My GGGmother was Sophia Morgan (chr. 21 Aug 1806, Kintore, died 9 Dec 1893 Kemnay).  Sophia had an illegitimate son, Alexander (b. 2 Feb 1844 Kemnay, d. 20 Mar 1944 Kemnay).  Alexander went on to become Inspector of Poor, Registrar, Postmaster, Clerk to School Board etc - some of which is documented elsewhere on this site under Bellaville/Park View history.

On Alexander's Kemnay OPR record for his birth/christening his father is listed as James Whyte. On his marriage to Annabella Thom 1 Jul 1870 he lists his father as James Whyte, Hotelkeeper.  On his marriage to Elizabeth Watt 22 Dec 1908 he lists his father as James Whyte, Contractor (deceased).  His death cert. lists his father as James Whyte, Hotelkeeper (deceased); informant James Strath Whyte son.
