4 Andrew GREIG (1730?) The earliest we can trace our Greig Ancestors is to Andrew GREIG, possibly born circa 1730, and married to Agnes MURRAY. Agnes MURRAY and Andrew GREIG had the following children: Location of Gavell or Gaval. +2 James GREIG (b. 17 July 1750 Gavell (?Gaval) ) OLD DEER In the north-eastern portion of the parish, lies the old parish of Fetterangus, which is in Banffshire, and comprehends the village of Fetterangus, the lands of Gavals, Cabra, and the Hythies Gaval - where is this place? The National Archives of Scotland hold a Plan of the lands of Gaval, [then in the shire of Banff], Aberdeenshire dated Second Generation 2. James GREIG, son of Andrew GREIG and Agnes MURRAY, was born on 17 July 1750 in Old Deer, Aberdeenshire. He was christened on 19 July 1750 in Old Deer. Copy of birth entry from Scotland's People shows 17 July 1750 GREIG - Andrew Greig in Upper Gavell had a child born of his Spouse Agnes Murray and baptized the 19th of the same month and named James. Witnesses - James Pirie in Mains of Gavell and George Pirie in Upper Gavell. 4

5 We found a marriage between James Greig and Janet Philip for 26 May 1768 at Old Deer, Aberdeenshire James GREIG had the following children: Third Generation +3 John GREIG ( ) +4?William GREIG (Lived Stevensburn - Was witness at the birth of George, son of John Greig and Sophia Milne) (Stevensburn is about 9 miles to the west of Old Deer) +5?George GREIG (Lived Stevensburn - Was witness at the birth of George, son of John Greig and Sophia Milne) 3. John GREIG, son of James GREIG, was born in 1770 in New Deer, Aberdeenshire. Initially, he worked as an Agricultural Labourer and then became a Meal Miller. In 1800 Sophia gave birth to an illegitimate son, George (as per his birth registry), who was the child of John Greig. As a consequence, John married Sophia MILNE on 19 December 1801 in New Deer when he was 21 and Sophia was 15 (as per copy of marriage entry from Scotland's People). The 1841 census shows that John, Sophia and their children, Andrew, Charles, William and Alexander were all living at Upper Church Street, Turriff. John was aged 65 and Sophia 55. By the time the 1851 census was taken, Sophia had died leaving John now aged 78 and a "Pauper" looking after his son William age 32 who was listed as "disabled", living at Path, Turriff, Aberdeenshire. It would appear that after John's death, William his disabled son, was sent to live at the Parochial Boarding House at 6 Market Street, Turriff (see Item Entry No. 13). Sophia MILNE was born in 29 August 1786 in New Deer, Aberdeenshire (as per 1841 census) and died some time between 1841 to 1851 but despite extensive search, we cannot find a death certificate for her. Sophia and John GREIG had the following children: +6 George GREIG [illegt] ( ) +7 Alexander GREIG ( ) +8 John GREIG ( ) +9 James GREIG ( ) +10 Benjamin GREIG (1809- ) +11 Andrew GREIG ( ) +12 Charles Gardner GREIG ( ) +13 William GREIG ( ) Fourth Generation 6. George GREIG, the illegitimate son of John GREIG and Sophia MILNE, was born on 10 November 1800 in Stevensburn, New Deer, Aberdeenshire. Copy of Birth Entry from Scotland's People reads 1800, Nov. 10th Greig - John Greig at Craigmill had a son brought forth in fornication by Sophia Milne in Broomhill, baptized named George. Witnesses George & William Greig in Stevensburn. 5

6 George became a Master Mason & Corporation Labourer and married twice. First to Jane or Jean Skene on 3 December 1825 at Turriff, Aberdeenshire and second to Jean Watt on 20 October 1857 at Balgaveny, Forgue, Aberdeenshire. His first wife, Jean or Jane SKENE was born on 20 February 1798 in Boharm, Morayshire, and died on 14 February 1844 in MacDuff aged 45. She was buried in Doune Graveyard, MacDuff, Banffshire - stone number 260. His second wife, Jean Watt was born on 17 August 1807 also in Boharm, Morayshire and died on 22 February 1885 at 3 Tarlair Street, MacDuff, Banffshire. Her death certificate shows that she was the daughter of John Watt, a Crofter and Janet Strachan. The death informant was her Stepson George Greig of 11 Crook O' Nest Street, MacDuff. There were no children by this second marriage. George died of senile decay on 15 August 1886 in MacDuff, Gamrie, Banffshire aged 85 and is buried beside his first wife Jean but there are no dates written for George on the gravestone. His death certificate shows that he was 85 when he died and was living at 3 Tarlair Street, MacDuff and the death informant was his son George of 4 Crook O' Ness Street, MacDuff. Jean (first wife) and George GREIG [illegt] had the following children: +14 George GREIG ( ) +15 Alexander GREIG (1828- ) +16 William GREIG (1831- ) +17 Jean\Jane GREIG (1838?- ) +18 Robert Valder GREIG ( ) 7. Alexander GREIG, a Gardener & Forester, was the son of John GREIG and Sophia MILNE, and was born in 1802 in New Deer. Alexander married twice, first to Mary Cowie in 1823 and then to Jane Cruickshank in His first wife, Mary COWIE was born about 1801 and was the daughter of William Cowie, a Carpenter and Helen Murray. Alexander married her on 16 December 1823 in Forgue, Banffshire. At the age of 67, on 1 January 1868 Mary died at Netherdale, Marnoch, Banffshire from chronic diarrhoea. Her death informant was a neighbour, William Cruickshank. After his first wife's death, Alexander, now aged 67, married Jane CRUICKSHANK on 4 December 1869 in Moss-side Parish Church. Jane was aged 31, a domestic servant who parents were William Cruickshank, a Farmer and his wife Elspet Cruickshank (nee Anderson). Alexander died of retention of urine and cystitis on 5 January 1888 at 3 Ross Street, MacDuff. His death was registered by George Greig, nephew, of 11 Crook O' Nest Street, MacDuff. Jane CRUICKSHANK was born in 1838 in Marnoch, Banffshire and after working as a Domestic Servant, she became a Dressmaker. She died of Jaundice on 13 March 1895 at 3 Ross Street, MacDuff and her death was registered by her father Wm. Cruickshank of 2 Ross St., MacDuff, Banffshire. 8. John GREIG, son of John GREIG and Sophia MILNE, was born on 9 April 1805 in Montquitter, Auchterless, Bannfsh. He appeared in the census "1841/1851/1861/1881" with his wife Jane and children. At first John was an Agricultural Labourer and then became a Malster. 6

Sometime between March 183 and March 1833, he married Anne Stephen, the daughter of William T. Stephen, a Weaver and Janet Paterson. The census records for 1841 shows he was living in the High Street of MacDuff with his wife and children, but by 1851 he had moved to the town of Banff and was still there living at 12 Low Shore, with his family in James worked for Garden Grant & Co., General Merchants and Corn Mealers in the town of Banff. Sadly and for some unknown reason, James hanged himself on 20 December 1861 at the age of 53 (Interestingly, another member of staff, James Edward Kyber, who also worked for Garden Grant also committed suicide 8

9 the same year - was there something going wrong within this Company! James Edward Kyber was a Lithuanian and is said to haunt the Banff Market Arms Hotel - that's another research story to be done!) The Coroner ruled that James hanged himself "whilst in a state of great mental depression". James' death certificate shows his parents as John Greig, Labourer and Sophia Greig, m.s. Milne, deceased. Informant was Charles Greig, brother and also on the information from Mr. R. Gordon, Procurator Fiscal. James was buried in MacDuff Parish Church [Doune Cemetery].

NOTE: Mary Jean Thomson's parents William Thomson and Ann Wilson were married on 7 Dec 1849 in Forglen, Banffshire (as per copy of marriage entry from Scotland's People) Since the compilation of this Biblio. another marriage (the 4th) has come to light in respect of Robert Greig: Click here to see Addenda Page24 to view the new information. After the death of Violet, Robert married Mary Jean Thomson, a Cook, who was born on 27 January 1858 Tullynessle, Aberdnsh. The wedding took place at 20 Handillon (sic) Place, Aberdeen (as per copy of marriage certificate). Mary was the daughter of William Thomson, a Farm Servant and Ann Wilson. On Mary Jean Thomson's death certificate for 1 January 1919 it reveals that her husband was a George Garret Douglas, a Waiter with the S.M. Expeditionary Force Canteen. The 1901 census shows that Robert, aged 37 was employed as a Baker living at the Clyde Hotel, Shore Road, Dunoon, with his wife Mary, age 38 and a son named Sidney who appears to have been born in 1901 in Beith, Ayrshire. Sydney's mother was a Miss Mary Watt who died in Canada, but was born in Scotland! We next find Robert Greig with a new wife Margaret leaving on the SS Parisian on 4th October 1912 sailing from Glasgow bound for Boston, Massachusetts. With them is Robert's son Sydney [now stepson to Margaret]. The shipping records show that Robert was from Shieldhall, Govan, Glasgow and that his last known address was Brodick (Isle of Arran) Victoria Greig shows on her ancestry web page that her relative is Sidney Sturrock Watt Greig, born 6 Feb 1900 in Beith and died 15 July 1972 in Chapleau, Ontario, Canada. We found a birth certificate for Sidney Greig Watt or Sturrock who born illegitimately on 6 Feb 1900 at 31 Reform Street, Beith, Ayrshire. The certificate shows that his mother was Mary Watt, the widow of David Sturrock, School Teacher who died on 17 January 1898 in Blenheim, New Zealand. Mary was a House Keeper at the time. Marriage entry shows that Mary Stephen Watt married David Sturrock in Old Machar, Aberdeen in

14 Note: Margaret was born Margaret Swanston We conclude from this that Sidney, born Beith 1900, is the illegitimate son of Robert Greig. circa 1877 and was the daughter of Sidney died on 15 July 1972 in Chapleau, Ontario, Canada. (as per Victoria Greig in John Swainston, a Dairyman, and Ancestry.com). Janet Lochead Steel. Margaret married Robert Greig, a Pastry Cook on According to another researcher (Helen Allan [HF-Allan@bigpond.com]) Sidney's mother 3 Sep 1912 at 165 St.Vincent St., Mary Sturrock, returned to New Zealand and to her husband David Sturrock!. Apparently her Glasgow. She was working as a husband David was not dead as she stated on her son's birth certificate. We found an entry Restaurant Cook at the time and gave her home address as Riverside Cottage, via "Find my Past" for a Miss M. Sturrock who left for Wellington, New Zealand on 2 Titchfield St., Kilmarnock. She also gave February 1911 on the SS Ruapehu but we are not sure if this is one and the same person. her age as 35 and Single.
