  Medical Notes:

John was killed when he was jammed between a hutch of ironstone and the roof of the pit. His death was instantaneous. No medical attendant saw him.

His father John Vallely of Carfin notified the registrar William Richard at Holytown on June 10 1875 of his son's death, and made his X mark. ²

John married John VALLELY, son of John VALLELY and Mary ROCKS.¹ (John VALLELY was born about 1835 in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland ⁵ and died after 10 Jun 1875.)

  Marriage Notes:

"348. Fordyce (George), the first of the family, chiefly referred to in this Record, of whom any account has reached us, was buried in the churchyard of Turriff, Aberdeenshire. The tombstone over his remains bears the inscription : ' Here lyes an honest man called George Fordyce in Haughes of Ashogle, who departed this life May 6, anno 1681. As also Barbara Thomson his spouse, who died 9th January, 1695.' .....

..... From 1681, when the subject of this notice died, till the death of his widow in 1695, the farm may have been carried on by his younger son, afterwards Provost George Fordyce of Aberdeen, who is known at all events, to have been there in 1690. John Ogilvy was the tenant in 1696 when the Poll Tax Book was prepared. Besides Provost George Fordyce and his elder brother John Fordyce of Gask, Isobell Fordyce, wife of William Blachrie, merchant in Aberdeen, was probably also a child of George Fordyce and Barbara Thomson. There is ground for believing that the subject of this notice was related to the family which afterwards owned the estate of Ayton in Berwickshire"
