Isn't it great when you find these inscriptions! Are these the ANEFHS booklets? I have them, in fact got loads of them now, and also the Black Kalendar - showing who had been hung in Aberdeen! I also got 4 books on people who had died in ARI and apparently there is or was an archives office in Grampian Health Board! Need to check this out as it's possible to get info from the medical records providing they're more than 100 years old

Thanks Sue, All 4 Swanson's are mine, and Janet Webster (I didn't know about her husband). The rest of the names I will keep same and investigate, thanks! Names I'm also after are George Webster b 1786 and his wife Helen Mowat or Mouat b1792 (but I don't think you found a Mowat), who did die at New Deer, Gookhill (Gowkhill) or west Gookhill.. Their children, Alexander b 1819 Margery b1822 John b1824 Ann b1826 Janet (Jessie) b c1827 and James 1831. You have found me George Webster's sister Janet b 1788 (and her husband William Hunter). George's other siblings were John b1790 Margaret b1792 Isabel b1794 James b1798 and William b1801. I'm not sure if they were in New Deer or not. The rest of the Mowat family I would expect in Methlick. Alexander Mowat c 1750 and Marjory Porter, c1750. Their children, George c1780, Marjory c 1782, Alexander c1784, William c1786, John c1788, James c1790. (And Helen who should be in New Deer) Thanks for your help! Fiona
