I am looking for information on George BLAIR (b. abt 1900 in Scotland) who married Rachel DODDS. I believe that George is the grandson of John BLAIR (1720 - 1799) and Margaret MCLUCKIE (1720 - 1798) of Kippen Strilingshire Scotland. John and Margaret were my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents. John and Margaret had several sons including Joseph Blair (b. 1761 in Kippen Strilingshire Scotland and died in Northumberland, England). A letter from Joseph's brother Peter Blair to another brother in Barnet Vermont, dated June 22, 1816 states "Your brother Joseph resides in Alnwick County Northumberland England. His wife died about eighteen months ago."
Joseph had 3 sons who were alive after 1809 - William, George, and Peter. I believe George and Peter went to Northumberland England with their father Joseph.
A search of the 1841 England census shows a George Blair (b. abt 1806 in Scotland) living in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England. He is listed with his wife Rachel b. abt 1806 in Northumberland, England and 4 sons and 3 daughters, all born in Northumberland.
I found the following entries in the Family Search - International Genealogical Index - British Isles
George Blair married Rachel Dodds 24 November 1823 Eyemouth, Berwick, Scotland
Robert Blair
