Hi
Have you ordered the marriage cert for George to establish what his father's name was and occupation?

There is only one entry in the IGI for a George McGregor, christened 21 April 1830,St.Nicholas,Aberdeen.He is the son of George McGregor & Sarah Mcbride. They married (spelled mcGrigor) on 18 June 1827,in Old Church,St.Pancras,London. Could this be the one you're looking for?

Taking a pure guess here and assuming George followed Scottish naming pattern (www.halmyre.abel.co.uk/Family/naming.htm. This looks to be George in 1861 with family in Marylebone:
George McGregor 31
Emma J McGregor 25
Jane E McGregor 4
George McGregor 2
Sarah McGregor 16 Months
RG9; Piece: 80; Folio: 103; Page: 58
There is this possible birth entry on IGI at www.familysearch.org:
GEORGE MCGREGOR Christening: 21 APR 1830 Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen
Parents:GEORGE MCGREGOR and SARAH MCBRIDE
Hopefully George's marriage cert will let you move back :)

Sorry flst, missed your last post before I posted. I agree, looks like the most obvious entry at this stage.

That was a good find for the marriage flst :)
This possible entry for parents at Cavendish Square, Marylebone for 1861:
George McGregor 62, shoemaker, b. London
Sarah McGregor 51, b. London
Edward McGregor 13, b. London
RG9; Piece: 71; Folio: 19; Page: 33
I'll have a look for the family in 1851 and hopefully find George son in the household...looking good though!

Regards to each. (need to take the dogs out now)

Hello flst
Looked at the attatchment and found the entry highlighted and it matches up more or less with what I have. What I'm puzzled about is what are all the submissions and was there an outcome?

Sorry,I can't answer that!
