Forres Episcopal Church Forres Episcopal Church History The history of the Episcopal Church in Forres is fragmentary but there are some glimpses into its history within a few sources. A Meeting House is recorded have been in use in 1708 when Mr William Falconer, late minister of Dyke was noted in the Burgh minutes, and which went out of use in 1715. In 1724 a John Squyre was minister. In the 1730’s there was a Meeting House at the farm of Lockehills or Lochyhills, just outside the town. A Chapel was in Forres in 1742 when a Mr Hugh Innes was recorded in the Session Record of Forres dated 24 December that he ‘preaches statedly in Town, and Baptizes the children of persons, though he is not qualified in terms of Law.’ It was sited near Anderson’s Institute (school) but was destroyed in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. Although some kind of services are noted to have continued in the town including that in 1774 which was recorded in the diary of Elizabeth Rose of Kilravock it was not until 1841 that an Episcopal Church was built in Forres. The Church was built with money raised by David Low Bishop of Ross, Argyll and the Isles who had been consecrated a Bishop in 1819 and would later become Bishop of Moray. Built in an Italian Style it was designed by Patrick Wilson of Edinburgh and refitted in 1844. In 1868 a school was added to the rear, which closed in 1926.

  • Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011
    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).

ANALYSIS OF THE LIST,357 II. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES,363 NOTES ON SUPPLEMENTARY LIST, . 386 III. ILLUSTRATIVE DOCUMENTS,390 . PREFACE THE list here printed is the bare official record of our last historical romance. There were afterwards in Great Britain Gordon Riots, and Bristol Riots, and Peterloo itself—these, though tragic, were ephemeral: but the march of the High- landers on London in 1745 was a civil war, perhaps the most picturesque and the most difficult to realise of all such con- flicts. For the tale in brief is this :— A hundred and forty-five years ago a French-born prince of British origin leaves Belleisle and lands in the Western Highlands. He is alone with seven followers, and a handful of louis d’ors, but his name with its traditions, and his own gallant bearing, rally round him a few chiefs and their followers.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
