I am researching ancestors of William Riach and Elspeth Gibb from Aberdeenshire who immigrated to Australia in 1841 on Ship 'Gilmore' Parents of William are James Riach and Mary Chapman who had 8 children, names and Christening dates available. Would appreciate contact as effort to contact Sandy Riach on another URL was unsuccessful. I would be pleased to assist with details of descendents of William and Elspeth Riach.

Iam not at all sure of my facts here but I think my gt grandmothers parents were Alexander Cant and Jane Riach. My gt gran was Maggie or Margaret. In 1890 she was living in Caunton Nottinghamshire where she married George Henry Antcliff. I have had some help and a kind person replied that he had found them on the 1881 census living in Rafford Elgin Moray. Alexander was a farmer widowed and living with 6 children and sister in law Maggie Riach. Does any of this mean a thing to you?

Hello my great grandmother was Anne Murray Rioch born at Dunnottar,Scotland born 1856 her parents were David Rioch and Susannah Coutts they were married in Marykirk. I have done tons of research but can't seem to find much of the family before David Rioch - I tend to think this family changed their name from Riach to Rioch any ideas?

Just to update my posting of 2001. Alexander and Jane were not my ancestors. They are connected to my tree and I have now slotted them on their proper branch. My Ancestor was Alexander Cant b 1808 Todholes and his wife Margaret Gray.My major problem being- my gt grandmother had stated on her marriage cert that Alexander was her father, turned out to be her grandfather and she was illegitimate....So my dates were all out by about 30 years and I was looking at the wrong generation!
