Find Ancestors

Hi again Diane

I just looked on familysearch and found a William Geddes..... father Alexander Geddes and mother Margaret Scott. On 1841 census William (aged 7) and James (aged 11) are living with Scott family (James 55, Margaret 25 and George 20) so it seems likely although it means Margaret would have been about 15 when James was born, I can't find James with the same parents tho.

Julie

I will see what i can find on familysearch.

Thank you for you time and effort. It is very much appreciated.

Julie

Julie,,,

this is the only James Geddes in Aberdeen... which rather throws the cat among the pigeons!

10/05/1828 GEDDES JAMES CHARLES GEDDES/BARBARA SCORGIE M Aberdeen ABERDEEN CITY/ABERDEEN 168/A00 0220 0037

.. sorry..

I then tried any James Geddes with father John.. anywhere in Scotland.. and got these 3.. which again don't match the one for William...

Freda, can you tell me which county Kirkton is in? I can't find Inergowrie, Kirkton on Google, and there are too many results without narrowing the area down.

Florence - this is a baptism for Laurence..

the U is for sex!

Sorry no mother's name...

there is this marriage... for Robert.. in Shetland.. but its a long shot... however, try familysearch.org, there may be something there..

29/09/1799 GADIE ROBERT MARGARET SCOTT/ M Lerwick /SHETLAND

Thank you so much Diane....... yes i think it is no 3.

Would there be any more details.......and would you have any credits left to view?

Would you mind looking for Williams brother James (also on 1841 census) born c1830. This would confirm parents.

Kind Regards, Julie

Hi Diane

If you have any credits left could you see if you can find birth/baptism details for :

James Dobson [c1803 - Tranent, Haddington, East Lothian [died ?]

and his wife

Euphemia Watt [born c1800 in the same area] [died ?]

I have the date of their marriage from IGI as 13 Nov 1829 Tranent, East Lothian along with baptism details for 3 of their children - Elisabeth 1830, Mary 1832 and Euphemia 1844

I have taken the year of birth for James & Euphemia off the census records - so ts only a rough guess

I don't know how far back information on Scotland's People goes so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Angie

Hi Diane I'm looking for a William Craig from Inergowrie, Kirkton born 1934-35 served in the Army for a while around 1954-55 any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks Freda
