Hi Dorrie,

That's a good idea, he had 10 brothers and sisters so there's quite a bit of choice! I could maybe start with the ones closest in age and in the locality. Thanks again for your help and have a lovely Christmas.

Regards
Sandra

Hi, many thanks for the quick reply. however I suspect I am the tree owner on Ancestry....George was my father. However both his parents died before I was born and there are no family photos etc of them...my father and his younger brother were brought up by a series of other people, at one stage I think their granny, but we don't really know who else...I am in contact with the family of Albert ( John had no family ) however we are all in the same situation, looking for information, so hoping I might be able to track down other members of the extended family - descendants of George's brothers/sisters etc who might just have further information.....it's a bit of a long shot I know.

Looking to trace any relatives of George Taylor, my grandfather, born 29 July 1892 Tarves, died 27 June 1952 Insch hospital, and his wife Elizabeth Ann Cameron Davidson born Mill of Wardes, Insch 10 Jan 1890, died 20 April 1928 ARI. Also my GG John Smith Taylor born 8 Jun 1869 Tarves, died 14 Mar 1940, Tillycairn, Tarves, and wife Elizabeth Hutcheon born 27 Mar 1871 Whitestripes, Kemnay, died 24 Sep 1953 Inverurie Hospital.
Also my GGG George Taylor, born c1831 Tarves/Oldmeldrum, died 8 Apr 1893 Barthol Chapel Tarves, and wife Margaret Davidson, born c1831 Methlick, died 19 May 1912 Aberdeen Asylum..any information welcome

Yes it certainly is...I did wonder if this was an illegitimate birth in which case probably impossible to get much further : )

Yes I have all the information on George and Margaret including death certs  of both - from that I got the info on George Taylor and Catherine Rae being his parents. I also know from death cert that he died at Barthol Chapel and searched found the burial record from that. Am now looking to follow up a few things from Margaret Davidson's records to see if that sheds any light on her husband's parents.

Thanks, so far can't trace them in any census records - no records of siblings etc either...think best bet is a trip to Barthol Chapel cemetery to see if any clues there. :)
In your first post you say George was born c1830 according to various censuses!
flst
This was based on 1841 census data where there are two George Taylor's working as farm servants in the Tarves area

Followed up the James Taylor Catherine Rae angle as most likely - can find them in censuses 1841 and 1851 with potential siblings of George, however can't trace any of these siblings  at all beyond that, so still wondering if they moved away from the area, apart from my GG grandfather who married in 1852. His death certificate was signed by his son, also George...think son's wife is in same burial plot as my GG grandfather in Barthol chapel....can find no other burial records there, but again not sure how complete the burial record info as published on line is? Assume many who were too poor to avoid headstones are buried in unmarked graves? Anyway thanks to all of you for your helpful suggestions/info etc and I will keep looking!
