Hi

Have you ordered the marriage cert for George to establish what his father's name was and occupation?

Taking a pure guess here and assuming George followed Scottish naming pattern (www.halmyre.abel.co.uk/Family/naming.htm. This looks to be George in 1861 with family in Marylebone:

George McGregor 31
Emma J McGregor 25
Jane E McGregor 4
George McGregor 2
Sarah McGregor 16 Months

RG9; Piece: 80; Folio: 103; Page: 58

There is this possible birth entry on IGI at www.familysearch.org:

GEORGE MCGREGOR  Christening: 21 APR 1830 Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen
Parents:GEORGE MCGREGOR and SARAH MCBRIDE

Hopefully George's marriage cert will let you move back  Smiley

Sorry flst, missed your last post before I posted. I agree, looks like the most obvious entry at this stage.

That was a good find for the marriage flst  Smiley

This possible entry for parents at Cavendish Square, Marylebone for 1861:

George McGregor 62, shoemaker, b. London
Sarah McGregor 51, b. London
Edward McGregor 13, b. London

RG9; Piece: 71; Folio: 19; Page: 33

I'll have a look for the family in 1851 and hopefully find George son in the household...looking good though!

Hello Monica & flst
Thanks for all the above looking good to me. One more piece of info I have is that george & emma had two girls that died in infancy Jane b 1857 & Sarah b 1860 which fits in.
I need to look at this deeper.
Regards to each. (need to take the dogs out now)

Hello flst
Looked at the attatchment and found the entry highlighted and it matches up more or less with what I have.  What I'm puzzled about is what are all the submissions and was there an outcome?
