searching for Candie .....

[GR2]

If it is from the Aberdeenshire Poll Book, it is Candy/Candie in the parish of Kennethmont.

If you look at Roy's Military Map from the 1740s on the National Library of Scotland maps website, Candy is shown as a township just to the north west of Leith Hall.

     The links to the schools grid map was very promising , I expanded it out and could see Insch , Gartly , Clatt , and Rhynie , So that would indeed put my ancestor George Tough right near Premnay  at the right time frame . I am 88 % sure he fits in to my  research  . Thank you all so much .

                                                                                 Take care  Melanie

"If it is from the Aberdeenshire Poll Book, it is Candy/Candie in the parish of Kennethmont."

And the old maps on NLS show that Drumlithie is in "Aberdeenshire"

Drumlithie is now included in the expanded "Aberdeenshire" following council reorganisation. It was not in the historic Aberdeenshire before the 1970s.

Which old map(s) in particular put(s) Drumlithie in the County of Aberdeen before the latest reorganisation of local authorities?

Hi Tom ,

   Strichen  seems so far from where my ancestors were living in Premnay  , but I am going to look into it some more , cause you might be on to something !  I know William and George were common names among those families so it is a very good possibility .

There's a place called Condie (or maybe Path of Condie) near Dunning in Perthshire
