Hi

Can anybody help. I am trying to find out about Dorothy isobel mackie ( b 1907 in Aberdeenshire) family. . Her mum was Mary Mackie (nee wildren or Gordon) and dad was James Mackie. Dorothy had a brother called R.S.L Mackie. We are trying to find out what his name was and any other brothers or sisters.

Can you see electoral registers for aberdeenshire online anywhere?

thank you for helping me.

Jane

They aren't online I,m afraid

Have you tried Scotlands People website

It also had the Scottish 1911 census on there

It's not a subs site I,m afraid , you can dona free search but have to buy units to view the inf

From the free search they married in 1897 so probably had children before Dorothy

Thanks again ArgyllGran

I think we will have to buy some credits. If this is the information you can get on there it will be really helpful to us. Thank you

Jane

No electoral rolls on SP, I'm afraid.

There are Valuation Rolls at 5 or 10 yearly intervals, 1855 to 1935.
However, they only show the name of the householder, and both James Mackie and Mary Mackie are very common names.

Thanks

In 1905 valuation Roll, there's a Joseph Mackie at 27 Baker Street, where the family were living in 1901:

MACKIE

Thanks for that ArgyllGran. I have no idea who Joseph is. Perhaps he is Jame's dad?

Jane

He was living at 22 Yedder Road Aberdeen in 1947. This was on Dorothy's death cert in1947. She was living at 59 Polwis terrace aberdeen.

I've edited my earlier post showing the 1911 census entries.

James was indeed with them - I had somehow been searching for females only - hadn't meant to do that!

Thanks for updating that information for me. We really appriciate all this help.

Jane

Births of Dorothy's siblings, at least as far as shown in 1911.

There are lots of other Mackies born in Glenmuick - but no way of knowing if they're James & Mary's children without paying to see the birth certs.
They can't all be their children.

Unfortunately, the mother's maiden surname can't be used as a search term for such recent births, so no way to narrow the results down.

Thanks ArgyllGan you have found out so much information for us. I am really grateful for all your help.
Can you Please tell us What years does Scotlands People cover and what records do they have so we can research it further ourselves.

Jane

Details here of what's on SP:

As far as births/baptisms, marriages/banns, and deaths/burials are concerned, the earliest (church records) are about 1560, and the latest (statutory records) come right up to 2019.
