Hi Ev 

I will try to put the signatures on for others to have a gander and see what they think.

Hi all, 

I don`t know if this will help me figure out which of the two families is mine, but I have found census results for both on SP:-

Cookney Milne at Wyndford, civil parish Fetteresso
1881
William Milne, 53?, farmer of 66 acres, emplying 1 man and 1 girl, born Fetteresso, Kin
Isabella Milne, 33, Fetteresso, K
William Milne, 7, son,  "
Isabella Stott,74, mother in law, widow,retired farmers widow, Banchory D, Kin
and then next door at Wyndford Cottage is Janie Milne, widow, 74, retired farmers widow, born Maryculter, K

1891 still at Wyndford
William Milne, age looks like 46??, farmer, born Fet
Isabella Milne, 43, farmers wife, born Fet

have now received your emails and will have a look at them

one more thought
can you find either of these william milne's in scotland in 1901
if so then it can't be your william who was in england 1901

If it helps, the William you have found, son of William, farmer and Mary (Elmslie) is still at home on the farm with parents for the 1901 census:

William Milne 70, farmer b. Nigg
Mary Milne 50 b. Belhelvie, Aberdeenshire
William Milne 27, farmer's son b. Nigg
Elspeth Milne 21
Jessie Milne 11
Helen Milne 9
Lillie Clunas 29
Barbara Newlands 20
James Taylor 29
Charles Scott 22
William Laurence 26

Address: Farm Dwelling House Altenst On Altens Road, Nigg

Given you have found potentially, your William down in England (right place/occupation etc), I think you can eliminate the above William perhaps.
