On this day in 1985 YOU were born! It was a Sunday. 5:48 a.m. in the morning and you weighed in at 8lb 7oz. A most welcome addition to our family!
So, I bet you're keen to know what else happened on this day in the family history. I have four events for you: two births, one marriage and one death.
First up is the marriage of your 4xgreat grandparents, Alexander Matthew and Mary Byres. These folks are on grandma's side of the family - part of the Aberdeen clan. They were married on March 31st 1801 - that's 218 years ago - in Old Deer, Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Alexander was 22 years old and Mary was 23. They were farmers and they lived their whole lives in rural Aberdeenshire. They had five children. The child from whom we are directly descended is Ann. She was their second born.
We stay with Grandma's side - but with the Ferryden fishers - for the birth of Mary Ann West. She is your first cousin 3x removed. But oh so sadly, Mary Ann did not grow up. She drowned in the river at Ferryden when she was three years old. Mary Ann's parents were your 3x great uncle Peter West and Margaret Pert.
The second birthday is of Isabella Cruddas Hope who was born on this day in 1916. She is your 2nd cousin twice removed. We are on my dad's side now. And we're in Newcastle. Isabella is the third child of Elizabeth Ann Glover and John William Hope who was a railway signalman.
And lastly we have Robert John Glover. Robert is your 2nd cousin 2X removed and he died on this day in 1959. He was the son of William Joseph Cruddas Glover and Margaret Key Taylor. He was a butcher by trade and he married Ann Selina Salvidge in 1928. I have found no children for them. Robert died at age 63 and he left £1513 18s. 7d.
