Hi all

Has anyone got connections to Robert & Jane my brickwalls from around Fraserburgh. Or can help me find some information about them.

Robert and Jane were both born around 1800-1805, they are my gt gt gt grandparents. Robert died after 1881, havent been able to find his death cert. He was in a widower, in Old Deer aged 79 yrs in the 1881 census. Jane appears to have died before 1851, as Robert is by himself in all the census from 1841-1881.

They had 1 daughter that I have been able to find, Rachel, born 1824 she married George Alexander Buchan in 1847. Have plenty of info about them, but her parents are a real mystery to me.

Can anyone help out.

Kind regards

Maureen, down under in New Zealand.

Took about 30 seconds to find the death of a Robert Grant, Jobbing Gardener, Widower aged 86 in 1888 in Old Deer.

No wife is named by the nurse who reported the death but the parents were given as John Grant and RACHEL Murdison.

Robert was also listed as Pauper so there may extant information regarding Parish Relief.

Happy hunting.
