Birth and death of John Elrick

[rebareba15]

I am searching for the birth and death of John Elrick (My Great Great Grandfather).  John Elrick married Mary Robertson December 5, 1850 in New Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland.  I have their marriage certificate, but it doesn't give out any information.  I am also curious to know who John Elrick's mother and father was.  John and Mary had 10 children.  One, Alexander Elrick born Nov 5, 1861; being my great grandfather. George Elrick born 1869 was the youngest.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you Susan

Hi
On www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

There are 2 deaths listed for John Elrick in Aberdeenshire between 1869 and 1920 with a birth year of 1830 +/- 5 years.

There is also 1 death of a Mary Elrick  other name Robertson between the 1869 and 1900 If you look at this one it should give you a better search range for John, on the death certificates it should tell you whether the person is widowed or married it should also give you their parents names if known to the informant.

hi all 

there is a john and mary elrick at backhill new machar in the 1851 & 1881 census
there is also a john elrick at backhill on the 1841 census
the 1841 and 1851 census are on freeCEN
all the census returns would lead me to believe that this john elrick was born c1823

his parent might be robert elrick and elizabeth nickol
although no relationships are shown on the 1841 census so i could be wrong

Hi all:
Thank you.  I have checked into a few of your ideas and have come up with the following:
The John Elrick Birth Date  Dec 8, 1826 and parents James Elrick and Helen Mutch was married to a Jessie Keong (not sure of the spelling) not Mary Robertson
The John Elrick (whose parents were Robert Elrick and Elizabeth Nickol) was born in 1803, so I am sure this is not the John Elrick I am searching as the censuses say he was born in the 1820's.
I did find a John Elrick christened Sept 19 1827 in Old Machar, Aberdeen whose parents were John Elrick and Marjory Coutts, but I am not sure of this.  Doesn't match the year 1823.
I found a death certificate for Mary (Robertson) Elrick who died Feb 18, 1894 in St. Nicholas Aberdeen and it said that she was a widow of John Elrick, so that means John died before 1894.  Maybe the John Elrick that died in 1890 St Nicholas Aberdeen is the one I am looking for.  I haven't found that out yet.  Maybe it will say his age and who his parents were.  I am hoping.

Well, that's about all for now.
Thank you all again
