Hi,

David is in my extended Oag tree.
His father, Alexander, was born 27 Dec 1835 & bpt 6 Jan 1836 at Thrumster, Wick, Caithness. His mother, Jane Robertson, was born 2 Jul 1840 & bpt 19 Jul 1840 at Watten, Caithness. They died 5 Mar 1900 and 13 May 1923 respectively at Thrumster Little, Wick, Caithness.

I believe that David married Johan Neilson on 05 May 1925 and had 6 children (I have no confirmation as yet).

I would be most interested if you could confirm any of the info on David and if you are interested I could give you info to take you further back in time.

Regards,

Val Oag

Hi Val :-).

The information i have on David does confirm some of what you've told me, although the date i have for the birth of his father Alexander Oag is different (b.08/01/1836) but could be wrong.
The date of his death is the same as yours (d.05/03/1900), as well as David's mother Jane Robertson (daughter of David Robertson & Elizabeth Ryrie) (b.02/061840, d.13/03/1836).

They were married (19/03/1836 wick, Caithness).

David married a lady named Johan Robertson (daughter of Alexander Hugh Fraser & Isabella Ogilvy Robertson).
on 15/05/1923, in wick, of course.

They had 6 children from this marriage.

*Joan Robertson Oag b.1926
*Jane(jean)Robertson Oag b.1928
*Margaret Oag b.?
*Vida Isabel Oag b.1933 (my Nanna, whom lives in here in Australia)
*Alistair (Alexander) Oag b.1935
*Peter Oag b.1937

I have more information if you would like it, as i would love to hear yours.

thank you, and hope to hear from you soon.

Amy

hi Val,
was just told that David Oags wife, Johan Robertson, was adopted. Neilson was her adopted name. She found her birth mother later on in her life, (Isabella Ogilvy Robertson).
That's why there was confusion with her last name.

I seem to have lost a reply to you. I supposedly sent a copy of my info, maybe it was too large.

May I suggest that you contact me directly at vp.oag@ntlworld.com.
