| John could be John Glass died 1858-59 in Badhire, Cabrach, Banff (Register of Testaments) but not John Glass died 1838-39 in Heughead, Coldstone (Register of Testaments) as this John Glas was the son of Donald Glass and Helen Ogilvie from Auchabrack in the Forest of Birse (information from Sharon Jameson) |

c 4 Feb 1784, Corybraik appears in census with Ann Glass below died single aged 86 pauper formerly domestic servant in 1868 at Aldahuie (from death certificate) so we assume she cannot be Sophia Glass in Strathdon OPR entry dated 1806 Sept 30: John Kellas in Newton & Sophia Glass his spouse a son ALEXANDER |

| Anne Glass c 18 April 1792 Corrybreick d 1860, appears in 1841 census as domestic servant living at Wester Aldhie aged '45' with Sophia Glass aged '50' [presumably her sister], also Ann and Sophia Glass at Aldahuie in 1847 Poors List, Anne Glass died single on 13 Sept 1860 'aged 70' domestic servant at Aldahuie | |||

|||
| James c 13 July 1801 | |||
| Katharine c 22 Oct 1804 | |||
| Jane Glass m Hary McHardy [info from death cert of James McHardy 1774-1861] | |||
| Alexander McHardy c 16.2.1772 s Hary McHardy in Toldaquill | |||
| James McHardy c 1.3.1774 (s Hary McH in Achernack) m Isabel Stewart of Inveravon, Banffshire and lived in Cabrach, Aberdeenshire before returning to Torrancroy | |||
| Benjamin McHardy c 13.11.1778 ( s Hary McHardy in Blairnamuick) | |||
| Samuel McHardy c Sept 1781 (s Hary McHardy in Blairnamuick) m Isobel Mcombie he is widower in 1851 & farmer of 20 acres at Whitehillock, Cabrach, their children in Cabrach: Alexander c 1809, Ann c 1811 unmarried in 1851, John c 1816 unmarried in 1851, Isobel c 1818, Robert c 1824 | |||
| Charles McHardy c 15.7.1784 (s Hary McHardy in Blairnamuick) - looks like Charles McHardy married to Ann Stewart who had a daughter Jean in Cabrach in 1810 | |||
| Sophia Glass 1750-1832 m Duncan Allanach 1749-1807 (dates from Upper Donside MIs) | 3 | ||
| James Allanach c 21 Oct 1774 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill]. This looks like James Stuart who married in 1811 or 1812 Isabel Rannie who died in 1873 in Craigengour, Glenkindie (d Arthur Rannie & Isobel Gibbon). Their son who was christened Francis Stewart on 25 Jan 1818 (OPR) appears in the 1851 census as Francis Allanach [James Allanach, Craigengower m 6 Dec 1846 Sophia Moren Cairnherd, Auchendoir (OPR) also Ann Allanach Craigengour m 19 Nov 1854 John Thomson]. In May 1869 Penelope Grassick died in Midmar aged 57, daughter of James Allanach deceased and Isabella Allanach ms Rennie, m 6 Feb 1838 (OPR) to James Grassick ( eldest son of Archibald Grassick and Ann McHardy of Corriebreck). James Allanach died before 1841 census - for rest of his family see Debbie O'Reilly's web site. | |||
| Margaret Allanach c 8 April 1775 Aldihie [Aldahuie] | |||
| John Allanach c 7 Dec 1776 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill], m Elizabeth Anderson (d Willliam Anderson of Invernettie, until shortly before her death in Aberdeen in 1867 she lived at Faichlaw in parish of Tarland, and left a will which names her late husband John Allanach, and their son John and daughter Helen m Robert Farquharson and daughter Jane). John 'Alnach', Noughtyside is in Lonach Society List 1825, and 1841 census at Cottage of Auchernach shows John Allanach 65 Elizabeth 55 Charlotte 12 | |||
| Jean
Allanach c Feb 1780 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill] at Haugh of Auchernach aged 60
in 1841 Proximity suggest it was this Jean or Jane Allanach who was the mother of William Forbes b 1810 |
|||
| William Allanach c 7 Feb 1782 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill] | |||
| Alexander Allanach c 23 May 1784 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill] looks like Alexander 'Alnach', Glenconry in Lonach Society List 1825 and in 1841 census in Glenconry Alexander Allanach 55 Helen Allanach 60 and in 1851 census in Glenconry Alexander Allanach widower aged 69 | |||
| Isobel Allanach c 26 Dec 1785 Tolduchul [Tolduquhill] died in Towie in 1856 (death certificate and MI) | |||
| Robert
Allanach c 3 March 1789 Aldahuie allegedly m 1815 Mary Hay Glenbucket (see Doug
Hay's website) but death certificate shows parents of Robert who died 6 March 1856 in Glenbucket aged 65 as John Allanach and Sophia Mchardy |
|||
| Duncan Allanach twin of Robert c 3 March 1789 | |||
| Duncan Allanach c Tolduchul [Tolduquhill] 18 Feb 1795 | |||
| Benjamin Glass m Sophia Michie | |||
| Margaret c 25 Jan 1789 in Auldachie [we assume she is too young to be wife of John Kellas and mother of Jane in 1802-04 as well as Alexander in 1806] | 2 | ||
| Notes | |||
| 1 | 1841 census shows Betty Glass 15 and Jean Glass 13 apparently twice over - as female servants at Deldergy (Corgarff) and also at Dalgrassick (Deskryside)! These look like daughters of Robert Glass b 1777? | ||
| 2 | The OPR entry 'to John Kellas in Newton & Sophia Glass his spouse a son ALEXANDER' remains an enigma - three death certificates each show John Kellas and Margaret Kellas as parents but baptism records are rarely mistaken. Clearly Sophia d Samuel Glass remained single. But might it be that John Kellas married Margaret d Benjamin Glass after the death between 1806 and 1813 of a supposed elder sister Sophia d Benjamin Glass? | ||
| 3 | Allanach,
Duncan Sgt appears in the Pay List of the Strathdon Volunteers [Public
Record Office WO 13/4167] for which he earned one shilling per day for the
weekly muster between 1798 until 1801 as did Allanach, John Pte; Allanach, Will Pte; and Allanach, Will (2)
Pte. Presumably one William was Duncan's son and the other was
William Allanach m Helen McHardy whose son Daniel was christened in 1793 (OPR). For comments on the name Allanach see also my notes on Alias names |
