My Grandfather was James (Jamie) Forbes Peddie, Blacksmith, born January 3, 1885, in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, died December 7, 1965 in Saskatchewan, Canada. Married twice, Margaret Lee (Scotland, who died 1920's) and Martha Hartman. Jamie died approximately 1965 in Canada.
My Father was John William Peddie 1917-2002 Canada.
Jamie had several sons and 1 daughter. His daughter was adopted by Mr & Mrs Leach (spelling?) who later moved to
USA. Efforts to trace her have been fruitless, so far.
We have been trying establish contact with any relatives (possibly cousins) and descendants of
Jamie. We know there are family members here in Canada, and possibly Scotland and USA. If you think you may be
connected, please contact us with details and we will share any further information we have.
I'm also interested in any information about John Smart Peddie, Surgeon, (HMS Terror?) Franklin Expedition, 1845
