Nostalgic memories of Elgin's local history

Share your own memories of Elgin and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I am trying to trace the children or grand children of the late Charlotte Fisher of Main Street, Elgin. My mother was her daughter, Sophia Isabela, who sadly passed away last week. Any information would be appreciated.
Trying to locate family. If anyone could give us any information, it would be greatly appreciated. We are looking for the Fisher family or other relatives of them, particularly trying to find informaton of Charlotte Fisher who lived in Main Street, New Elgin. She had a son, Charlie Fisher born 1939, there were other siblings and family but I don't have any information of them.
My great, great grandmother lived here. Mary Norris (Dick). She died there in 1922. I don't know how far back in the family this house went.
My grandfather, Robert (Bob) and his wife, Margaret (Maggie) Stewart/Stuart, along with their two children, lived at The Wards, Elgin, about 1900. Robert was employed at the railway station there. A third child, James Urquhart, was born at The Wards, 6th October 1900.
I remember growing up in Elgin (Bishopmill). All my family have passed on now, but I still visit as often as I can, each time I go there I feel a bolt of pride as I walk down the High Street, happy days.
