Message Board Post:
Hello Mary and Clive,
(Clive) I believe that I sent this message to you privately, but I also have just joined
the CARGILL list and would like to also post my info here.
We have just unearthed some old letters and diary of my great grandmother Mary Petrie
SMITH born in Arbroath Sept 18, 1887. Here is what I have.
SWANKIE
Mary Petrie SMITH's father is Peter SMITH born 9th October 1857 in Arbroath, living in
Arbroath in 1881
Peter Smith is the son of Peter Smith (Sr.) and Isabella SWANKIE also living in Arbroath
in 1881.
CARGILL
In my great grandmother's diary she mentions her sister marries a Peter CARGILL and
lives in Arbroath up to the 1950's.
In 1881 my great grandmother's parents (she was not born yet) lived a 10 Seagate in
Arbroath. The neighbours that surround them are CARGILL's, SWANKIE's and
SMITH's. This may be why her sister married a CARGILL.
I also have an old picture taken circa 1910, of fisherwomen and a few children on South
Street in Arbroath. The people in the photo are named: Alex CARGILL, Alexina CARGILL,
Annie STEEL, Kittie SPINK nee CHARLES, Robert SWANKIE, Annie Eaton, Meg SWAN, Joanne
Campbell, Betsey CARGILL, Isobelle SMITH (my great great grandmother), Annie SMITH and
Minnie Campbell.
If any of this ties in with your information, please let me know.
