If your William is the son of William Cheyne and Mary Annand/Armand, and twin of Robert, there is more to his story.

William had a son out of wedlock with Elizabeth (Betsy) Keith in 1848. He left his son, James, with his parents.

James married Christian Crichton and had 12 children. Their oldest, James, married and emigrated to Canada with his family.

Norwich - James Cheyne 1918 Died

Stuntkite — 2009-08-27 18:41:13Z

Does anyone know a James Cheyne who died in Norwich in 1918? There may be a link to the Long Family in Norwich but I need to find out more about James to substantiate the link.

Your help would be appreciated

Death of James Cheyne, Waterloo Veteran & Chelsea Pensioner, New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

alison2kennedy — 2009-08-09 07:28:52Z

The following is taken from The Buchan Observer, dated Friday, May 29, 1868 and I have replicated it here in case it is of help or interest to anyone else. I have no known connection to the family.

“DEATH OF A WATERLOO VETERAN – Another of the few surviving veterans of Waterloo, died on the 20th inst., at Sandy Stripe, New Pitsligo. James Cheyne joined the 92nd Highlanders while quite a young man, and was a member of that regiment till he obtained his discharge after the close of the war. He was engaged in the battles of Vittoria, Salamanca, Valentia, Corruna, Badajos, Quatre Bras, and Waterloo; and was wont to tell that he came out of these engagements without even a scar. The only mishap which occurred to him during his military career, was an injury to a leg by frost. This was the source of considerable annoyance to him for years afterwards. A brother, who also joined the army, was more unfortunate, he having been slain at Waterloo. James was possessed of good talents, and his narratives of the stirring scenes which he had passed through, and had witnessed, will long be remembered by those who had the pleasure of hearing them. He was of a lively temperament, had a fine, hardy, robust, constitution, rendered more robust by the severe discipline of the army; and had reached the advanced age of 85 years.”

(Notes:
The entry in the 1868 Death Register for the Parish of Aberlour in the County of Aberdeen shows:
No. 22; James Cheyne, Chelsea Pensioner (widower of Margaret Scroggie), died 1868, May Twentieth at 9h 45m am at Sandy Stripe, Glaslaw, male, age 83 years. Parents: John Cheyne, Farmer (deceased) & Ann Cheyne ms Ruddiman (deceased). Cause: Old Age. No Medical Attendant. Informant: John McRitchie (Neighbour). Registered 1868, May 23, at Aberdeen by J.L. Ironside, Registrar.

According to the IGI:
James Cheyne married Margaret Scroggie 12 June 1824, Gamrie
John Cheyne married Anne Ruddiman 1 June 1783, Alvah, Banffshire.)

Mary,
I am also the grandaughter of H.L. & Isola Cheyne. My father was John Jackson Cheyne in which the Cheyne Family called him Jack. I see that this post was from 9 years ago and hasn't been updated recently, I hope that you had found any information that you were looking for.

Re: Confused

ggcheyne — 2009-01-29 20:46:18Z

The earliest I have found reference to the name Cheyne is in a book about the Cheyne's & Wyatts where the name comes to the UK from France with the invasion by William the Conqueror in 1066.

From there on they dispersed all over the UK and and in Chelsea, London there is even a street called "Cheyne Walk"

If you have access to old TV programmes there is a UK Channel 4 production series called "Time Team" where in one episode they investigate an old house by archaeological investigation on some of the more colourful / disreputable ancestors in the family around the 1400.1500 I think.

I have so far traced my own tree back to the 1650's that are predominantly based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and so far appear reputable.

I hope this helps and if you need to do any tracing of ancestors in the UK one web site that is very good is Scotland People - there is a small cost element but it is very good.

Tana, I have been doing research on the descendants of Robert and Margaret, however, have been unable to find out anything about these two and who their parents are.
I believe the parents of Robert may be Robert Stevenson and Mary Murray, but I am not definite about this.
Do you have any information on them. Valerie

Hi Shaun,
I see you are a professional genealogist, by viewing many internet pages.I was wondering have you got any relatives or knowledge of the Cheyne's from the Lurgan / Waringstown area.

Cheyne seems to be an unusual name, but I am having difficulty finding infomation on my grandmothers line.

Briefly my grandmothers name was Elizabeth Cheyne before she married my grandfather,James Cardwell.She was born in the Lurgan area on 26th April 1895. She had a brother Samuel and a sister Meggy. Hope you can help.

They married in Scotland in 1892; their daughter, Isabella, was born in 1902 in Scotland.

The children currently reside in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC, except my m-in-law.

I have discussed the evidence with living members of the family and we are agreed that my wife is probably the great grand daughter of Thomas Donald and Hellen Cheyne. It all hinges on the interpretation of the birth certificate of an illegitimate child. We may never know for sure.
When the 1911 census appears in 1912 we may discover more, but at the moment I am reluctant to include any more details.

Re: CHEYNE/MASSIE Connections

abigail159 — 2006-09-26 21:29:36Z

Dear James,

I got very excited when I read the surnames but I am afraid my connections to these names are further back.

In Auchterles, Parish of Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland,

William Cheyne and Margaret Massie married on the 26th October, 1839.

They had two sons George born 21st December 1839 and James, christened 6th June, 1841.

After this Margaret disappears and George and James are brought up at their grandfather's farm in Fyvie. His name was James Cheyne and his wife was Isabel Horne.

I lose George and James after the 1851 census. Do they connect to you?

Regards

Abigail
