Biography

Andrew Napier was born around 1820 in Kincardineshire, but I cannot identify his birth record. His birthplace is variously stated but I think Skateraw in Fetteresso is most likely. His surname varied over the years: the various forms of Napier/ Lieper.

In 1841 he lived in Skateraw with his mother Elspet (50) and sister Elspet (19), all called Leiper. In 1851 as Napier, he lived in Crawton in the parish of Dunnotar with his servant Margaret Wood. Very soon afterwards he married Margaret Wood in Dunnotar Parish on 4 May 1851 and started his family in the now-ruined fishing village of Crawton. He moved on to Gourdon in the mid-1850s. In 1861 they have moved to 13 East Shore Street in Gourdon in the Parish of Bervie. In 1871 as Leper, they were still in Bervie, presumably Gourdon In 1881 they lived in William Street Gourdon

In the 1890s he ran a fish curing business in Forfar and lived at 75 Queen Street, Forfar in 1891. Andrew Napier returned to Gourdon and died there on 10 February 1897, aged 77 years. From the death certification it can be seen that his parents were Alexander Napier, a fisherman and Elspet Christie.
