I think I've got a bit carried away when it comes to the family search/ancestry sites.

Just forget them all and stick to Scotland's People for events in Scotland.

Will do

Interesting. That Peter Charles Wilson, born 17 January 1865, would have been one day short of his 36th birthday on the date of marriage of Peter Charles Wilson and Marian Ward.
In which case, AshWilson1986, what evidence do you have that makes you think he was the one born to Mary Wilson on 27 May 1863?

What is your evidence to suggest that the Peter Wilson you are looking for is the Peter Wilson born in 1863 to Mary Wilson rather than the Peter Charles Wilson born in 1865 to John Wilson and Mary Callaghan?

My Grandfather said his Grandfather(Peter) was from the Aberdeenshire area and it was confirmed by his brothers and sisters also and i remember it from a family chat when i was a kid. They just didn't go into any detail and all their family trees have a Peter Wilson from Fintray/Aberdeen. So they knew but didn't give any more info and they are all deceased now. I've only recently started to trace my ancestry properly.

It's definitely the right Peter Wilson.

It says Hatton of Fintray. That's very useful to know. It says May 27th, 7.30pm. All Scottish birth certificates show the actual time of birth.

Yep, at least I've got the closure now about Peter so thanks for everyone's help.

Would love to be able to read what the actual birth house/address was above Hatton of Fintray.

Now it's time to find out some more about Mary and where she came from originally and her parents.

This is all very interesting but seems a sad story at the same time 

It looks like Hatton of Fintray

The writing above that and what appears to be a time underneath it. I can't make it out. It's possibly a birth address.
