Looking for confirmation on Arthur Still.

[LorraineM3]

My ggf was Arthur Still and he was born in Boyndie, Banff on 18th April 1833 to Robert Still and Margaret Sim.   On searching I have found information on an Arthur Still in Bangor who worked as a gamekeeper in the employ of Lord Penrhyn.  He married Margaret Williams in the District of Anglesey, Qtr:  March 1875 Vol:  11b  Page:  731  and they had a child Margaret Isabella 1875.  Arthur Still's death was registered 1900 in the District of Bangor Vol 11b page 349.  Is it possible to confirm that this is the same Arthur Still?

Hi LorraineM3

Welcome to RootsChat 

I can confirm from the marriage cert that this Arthur Still's father was a Robert Still, and a farmer.

Would you like the other details

Thank you so much for this info.  My Arthur Still's father was Robert Still and he was a farmer so possibly another step forward.   Thanks for your reply, much appreciated

Elspet Lim born about 1766 Bannfshire age 75
