George and Barbara (Barbra) Wood

[sexymama]

I have pondered for a long time whether Jphn Wood, of John Wood and Ann Morison was married twice.  The first time to Anne Ingram.  I think I have decided that John Wood and Anne Ingram was a different John.  He is the right age but all his children were born at Minnonie and all John Wood and Anne Morison's were born in or near Covie (about 5 miles away).

My William Wood's death cert (1868) has his parents as John Wood and Jane Ingram.  I wondered if the "Jane' was a mistake as the only marriage is between John Wood and Anne Ingram.

My William Wood moved to New Deer and, interestingly, John Wood and Ann Morison's son William also moved to New Deer and became a chemist.

I would be pleased to hear from you

Hi I'm new to this and have hit my first problem...

I can find this couple in the 1841 census for Gamrie with their children William (8 ), Margaret (4), George (6) and James (2).

By the 1851 census the parents have disappeared and all the children appear to be in service with different families.

I would expect this to reflect the parent's deaths and the kids being farmed out.

However...by 1851 there's a George and Barbara Wood in Gamrie at a location that features later in my one's (James) life. They are about the right age and George is also an agricultural labourer.  But they have a different set of children that I can't find in the 1841 census.  There's no other likely candidate in the 1841 census that I can find either.

Any advice on how to tackle this or a solution that wraps it all up would be most welcome.

The family that you already have an entry for 1841:

George Wood, 45, Ag Labourer        
Barbra Wood, 40            
William Wood, 8               
George Wood, 6
Margaret Wood, 4                   
James Wood, 2

Address: Cushnie, Gamrie   

There is a young Mary Wood maybe staying at her Uncle's (?) also in 1841, showing as same address as her parents:

James Killoch 40, farmer
Elisabeth Killoch 40
Mary Killoch 9
James Killoch 6
Elizabeth Killoch 4
William Killoch 2
Ann Murray 15
Mary Wood 10 , female servant

Address: Cushnie, Gamrie

I was born in Aberdeen, lived most of my life in Stirling and have now retired to Borneo, Malaysia.

My maternal grandmother was Isabella Margaret Wood (1892-1962)

I have found something about Christian Rankin.  Her parents were Thomas Rankin - 1790 and Christina MIlne - 1790, but don't know if she had any siblings.  Also looking into a James Wood born October 3, 1764.  It says he had an illigitimate son Alexander born 1816, and it also said that James married a fraser and that was Alexanders mom.  Does anyone know if James was married before?

Hi Carol McI,

"I have George Wood b 1865 married to Marjory Ogilvie.  They have a son John Wood b 1724.  He married Margaret Ord.  My family are John Wood b 1752 and Anne Ingram b 1763."

Having done more research on my Wood ancestors I now believe that "my" William Wood's father John was the son of John Wood & Margaret Ord.Here's the info from the OPR.
1761. John lawful son to John Wood & Margaret Ord in Seatown of Crivie, was born April 3rd & baptised April 5th in presence of the Congregation.
John appears in the 1841 census at Stonehouse, Gamrie. His age is spot on.!
Are you saying that "your " John Wood born c1752 is also their son?
