Looking for relatives

Dear Editor:

In 1835 Alexander Dingwall-Fordyce emigrated from Aberdeenshire in Scotland to Nichol near Fergus and in 1856 became the local superintendent of Common schools for the Northern Division of the County of Wellington.

I am interested to know more about his descendants and whether they are still based in the Fergus area. His father – also Alexander - had joined him in Nichol and lived at a farm he called Lescraigie. He became a magistrate,  and was the first warden of the County of Wellington, dying in 1852 at his property of Belsyde near Fergus.

I am interested to know if there are any living descendants of either of these gentlemen as I would be keen to get in touch.

I live in Aberdeenshire in the north of Scotland where the Dingwall–Fordyce family originate from. During our lockdown in the UK I have been doing some research into my family and it would be fascinating to learn about those who moved to Canada in the 19th century.

Andrew Dingwall-Fordyce, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
