trying to fill in a family tree and want to ask anyone opinion if i have the right the people

john carr (30) was married to my great grandmother mary eliza simpson (18) marriage 21-9-1915
at buckie farm, peterhead, making johns birth around 1885?



johns parents listed as alexander carr and bridget carr m/s chalmers (deceased) on wedding cert

they had a son william fowlie simpson carr born 1916 died on 27-9-43 - serving in indian theatre of war

birth cert for john carr found , born may 16th 1885, but is this the correct person? as father is william carr and mother is bridget carr m/s carr rather than chalmers mentioned in johns wedding cert date mentioned of parents wedding is 1879 parish of bonhill

i have found a marriage for a william carr (22) and bridget carr (19) dated 7th october 1878
at alexandria parish of bonhill


williams parents noted as Denis Carr deceased and Mary Carr m/s mclafferty

bridgets parents noted as james carr and mary carr m/s mclaughlin


i cant seem to find a record of death for john carr and am a bit confused with the chalmers in bridgets m/s at johns wedding


do you think i have the correct people?

and can anyone go back further or with more detail


many thanks

hi i would like to ask if anyone knows any information on a woman born around 1870s at a guess, she had the name Helen Knox Simpson , she had a daughter in 1898 named Mary eliza Querie Simpson born at Lendrum terrace, stirlinghill, peterhead. the daughter mary appears illegitimate on birth cert but later in life on her second marriage to james smith (my great grandfather) her father is listed as william simpson,  i believe the parents both had simpson as surname but never married, on the 1901 census mary e simpson is living with her grandparents william and elspet simpson, they were born around 1852/3 i think the son william which is father to mary eliza left home to work on a farm , on mary elizas wedding certificate her mother is mentioned but not a witness , making the whereabouts of helen knox simpson hard to find as after the birth of mary eliza it appears the baby was living with the fathers parents. i think i have found that the dad william simpson ended up in canada around 1905.

any info would be excellent and well appreciated

wondered if anyone can help this is the only copy of the photo i have and is of my late grandfather he was up in shetland buying fish alot of years ago not sure of the date but maybe the car would tell approx time. This is my grandmothers favourite photo of him, wondered if it is possible to improve it as its not the sharpest and has maybe discoloured with age.

i would appreciate any efforts made


thanks ryan cordiner

heres another one of the same person but when he was younger , william bruce cordiner, would be grateful to see any improvements to this

very much appreciated for efforts made
