Hi all, I am interested contacting anyone one is looking at the Wilkies, mainly in Kincardineshire, but also in Aberdeenshire and Angus. In particular, I have
Alexander Wilkie, b 1777 Fettercairn, Kincardine, married Margaret Middleton (b1785 Bervie, Kincardine) 1808 Benholm, Kincardine. Alexander was a blacksmith and they are both buried in Benholm churchyard.
They had the following children
John 1808
Alexander 1810
Jean 1812
David 1818
William 1821 all Benholm
I believe Alexander had brothers David, 1780, and John, 1782, both Fettercairn. Their parents were John Wilkie and Margaret Smith. I imagine John would have been born c1750s but I am stuck on him. I can find no marriage for them but there appears to be a gap in the records of Fettercairn around 1770 so that may account for it.
I have quite a lot on Alexander jun's line (1810) who married Jane Watt c1842 which I am happy to share. The family moved around in the Benholm, Johnshaven, St Cyrus area.
If anyone is researching another line which leads back to this John Wilkie (c1750s) I would be happy to hear from you.
Lesley
