The Rae Family
« on: Sunday 01 May 11 17:03 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace any descendents of my grandmother’s sisters. They were:-
1. Jane Ann Rae who was born in Montrose in April 1866. I believe she married a Mr Fleming and emigrated to Australia for a period. She had two daughters, May and Elizabeth Fleming
2. Maria Alice Rae who was born in Aberdeen in December 1875 I understand she married a Mr Hunter who may have been a doctor. She had a son named William Hunter who died as an infant in 1908. I also suspect that she may also have emigrated to Australia or South Africa
Can anyone help me?

Since this post, I have managed to trace most of the descendents of Jane Ann Rae and Maria Alice Rae that I was looking for. However one puzzle remains namely where and when did Maria Alice Rae die.
I know that she married a James Chapman Mennie in Aberdeen in 1921 when she was 46, but unfortunately he died within 3 years of the marriage leaving Maria Alice as a widow for a second time. What happened to her after that is a mystery.
Can anyone help me?

Since my last post, I have discovered that Maria Alice died in Surrey in 1953 aged 77. She obviously went there in later life to be near her daughter. This thread is now complete.
Thanks
