James Brebner #800, b. c 1793/99 in Aberdeen, ABD, SCT,30 baptized 02 JUN 1799 in Aberdeen St. Nicholas, ABD, SCT,3 d. 23 AUG 1874 in Mayfield House, Cults, KCD, SCT,31 buried in St. Nicholas Churchyard, Aberdeen, occupation Advocate in practice.<br />1824: 30 Dee St., 1830 (Aberdeen Directory);.<br />1830 : Offices 7 Queen Street, Aberdeen<br />1834-41: Office at 44 Marischal St, Aberdeen; City Directory ;<br />this was an interesting coincidence inasmuch as George BREBNER and Elizabeth MCKENZIE ( my Brebner ancestors) lived in the same<br />building after 1912...<br />1841: Census lists family at 44 Marischal Street; Agent, Friendly Insurance Company.<br />1851: Lived at 9 Albyn Place, Aberdeen.<br />1858-59: Office in Advocate's Building; City Directory<br />1845-65: Lived at 20 Albyn Place, Aberdeen.<br />James was also an avid gardener, and took many prizes in the Aberdeen Horticultural Society for his greenhouse specimens.<br /><br />James Brebner, Advocate of Aberdeen and Inverness, Swindling<br />The Scotsman, 27th September 1854, page 3.<br />ARREST OF A SCOTCH SOLICITOR IN LONDON. - James Brebner, who has variously described<br />himself as a solicitor of Aberdeen and of Inverness, has been remanded by Sir Robert Carden on a charge<br />of obtaining money under false pretences. He told a Mrs. McLellan and her son, whom he met at<br />Edinburgh, that they were entitled to a large property in Jamaica; and on pretence of proving their claim he<br />obtained many advances of money.<br />The Scotsman, 30th September 1854, page 3.<br />CHARGE OF SWINDLING. – At the Guildhall, London, on Tuesday, James Brebner, a solicitor of<br />Aberdeen, was placed at the bar on remand before Sir R.W. Carden, charged with obtaining various sums<br />of money, amounting to nearly £20 (sic), under the false pretence of being able to recover for Kenneth<br />McLenan, an engineer, and Anne McLenan, his mother, property to the value of £36,000, which he<br />alleged to be due to the mother from the estate of the late Mr. Macrae of Jamaica. Inspector Hamilton<br />said there was no fresh evidence in this case, but from information he had received he believed there was a<br />warrant lodged in the hands of the procurator-fiscal of Inverness for the apprehension of the prisoner on<br />other charges of fraud. Sir R.W. Carden said as the greatest part of the money in this case had been<br />obtained in Scotland, he thought it would be advisable to sent the prisoner there to meet the other charges<br />rather than bring all the witnesses such a distance to give their evidence in this case. He should therefore<br />remand the or prisoner for a week to give the procurator-fiscal an opportunity of coming up and executing<br />his warrant; but if the Scotch authorities should evince and reluctance to prosecute the prisoner, he could<br />then be dealt with in London. The prisoner was accordingly remanded for a week.<br />I believe this is James Brebner son of William Brebner and Mary McKenzie. He married Ann Cook in<br />1852, but appears to have been a drifter; he was in the Fraserburgh Poor House in 1869 from which he<br />absconded. His death certificate gives his occupation as Tailor…
