Yes, I can tell you quite a lot about them. Cissie Foubister from the Park, Deerness, lived all her life in Deerness ending up at Drumrossie. Sally Cormack married a Scott and went to live in Aberdeenshire and raised a family of boys at Cairnbanno Farm. Maggie Stove married a Ritch and lived her life at Southernwood, Deerness, don't think she had any family. Mimie Stove Married Willick Scott at Pickletillum Deerness and had a son. Aggie Aitken came from Westersands and also married but unsure of where she settled.
