More news from NE Scotland in centuries past

[Gene Genie Scotland]

Another item from the Aberdeen Journal of 21st November 1810:

MISSING.
ROBERT SPENCE, a Boy about Thirteen years of age, went away from BALNAGASK, in the parish of Nigg, 3 weeks ago.

He is of slender habit of body, fair complexion, and wore a dark coat of corduroy, vest and pantaloons of the same, a cap and grey stockings.

It would be humane in any person to whom he may have gone, or who knows of him, to give information to the Publisher of this Paper, or to Mr ROBERT DAVIDSON, in Balnagask. - The Father of the poor Boy is dead, and his Mother is in America.

20th November 1810.

Could he be one of your relatives?
