Author Topic: Knock Street, Stuartfield (Looking West) Date? (Read 5860 times)

Found this quite large (9x13) framed photo amongst my Grandparents things. Would be interested in any info about the area and perhaps a date? Only thing written on the back of the photo is 1-94 in blue pencil which I expect is just a file # from the studio or printer, and probably doesn't mean January, 1894? Sorry for the two pics but couldn't fit it in the scanner in one shot!

I know my GG Grandmother Miss Jane Hutcheon was living at Briar Cottage, Stuartfield by Mintlaw, in May of 1920 because she is listed as closest relative on my Grandfathers Canadian immigration papers.

Just getting back into the Genealogical swing of things after half a year away. Was a tough one, lost my Dad this past October. Hope everyone here at RC has been well. looking forward to better times to come.... :-)

In the background there's a blob that looks suspiciously like a motor vehicle.
On that basis C. 1920's.

Yes, now that I look at the scanned image I see that also. Its harder to see in the actual photo. So circa 1920 seems about right. Now perhaps I'll start a thread over in the Aberdeenshire forum and see if I can get any info on Stuartfield and perhaps my GG Grandmother. Thanks for your help!
