Mudie 1915 Dundee so it looks like this is the case.There's also his marriage in 1935 Dundee.
You need to get his birth cert. & then look for his parents marriage & hopefully that will state Drummond as his father.You can then get Drummond's 1876 marriage to find his as he was born 2 years before Civil Registration started.
Hopefully this will give you your family going back to your 4 x Greatgrandfather.
hope this helps.

thanks so much jim... i reckon thats definately the right family.

Is there any other info for the John Drummond Mudie birth in 1915 or for the marriage in 1935 i.e wife's name?
On my grandmother's birthcert it gives his address as 2 Peter Street.

Thanks again jim!
