In 1815 Hellen Christie was born. She is your 3rd great aunt. She was born in Mannellan in Banffshire, Scotland. She was the 2nd child of nine for farmers John Christie and Helen Gordon. She was baptised on May 14th.
It's also the birthday of your great great grandmother Isabella Donald. She was born in Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire to farmer George Donald and Ann Matthew. She was their fourth child and many more (not totally sure just how many) followed.
Then there's the birth of your 3x great aunt, Christian Smith Donald in 1847. She's a sister of Hellen above but by the time Christian was born, the family had moved into Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire.
It's certainly the day for the Donalds! Next up is Ann Donald - another 3rd great aunt of yours - sister to Hellen and Christian. On this day in 1856 she married Andrew Clark. At the time of the marriage she was 19 years old and a domestic servant. Andrew was 26 and a farm servant. They were married in Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire.
Now to a 2nd great-aunt - but still in the same family - the Aberdeenshire clan. Christina Christie died on this day in 1891. She was just 19 years old. She died at Ewebrae Croft. She was a domesic servant, the daughter of your great great grandparents, Adam Christie and Isabella Donald (same person as above). Cause of death was Phthisis Pulmonalis.
