This link explains why we're not allowed to help find folk in the 1911 census. What date did they marry in Aberchirder? What about any children?

Actually, the above information applies to England and Wales 1911 census only.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi all  :)

Is Aberchirder not in Banffshire(i.e. Parish of Marnoch) ?

John Duffus/Helen Clark(Anderson also gives 1 result) marriage 1904 Marnoch Banff

If you are searching in Aberdeenshire perhaps that is why you can't find the family  :-\

Added - Approx. ages and children(as flst notes) would also be handy

 Helen Duffus (other names Anderson and Clark) died Marnoch in 1936 and John Duffus, widower of Helen Clark, died Aberchirder/Marnoch in 1949,  so they must be there somewhere.

A son, Gordon J R Duffus, was the informant on John's death cert.

I wondered why I could not find them  ???

The surname on the index is coming up as DAFFUS
