Alexander Rhind married Isabel mcCombie may 26 1823 at St Nicholas Aberdeen.
I have information from that point forward. I also have some information
back on both sides but would like more. here is a summary of what I know:

RHIND
Alexander was the son of Alexander Rhind and bathia Donald who were married
feb 22 1794 at Huntly Aberdeen. Alexander was the second son and was born
April 23 1798 in Huntly. His older brother was Gordon born Sept 2 1796. he
had younger brothers William in 1800 and George in 1808.

I would like to know:

1. Who were the parents of Alexander Sr.?
2. Does anyone have any information on any of the families of the brothers
William, George and Gordon? I believe that this family is connected to the
Rhind burtcher shop in Hintly but would like to make contact with others
from this family connection if possible


MCCOMBIE

Isabel McCombie was born about 1796. Her father seems to be John McCombie
(born Nov. 1760 in Lynturk Aberdeen) who was a "tidesman" or taxman in
Aberdeen. I do not have a name for her mother. there seems to be some
confusion in what I have found in that Isabel seems to have been born in
London whereas others seem to have been born in Anberdden in that family.
Her father Johnis said to have moved to London with his job but obviously
Isabel was back in Aberdeen to marry Alexander.

John McCombie's parents were Isabel Wishart and William McCombie about whom
I have a great deal of information and have tracked back several
generations.

I would like to know:

1. any information on John McCombie "tidesman" father of Isabel

2. Who was Isabel's mother and where was Isabel born?

3. Is there other family in Aberdeen still?


Any information would be very much appreciated

ANN in Canada (where Isabel and John's sons Alexander Rhind and John Rhind
came in the 1860's and 1850's respectively)
