I am trying to trace the connection between two of my father's sisters and the Cardno family from, I believe, Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire.
My aunts were named Melita Victoria Cardno Moore b.1903 and Stella Dagmar Cardno Moore b.1908. Their mother, my grandmother, was Christina Fraser Grieve b.1880.
I have discovered that an Alexander Cardno married Ann Smith in Boghead, Pitsligo on 25 Nov.1858.
They had 13 children among whom were Melita Victoria Cardno and Stella Dagmar Cardno.
I recall that, in the late '50s and early '60s, my two aunts would holiday each year with relatives in Aberdeenshire and I believe they were farmers but I have no further information as to the connection.
Can anyone help?
