Thanks Elaine,
This is a great site for info. Nothing shows on my William or Mary though. I'm keeping this site in my favourites for future reference.

Hi James,
I can't put your James Geddes (1899) in my lineage as yet. My James born 1877 in Fordyce Banff did have some children by two marriages, as I've stated previously, but I don't have a confirmed son James born 1899. His son Alexander (Sandy) was born 1915 and died in North Africa in 1943.
Do you know who your Grandad James' parents were and their dates and places of birth?
The only Geddes I know that moved to Canada was my grandmother Jessie born 1882.

Hi Denise,
My James Geddes was born Sept. 1877 in Fordyce. He was a Cabinetmaker by trade. He had 2 marriages. I don't have his first wife's name but he had 2 children Hellen and Jean. His second wife was Annabella Flett and they had 4 children, Alexander, George, Isabella, and Anne. James died Dec.19, 1922 at 35 High Street in Buckie.
James father was John Geddes who married Hellen Spalding. They had 11 children.
Does this info match up with yours ?

Debbie,
Thank you very much for this info. I had just written a letter to the town of Perth to verify my suspicion they were buried there. I wanted to get their dates of death so I could find an obit notice in the Perth paper. That might show any children or other relatives names.
I'll try checking with the Elmwood Cemetery and see if they have this info or a website that shows gravestone photos.
When I moved from Toronto to Calgary I hadn't started any work on my family and they were all in the Ottawa valley area from about 1870 on. I wish I was back there as it would be easier to drive around there and get this info.
Again, thank you all for your valuable help.
