Peter Miller McPherson
« on: Saturday 16 June 07 18:43 BST (UK) »
Father is Alexander and brother is William.   Born between 1880 and 1882.  Can anyone please check in Aberdeenshire Parish Records to see if you can let me know place of birth and any other information i.e. parents etc.
I'm new to this so hope I am doing this right.
Best wishes
Christine

Hi Christine

This is the closest I can see. There is one birth entry showing on Scotlands People, the official pay to view site for BMDs:

1880   MCPHERSON   PETER MILLER   M   ANDERSTON   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK   644/10 0003

If this is the correct one, then it might tie up with this 1891 Census entry:

Alex MacPherson 37, gen. lab. b. Wick, Lyth
Jessie MacPherson 36, b. Halkirk
Alexr MacPherson 13, b. Glasgow
Peter MacPherson 11, b. Glasgow
Margt MacPherson 7, b. Glasgow
Christina MacPherson 3, b.Thurso
John MacPherson 7mon, b.Thurso
Maret Munro 64, MI (relationship? mother in law??), b. Latheron

Address: Geise, Thurso, Caithness

Cannot see a brother William there, maybe if the right family, he was born after this date?

Regards.

Monica  :)

William (brother/son) may have been born by the 1901 Census if this the same family:

Alexander McPherson 48, labourer, b. Wick
Janet McPherson 46, b. Thurso
John McPherson    10, b.Thurso
William McPherson 7, b.Thurso
Donald McPherson 4, b. Thurso

Address: Campbell St, Thurso, Caithness

Regards.

Checking the 1881 Census and Alexander and Jessie do look to have been in Glasgow at that time for Peter's birth:

Alexander McPherson 28, Railway Servant, b. Caithness
Jessie McPherson 26, b. Caithness
Alexander McPherson 3, b. Glasgow
Peter McPherson 1, b. Glasgow

Address: 10 Blackie St, Glasgow Anderston

A likely marriage entry also in Glasgow for Alexander and Jessie with a clue to Peter's middle name:

1877   MCPHERSON   ALEXANDER   MILLER   JESSIE   KELVIN   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK   644/09 0577

Hi Monica
I just want to say a very big thank you because ALL of the people you gave me are the same family and though that I got an original marriage entry in 1877 from the records  and followed through.There are family there I didn't know about.
so again thank you.
Hope you get this as I think I replied already possibly the wrong way.
regards
christine
