After beavering away at St Combs connections recently, I discovered that an error had been made in the previous post.
Father and son, Alexander and Andrew Strachan, were presented as connected to me via Elizabeth Buchan (b1874). Elizabeth was shown as a granddaughter of John (Park’s Jockie) Buchan (b1792). However, it turns out that her father was not Peter Buchan, the son of ‘Park’s Jockie’, but actually Peter Buchan, the son of ‘Park’s Pet’. ‘Park’ was a tee-name for their father, Peter Buchan. (If you’ve never heard of tee-names, Ian Kenn gives a good explanation on his site Portal to Portlethen.)
The following updated chart shows the closest way the five men were connected to me (based on current knowledge):
(Note: Andrew Bruce was the nephew of Charles Bruce but he’s more closely connected to me through his wife, Ann Buchan)
