Glenbuchat Heritage

William Glennie, Carpenter died at Aberdeen 19.08.1922 was born William Paterson on 24.10.1859. He was an illegitimate child his mother being Jane Paterson born 03.11.1835 and his father was Alexander Glennie born 23.12.1833. Alexander Glennie emigrated to New Zealand in 1859 and died at Invercargill aged 83 years on 08.12.1916. He is interred in the Eastern Cemetery, Invercargill.

By the time of the 1881 Census William Paterson had changed his surname to Glennie and in the 1901 Census was living with his aunt Mary Jane Kellas and her husband James Kellas at Cottown Farm, Strathdon.

Alexander Glennie was my great uncle.

William Glennie Paterson was my 2nd cousin, once removed.His Mother , Jane Paterson was my Grandmother's ( Jane Murdoch )maternal 1st cousin.His Grandmother, Margaret Murdoch was my 2nd Great Grand Aunt.1881 & 1891 census was at Sawmill with the Stuarts,1901 with Kellas at Cottown & 1911 at Baltimore with brother-in-law Charles Ogg family. I have a photo of the gravestone in my family tree.

I wonder if we have a photograph anywhere of William Patterson Glennie or the sawmill part of the Castle Newe estate?

If you want anything further on Alexander Glennie including photographs please let me know. I have much information and history in my files.
