Jean Milne 1794 to ?

[Forfarian]

Where can I get any information about Belhinney, Rhynie & Essie from do you know.

What sort of information are you looking for?

The 1855 valuation roll on SP lists George Kelman as tenant, Croft of Belhenny, Estate of Warthill. There are 10 tenants there and the proprietor is the Duke of Richmond. I believe that the estate papers of the Dukes of Richmond and Gordon are or were held at Goodwood House in the south of England, but I could be mistaken, or they might have been moved.

Basically what you have just said Forfarian. I wasn't sure whether it was just a house or street as there were a few names there in 1841.
I have looked at the recent photos & they are quite interesting.

No, not a street, definitely rural. Looks as if it was a farm that was divided into several crofts.

Thank you.
I will let you know how I get on with the mortcloth search.

Ruthleen,
Where did you get the information about James Lawson being the illegitimate son of Ann Kelman & George Lawson (carpenter) as I cannot see it on S/P.

From his marriage to Jessie Forsyth in 1886:

'George Lawson, carpenter (journeyman)(deceased) and Ann Kelman, domestic servant'

In my quest to find a date of death for Jean Milne which I believed to be between 1826 (birth of Ann) & 1841 (no entry in census) I decided on a search of the Rhynnie parish cash book to see if there was an entry for a mortcloth. I did not find anything for Jean but there were 10 entries for other Milne's.
