Walkers in Kincardine and Aberdeen

[Glen Bervie]

Hi folks
I have been researching my Walker ancestory as back as possible. So far I have records going back to around 1700 in Glenbervie. The family were nearly always millers and this has greatly eased the process. I have found other Walkers (including some millers) in and around the county who I cant connect to my line but I am sure that there must be a distant tie in somewhere! Through my searches, I have met a cousin in Canada who has gone down the DNA route and this has provided some sort of link to (Quakers who immigrated from Aberdeen to America). But it all seems a bit ropey....my Walkers were fiesty episcopalians.
So my question is simply....are there other Walkers out there with Kincardine(Aberdeenshire) backgrounds who are trying to work out the same problems?

Howdy Glen Bervie,

I too have a hockey sock full of Walkers starting with my great-grandmother in Greenock and thence over to Kinkardineshire as Millers.
My ggrandmother was Mary Jane  W. born Jul 5 1846 in Markinch, Fife and was married to a Guthrie from Greenock.
Her parents were Alexander W. married to Catharine Lyall.
They go back further to connect to Brands, Blackies and Officers.

If you see any traces give me a shout,
Gord

Hi Gordon. This just Graeme W under a pseudonym! I'm trying find out if anyone knows how to tie our Alexander who was at Buckies Mill with all the other Walkers who were living in the Mill next door and at a couple of adjacent farms. If we could put this story together it may provide links to the other Walkers in Kincardine and Aberdeen. Who knows there may end up being truth in the Macpherson story?

Howdy again Glen Bervie,

I don't think it was me you sent an e-mail to as I just joined this site the other day. How did you send the message directly to me? I can't find a place to do that back to you.

Thanks for that ev,
When I returned to the forum I saw that there was a scroll beside the names and discovered what it was for.

Hi Gordon

Here is our common ancestor, William Walker, in the graveyard of the Caterline Episcopalian Church.


No photos of William but here is his wife Mary Blackie.

For now,
