Banffshire memories
Turriff, Aberdeenshire 1851
My great-great-grandparents show up, at Turriff, in the Scotland Census of 1851 :-
Address: Bridgend of Gask (I wonder where this place/croft was?).
The Head of the Household was James Urquhart ,'Farmer of 4 acres and Day Labourer.' He had been born at Turriff. His wife was Margaret Urquhart (nee Dey). She had been born in the Parish of Bellie, Banffshire. The couple's children, according to the 1851 Census, all born at Turriff, were:
Ann Urquhart ; Malen Urquhart ; Isabella Urquhart ; John Urquhart.
Summers in New Byth
Happy holidays. My aunt Bella stayed in the first house in New Byth and my uncle in the last house. My dad was raised and brought up here and my grannie never left the village. She fostered and adopted a number of children. Every summer holidays my brother and I came with our mum and dad and it was so carefree. My mum died last year, and in her possessions was an old record of my grannie being interviewed by a very polite BBC lady. Because grannie hadn't left the village she spoke with a very strong Byth accent. I have old photos from Byth as well. Aileen
Searching
I knew my grandfather and grandmother came from the area and we past through onto the town where they lived last - Strichen which was not too far away from New Pitsligo. I treasured the stillness and history of the area. Happy memories. Still searching for family from here Watt and Willox.

My Birthplace
I was born in New Pitsligo, Craigmaud farm or croft on July 10th 1929. My father was John Watt too, my mother was Charlotte Walker. I live nearby in Mintlaw. Father was in business at Ugie Motors, Strichen. I am looking for relatives of my late mother.
My House in New Pitslogo
I used to live at No 39 Low Street for a good few years. My neighbours Stanley Robertson, William and Christine McPherson and Jeeny Stewart and across from me were the Mutches. I also went to the school there from 1962 until 1970.
The 'Shakey' Bridge
My mother left Yorkshire with me in 1945 when I was four years old. She worked for a Mrs Curzon at Arrochar house in Rothiemay as a cook and general help. I think the owners were titled people. I remember collecting daisies and dandelions in the garden. There was also agirl of about nine years old named Marion who lived at the adjacent house. She would take me on the bridge and shake it violently. My mother would have to take a boat on the River Deveron for shopping in Aberdeen. I don't think she rowed across herself! One day during a severe winter she slipped on the bridge and her handbag with all her important papers went over the side and was seen no more. She sustained minor cuts and bruises. I still have the photos which were taken of me aged four in Huntley. Mum had to put my long hair in 'rags' hoping I could show off... Read more
