Hi I think the Anderson family in 1901 may have links to the family of Violet Jane Ann Gray:-

1891 Census

Alexander Gray 36 occ Grain Store Keeper b Insch
Margory 32 b Aberdeenshire
Jane Anderson 32 Married/Sister b Aberdeenshire
Alexander Anderson 3 Nephew b Banchory, Kincardinshire
Margory E 0 Niece b Monymusk
Residing at Gordons Cottage, Alford, Aberdeenshire

Found a bit more about this census entry, which says Jane Anderson was born Chapel of Garich and therefore definitely the same Jane as in 1901. Also says she was a Shoemaker's wife. Therefore it looks like she was married twice. Alexander Anderson being a son of the first marriage and later children being sons and daughters of Charles.

Therefore it looks like she was possibly married twice. Alexander Anderson being a son of the first marriage (born Kincardinshire) and later children being sons and daughters (born Aberdeenshire) of Charles.

  Obvious question, why is Alexander aged 3 shown as an Anderson, Marriage of Charles to Jane, would answer your questions, as not au fait with Scottish BMD, maybe if not yourself can someone confirm if Jane was a Widow at time of marriage to Charles, or if Alexander aged 3 was a Anderson?

  Hi again why am I seeing a Jane Milne, Gray, or Anderson aged 5 in 1881 Ellon, Aberdeenshire on Family Search?
Maybe nothing to do with what is shown above, just fascinated as never seen 3 possible surnames

Ann 3 b Ellon
Catherine 0 b Ellon

It is strange. Perhaps someone who may have access to the original census image might be able to shed some light and/or has come across this before?

I think the above although has both Gray/Anderson maybe has no connection, it is that marriage of Jane to Charles that would be so helpful,  will look for above though in 1891?

EDIT as thought, Anne has married a James Morrison Annie & Katie Anderson b Ellon are with the couple and new son in 1891 Peterhead

Had a chance to look at my family tree. Alexander Gray born 1855 and Jean/Jane Gray 1859 were brother and sister of George Gray, my great grandfather. Their parents were Alexander Gray 1830 and Margaret Mortimer 1833. Alexander Gray 1855, married a Marjory Elder. George Gray was the father of Violet Jane Ann Gray.

  Yes thought that was the possible link, so only left to find out if Jane married Charles Anderson as Widow or not?
