    1 John Forman(1819-1906)=Margaret Bruce(1820-1906) JOHN FORMAN and MARGARET BRUCE (Written by Thomas Summers West 1927-2010) Name John Forman Margaret Bruce Born Wed. 4 Aug. 1819 Tues. 21 Nov. 1820 Place Buchanhaven, Peterhead. Peterhead. Married Sat. 9 May 1840, Buchanhaven, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Died Thurs. 25 Jan. 1906 Sat. 3 Feb. 1906 Place 6 Harbour St., Buchanhaven 6 Harbour St., Buchanhaven Buried Constitution St. Cemetery, Peterhead, both in Lair C108 Occupation Fisherman Parents:- Father John Forman Robert Bruce Mother Margaret Bruce Elizabeth Buchan _____________________________________________________________________ Children: John Forman May 1841 d July 1841 Elizabeth Forman 8 Sept 1842 d1927 William Forman 14 Jan.1847 d1922 Robert Forman 17 Jun.1849 Margaret Forman 14 Aug.1851 Jean Birnie Forman 10 Jan. 1854 d1935 James Forman 5 Mar 1856 d1918 Christian Ann Forman 24 Jan 1858 d1899 Alexander Jamieson Forman 24 Jan 1858 Joseph Forman 10 May 1860 d1931 ________________________________________________________________ 29 JOHN FORMAN (1819-1906) My great-grandfather John Forman was born/baptised on 4 August 1819, apparently the only child of his father John Forman and mother Margaret Bruce in the fishing village of Buchanhaven which was not then a part of Peterhead. The Peterhead OPR record of the event [1] reads:- ‘4th August 1819. John Forman, fisherman in Buchanhaven and Margaret Bruce his wife had a son baptised and named John’. When I started researching this part of my ancestry, I found it confusing that there were two John Forman’s one the son of the other who both married Margaret Bruce’s. To avoid confusion when both are being discussed together, I will call the father John Sr.

  • Projects Funded
    NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

  • Lotted Lands and Planned Villages in North-East Scotland*
    / / Lotted lands and planned villages in north-east Scotland* by Douglas G. Lockhart Abstract Between 17zo and the 185os some 490 planned villages, characterized by a regular layout of streets, building plots and adjacent fields (or Lotted Lands) were founded on estates throughout Scotland including loo or so in north-east Scotland. Lotted lands were fields, typically subdivided into one- or two-acr e lots, which were leased to villagers to grow crops such as oats and turnips and for grazing cattle and horses. Agricultural activities were particularly important where labouring and domestic industries provided insufficient employment. Working lotted lands gradually became less popular during the first half of the twentieth century though they continued to exist in a few places until the 197os. Planned villages founded by landowners on their estates during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are one of the most distinctive settlement types in Scotland and Ireland. Their founding in such large numbers in this period is a feature which distinguishes the Scottish and Irish rural landscape from that of England. Typically, the ground plan and provision of the basic infrastructure of streets, drainage and water supply, and the construction of a few public buildings was undertaken by the landowner. Incoming families normally built their own homes or contracted with tradesmen to build for them. In all, some 49o villages were founded on landed estates throughout the Scottish mainland and in the Hebrides and Orkney Islands, while it has been estimated that about 500 villages were planned or re-planned in Ireland.1 A system of small and medium-sized villages was created in Scotland where previously only hamlets such as kirktowns at parish churches and burghs had existed.
