Looking for any info about Agnes Burnett

[hookleg]

Agnes Burnett, known as 'Nan' married my mother's cousin Stanley S M Simpson of Altens Farm, Nigg, in 1944. Her address at that time was 6 Ferrier Brae, Tullos (which I can not locate) and father was Mr H Burnett. Any info about anybody mentioned would be greatly appreciated.

Did Agnes Burnett die 2006 in Arbroath other name Simpson mothers maiden name
Milne ?
Birth for Agnes Burnett 1923 Nigg Kincardine

If this is the same person and you have her death certificate it will give you the name of her parents

Possible marriage for Harry Burnett to an Agnes Milne 1922 St Machar Aberdeen

On the valuation rolls there is a Harry Burnett at 6, Fernie Brae  Torry  Aberdeen
Have you maybe got the address wrong ?

Thanks Rosie and GR2. I had based my enquiry on the info from the Aberdeen weekly journal of 1944 but couldn't locate Ferrier Brae. It appears that this may have been a newspaper typo! Found Fernie Brae, though! It is in a fairly close proximity to Altens Farm. The farmhouse has been demolished and it and the land now lie under a huge industrial development. I do, just remember, visiting it almost 70 years ago when on a visit to Aberdeen with my mother, to see my grandparents.
Interesting that Agnes' birthdate is 27th Jan 1923 as it is my mother's birthdate too. (She is still alive and will be 100 in 2 months. She was born in Aberdeen, too).

Yes thought it might have been a typo error maybe the marriage certificate will have the right address ..I know that area pretty well my brother lived in Altens Cove and a sister in Nigg .Hope your mother has a lovely 100 th Birthday that's amazing

Thanks Rosie. My mother was born in Whitehall Place and lived in Ruthrie Terrace for most of her time in Aberdeen. She trained as a nurse at Woodend Hospital and was a fever nurse in the City Hospital towards the end of the war. That's where she met my dad.

That's strange we lived in Gaitside Crescent  Garthdee not far from Ruthrie Terrace
