Hello all, I wondered if anyone could help with a problem I have just discovered with my Ancestry tree. I realised I had 2 George "Fling" Smith b 1790 d 1858 - so I merged them - I thought Ancestry was having a hiccup and had put him in again instead of adding when I added a record. Unfortunately it now shows him as having two wives and two families - basically at the same time - so I believe I am looking for another George Smith for one of the ladies. One George married Margaret "Farmer" Murray 30 Sep 1809 - Rathven and the other married Ann Sinclair at Rathven 31 Aug 1811. Yes - could be same person - except Margaret and George had children between 1810 and 1830 and Ann and George had children between 1812 and 1837, so I believe there must be another George Smith - oh joy! Ann Sinclair is my 3rd gr grandmother - so I obviously want to make sure I have the right George. I bought Scotlandspeople death for a George Smith d 17 Feb 1858 at Findochty. It states George Smith was a Fisherman - married - no wife's name. Says he was 67 and parents were William Smith (Peter) Fisherman decd and Ann Smith nee Smith. I also have Ann Smith nee Sinclair's death cert in 1869. Says she is the widow of George Smith and her parents were Alexander Sinclair, boat builder decd, and Isabella Sinclair nee Robertson deceased.
Can anyone help me sort these two families out? Thank you in advance.
