Hi Alex

I am also researching this same family.  My Wood family originated in Gamrie.  They were farmers.

I have traced mine back to John Wood and Anne or Jane Ingram - they had a son William Wood in 1794 who married Christian Watt in New Deer.  I am keen to compare notes with you to see if we can help each other

Hi,I'm also researching Woods of Gamrie. However they are a different line to yours.  I've traced back to John Wood & Ann Morison who married in Gamrie on  December 28th 1805.They had a lot of descendants. If anyone has a query regarding them I'd be delighted to assist!

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

Sorry I'm a bit late to this...real life  ::)

Anyway, I'd be very interested in anything you've got on George and Barbara's children.

I've got Rankins, Reids and Morisons at various points in my tree but nothing that jumps out and hits me as linking up directly with what's here,  It is possible there's a link hiding in there somewhere...

Barbara Killah born 25th May 1800 to William Killah and Isobel Rankin. Siblings James 11th Feb 1798, William c.1802 and Mary c.1805

Isobel Rankin above born 11th March 1771 to William Rankin and Jean Morison

William Rankin above born 1748 to William Rankin and Anne Reid. Siblings (I've not checked any of these out!) Isabel 1760, Agnes 1745, James 1746, George 1755, John 1750, Alexander 3rd December 1762, Anne 1752 and Elizabeth 1755.

Hi Alex

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Looking at IGI, there are at least two couples called George Wood and Barbara.

There is the George Wood and Barbara Killock in Gamrie:

1. ISABEL WOOD Birth: 15 SEP 1828
2. MARY WOOD  Birth: 08 AUG 1830
3. WILLIAM WOOD Birth: 23 JUL 1832
4. GEORGE WOOD - Birth: 14 NOV 1834
5. JAMES WOOD  Birth: 22 AUG 1838
6. BARBARA WOOD  Birth: 19 MAR 1842

There is also George Wood and a Barbara Rankin over in King Edward, Aberdeen having children at the same time:

 1. ISABELLA WOOD  Birth: 02 APR 1835
2. MARY WOOD   Birth: 28 OCT 1836
3. HELEN WOOD Birth: 26 OCT 1838
4. MARGARET WOOD Birth: 02 FEB 1841
5. JAMES WOOD   Birth: 26 JAN 1844
6. GEORGE WOOD  Birth: 11 NOV 1845

From what you said, is your family that with mother Barbara Killoch?

Monica  :)
