Find Ancestors

Hi,


I am trying to find out about Strachan's who came from Lundie in the Mid 1850's onwards. I don't know a great deal so anything would help. There was a Betsy Strachan born about 1856 and a Margarte Strachan born around 1859/60 and a John Strachan 1858 I think.

Sorry should have said I have tried Scotland's People but can't find much on there.

Thanks


Fergus Lamont

There is also a marriage for the same couple recorded on 21 March 1852 at Auchterhouse. So the bride and groom came from different parishes?

Angus is under its old name of Forfar.

Hi,

I have found out that Betsy Strachan married an AlexanderFitzpatrick and they had 6 children

William 1879
Alexander 1881
Ann 1886
James 1895
Matilda 1895
Strachan who married an Agnes Aitken

Unfortunately I have not been able to find out anything else so if anyone knows anything it would be really great to hear from you.


Thanks
