Your wife's family certainly spent many years of service to the people of the congregation and the community. I hope the church's history has been preserved. <br /><br />The church where I attended most of my life (except for short periods away), closed January 2012. We were happy that the building is now used as an arts centre, concert hall and houses an evening meal five days a week for the poor. <br /><br />I hope this church building is re-purposed in a way that it honours its history.Janet Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742257036879298830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502733546491041083.post-62071719515872443032014-10-03T18:36:26.649-04:002014-10-03T18:36:26.649-04:00This is fantastic.

And yep, Abigail Dane, the "witch", is his great x8 grandmother. And the baby that she was pregnant with while she was jailed for witchcraft? Whom she famously named Ammi Ruhamah ("my people have obtained mercy")? That's his great x7 grandfather.<br /><br />I myself am distantly related to Laura Ingalls Wilder through her marriage to Almanzo Wilder.

I am ...I will find the time soon to share with you. I am at present 'locked out ' of my laptop. However I am sure if I sift through the Scotland's People downloads I shall find it all. A young lad called George Irvine was a farm worker in Old Meldrum at the time and his,father was the blacksmith in Chapel of Garioch where Mary Christie lived with her parents. My father always told us that the Irvines were part of the family a couple of generations back and that there were twins to the Irvines. I concentrated on this when doing research as this was my main reason for doing it. Also Alex Glennie won't be the father as he and Mary had a child called John later, so very unlikely to name a child after one still living. I also was researching the origin of the unusually spelt Gaull which is a nuisance as I am always having to spell it to people. My father said it was made up after the split in the family caused by the birth of,the twins. In fact Mary Jane and her father John were in fact Gauld. It was only after the birth of the twins that her name was Gaull and her father seemed to adopt it too instead of Gauld the real family name. However in those days spelling wasn't so important in names as today. From friends I have over 80 especially I know a few who were 'given' away for convenience. One whose father was killed and her mother finding a new husband just took her to a friend and left her. In the days of Mary Jane this might not have been so unusual for a family . I would imagine her proud father would have been all right to take on the second born twin bearing his name but would have drawn the line at one called after the seducer of his daughter. Mary Jane would have been glad of escaping from her parents' strict household and to be taken in by an older man of means. He would in turn have been glad of a healthy young woman to assist homon the farm and bear him offspring. Those,were days of survival and required a couple to run homes and especially farms. Reading between the lines Mary Jane's mother would not have been particularly strong and healthy. This may be why ther was on<br />Y the one daughter although John Gaull or Gauld would no doubt have wanted sons. Later before her deaths it seems from a census return that her sister was called upon to look after her. This sister stayed on for a short time to look after John Gaull and his grandson John Gaull the twin. John Gaull the twin lived with his grandparents and not his mother and Alex Glennie. They went on to have their own children. John Gaull the twin went on to marry Harriet McKenzie. It is likely he met her in Cluny when visiting his widowed mother and she was working in Cluny. And that would be when Janet was born. I will have to find time to compile all this and I do have the census returns and certificates to verify the above. And it all ties in with what my father used to tell us. John the twin was his grandfather and my father would go to the farm for holidays. I didn't get round to piecing it all together for other people with the evidence because I was occupied with that second book. But I shall especially once I get into the laptop. The iPad doesn't lend itself to downloading the certificates in the same way. Fascinating stuff! All the best.

The father of the twins was from my research George Irvine the son of the blacksmith in Chapel of Garioch. George the twin when he married gave George Irvine as his father and even went so,far as to say Mary Jane and his father were married. My father always spoke of the Irvines and the split in the family and the 'making up' of the unusually spelt name Gaull which had been Gauld.
