Surname Forename Year Gender Age at Census Ref RD Name County/ City ROY JOHN 1911 M 7 168/1 60/ 6 St Nicholas Aberdeen You can manipulate the SP site to find others at the same place, but there are no other Roy's on this Ref. No in Aberdeen You would need to buy credits and look at the actual record, aiming to see if there were siblings and then try to follow their lines. You can also ask the site to look for deaths surname ROY mmn Cheyne

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	This would be his birth - again you would have to Order the certificate. Surname Forename Gender Year Ref RD Name Image View ROY ARTHUR JOHN M 1937 168/3 841 Aberdeen Eastern District Marriage of his parents. You can't search Statutory births using Mother's maiden name as a help in Scotland. However, the death record shows his Mothers maiden name. St Machar is a Registration District in Aberdeen Surname Forename Spouse Surname Spouse Forename Year Ref RD Name Image View ROY JOHN CHEYNE CECILIA 1925 168/2 339 St Machar The certificate should name their parents and say when / where they married

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	Welcome to the boards David What is it you want to know? What were his parents name, do you know names of aunts, uncles, grandparents Use the website below to look for information. It's free to do a Search and get a result like I've posted for his death. You would need to buy the certificate to check the details. Older records (deaths over 50 years ago, marriages 75 and births 50 years) - certificates can actually be looked at online and downloaded. https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Death - Surname Forename Age at death Mother's Maiden Name Year Ref RD Name Image ROY ARTHUR JOHN 67 CHEYNE 2004 300/ 873 Aberdeen
