Annie did Peters age at death match his birth in 1828? I think the most likely answer is that Jessie didn't know the name's of her grandparents so just made some up. I have searched for a Peter Morrison born around 1828 with parents George and Anne and I cant find one. Georgina. |

Hi Anne, I've just put Low Street, Aberdeenshire into Google. There is a funeral directors coming up at 102 Low Street, New Pitsligo, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire. There must still be a Low Street there. Hope you can solve your mystery. Kind Regards Julie |

Low Street is one of the longest streets in New Pitsligo. Good news or bad news!? Denis. |

Annie forget Low Street being a workhouse, they are all poorhouses...The reason I couldn't find it it's in Tyrie. This is who is living there in 1881....

Hiya Sorry, i've not been on GR, i've been stuck on 'Scottish People' all day and have spent a FORTUNE !!!! Anyway, i have managed to confirm that the marriage cert i have for Peter Morrison is def mine and my only conclusion with regards to the death cert or Peter Morrison with different parents is purely that the daughter who informed on her fathers death just didn't know her grandparents name and made them up. I still haven't found if 49 LOW STREET is a poor house, but its in NEW PITSLIGO ABERDEENSHIRE. Georgina, i have no clue on the areas of scotland but i am assuming that TYRIE is not correct? Unless Tyrie is in New Pitsligo? THANKS ALL SO MUCH Annie xx |

The 1874 OS map shows a Low Street in Pitsligo and a Poorhouse. It's hard to see on the map but the Poorhouse appears to be between Low Street and an adjacent street. I don't want to mislead you so best you look at it yourself. Just google for a website called ' Old Maps' and follow the instructions. In the 1901 census a Mary Gerrie, described as ' Matron of Poorhouse' stayed in Low Street. Tyrie is about six miles north-east of New Pitsligo. All you need to get is one of those budget road atlases from a budget bookshop. In the meantime use the website Streetmap. To help you get to grips with Scotland perhaps google for GENUKI and follow the instructions. Denis. |

Denis Thank you, i didn't think to look at old maps (i've used that site before regarding my london family). Sorry, i should have explained, I now live in Spain but when i did live in the UK my only time up to scotland was family holidays as a little girl. If 49 low street is a poor house then it might be that i do have the wrong death cert for Peter Morrison after all and it was a fluke that he was also married to an Mary Burnett! Thanks, Annie |
