March 23rd

On this day in 1844 Alexander Christie married Susan Watt.  Alexander is a 3x great uncle of yours and I would normally say that he was a Christie of Aberdeenshire.  But this Christie didn't make the move as many other of his clan did from Banffshire.

Alexander and Susan were married in Fordyce, Banffshire.  He was 31 years old and Susan was 35.  They had one daughter.  Theirs was a farming family for the most part although Alexander had also turned his hand at being a grocer in Portsoy, a village in Fordyce parish.
