searching for Candie .....
« on: Monday 03 December 12 03:10 GMT (UK) »
   I found an ancestor in The Pollable Peoples book of 1696  living in the "Toune of Candie " .......I can not find this town on a map and if any one can let me know where to find information about it , that would get them a good spot on Santas  Nice list  :D                                                       
                                                                   Thank you  Melanie

There is this reference to "Candie" but perhaps not the town

Hi Melanie,

I had never heard of book before so I googled it, and it came back with the full title, "List of Pollable Persons Within the Shire of Aberdeen 1696." So it gives us the fact that the town is in Aberdeenshire. Only thing that looks a little similar is Crathie.

Mmmmm...a search on http://www.origins.net/sowelcome.aspx seems to favour Stirlingshire too.

OK, looking at the book online....some sources do say that many of the parish/town names therein have altered and changed over the years....so this may explain the non-appearance of a later day Candie in Aberdeenshire. I suppose some old c1690 map would be next option....perhaps an email to library in Aberdeen to ask if they have any mention of Candie in any of their archives - possibly starting with http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/libraries/contact.asp or write to:

Local Studies Department
Aberdeenshire Libraries
Meldrum Meg Way
The Meadows Industrial Estate

This may be a bit of a long shot but I did find this: - relating to Candy (relating to Knockandy hill I think)
