The Aberdeen Brebner/Bremner Families in 1851
Many of the Aberdeen Brebner/Bremner families arrived in that city during the later years of the industrial revolution with the boom in railway
construction in the late 1840s. After the arrival of the railway in Aberdeen in 1855, the population started to grow quickly with the arrival
of predominantly farm labourers looking for work in the mechanized textile and ship-building industries in Aberdeen.
1851 was the first detailed census that listed the birthplaces of those enumerated, so that a clearer picture of the orgins of the population of
Aberdeen can be determined from this time forward.
The accompanying graphic (superimposed on the 1902 Ordnance Survey map) shows the Aberdeen locations of those Brebner/Bremner families;
the table below
gives their addresses and links to the compiled genealogies. Clicking on the appropriate number on the accompanying
map will also download the genealogy.
Families represented with a green dot have been shown to have been in Aberdeen at least as early as 1800, those
with an amber dot from 1825 and those with a red dot being the most recent arrivals after 1841
It's interesting to note the proximity of related families.
It's my hope that by seeing a visual representation of their homes within the city, that some conclusions as to linking the groups may be made.
Note that of the twenty families represented on the map, the ancestors of only 4 were actually in Aberdeen in 1800.
