Hi Lesley ,

Not sure about the Manse , but did find details of Alexander Keith -

"min. of Free Church, St Cyrus 1843-1880; d. unmar. 29 Apr 1880"

George Anderson was at the Manse in 1881

Thanks for the information, its very interesting I found the census records for 1881 as well, I think the church and manse might have been built around about the same time after 1843. A family member lives in the house and is wanting to find out more about who lived there and when it was built.

The church was built in 1844, and the entry on the Scottish Archives Network site says St Cyrus Free Church was formed at the disruption (1843) and a church and manse were built shortly after. That sounds as though both were built at the same time.
