Beattie Family
This is my paternal grandmother’s family.
The earliest confirmed date I have is 1855, but there are earlier unconfirmed dates of 1816 and 1833. This family migrated from Northern Ireland to Lanarkshire some time between 1851 and 1855. In Scotland the geographical area is Cadder, while in Northern Ireland it looks to be the border area of Fermanagh and Tyrone.
Here are my family groups for my immediate family line…
- Curry William BETTY (c.1815-1870) and Jane KELLY (c.1833 – 1912)
- Catherine (c.1853 – 1919)
- Jane (1855 – )
- William Henry (1856 – 1895)
- Curry (1858 – 1933)
- Christina (1861 – 1906) Twin sister
- Margaret (1861 – 1884) Twin sister
- John (1864 – ?)
- Hugh (1866 – 1871)
- Samuel (1868 – ?)
- Thomas (1871 – 1943)
- William Henry BEATTIE (1856 – 1895) and Martha MONTGOMERY (1863-1933)
- Martha (c.1882 – ?)
- Jeannie (1884 – ?)
- William (1886 – ?)

I have a feeling that Currie Beattie (1888-1963) may be my maternal grandfather……
Hi Graeme,
Yes, Currie Beattie would be your maternal grandfather. Your Mum and my grandmother, Sarah (Sadie) were sisters.
I have a Yahoo group for Beattie family research if you would like to see more than what I have added to this blog. If you’d like to visit, you can click here: Beattie Family Research
Thanks for dropping by, it’s nice to hear from you.
It also reminds me that I haven’t updated this page in a very long time. So I think I’ll do that now.
Aunt Sadie was your Grandmother… So is your dad Billy or Ray?
(Sorry for not checking this site for the last 17 months!)

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for the offer of the BMD certificates.
I have sent you an invitation from the Beattie group on Yahoo. I used your Yahoo address as provided to me by Germaine in Australia. Hopefully you have received the invitation by now.
If not, let me know and I will send another one to the address you have used here.
We have shared a range of BMD certificates there, and we would love to have your information alongside ours.
Regarding the Bedlay cemetery information – do you also have the lair information? I have found that to be especially enlightening.
I look forward to hearing from you.
