public tree on A****y has parents of Deskford Snr as Peter Charles and Janet Porteais. Desckford is given as born 1769 Cullen Banffshire. Which ties in with what you have found. There are a lot of trees on the site which appear to have copied the information given

Just thinking about Deskfoord's first wife Elizabeth - wonder if she died in Scotland??

George frederick was born Glasgow -and it seems a possibility he was the son - then maybe Elisabeth died there??

I can't find any further info on Elizabeth Rachel b 1810 -daughter of Deskford and Elizabeth

(think Steve is a little confused on a previous thread of his - as there was a Rachel with them in 1841 - it is easy to assume she was a daughter -but she is the wife of Deskfoord George -so she is daughter in law -and she remarries after his death to john Baird

I cannot find a marriage/death reg for Elizabeth Rachel Charles

Again this is from a different public tree so no accounting for accuracy but they give Elizabeth Rachel as born 1811 Woolwich Kent. Baptised 31/11/1810(don't you just love the accuracy of online trees ) Should someone tell them there is only 30 days in November and that you usually need to be born first before you are baptised. Anyway to carry on marriage to Joesph Mitchell 1828 Hoo Kent. died 1873 Kent.
It might help but I would take it all with a pinch of salt

Dear Members,

Thank you so much for your fantastic response. This will keep me going for weeks   

I have recently found out from this site that Rachel Charles is the wife of Deskford Charles and not a sister.

Thank you for the birth/bapt dates for Deskfoord George Charles and Elizabeth Rachel Charles and other information.

I am the gggg grandson of Elizabeth Rachel Charles and Joseph Mitchell.

Kind regards
Steve
