Hi, I have the above in my tree but cannot find any information on his parents and siblings. There are so many Telfer's about. I think he wa smarrie to an Ann Graham. His (I think) children were Bettie and William.
Any help would be very grateful.

George Telfer
1782–1865
Birth 15 DEC 1782 • Eskdalemuir, Dumfries-shire, Scotland
Death 1865 • North Lodge, Minto, Roxburghshire, Scotland

Do you have his death certificate ? to see if names of parents are mentioned

Would this be him on the 1861 Census North Lodge Minto Roxburghshire
Lodging with a Robert and Elizabeth Irvine and their family

I would say Elizabeth Irvine is his daughter going by the births of some of the children of Robert
Elizabeth Irvine
There is a Fergus Graham Irvine born 1845 Minto Roxburgh father Robert Irvine mother Betty
Telfer

I note the mother’s maiden name on the death record on SP.

TELFER   GEORGE   82   Mothers Maiden Name STRAHAN   Died 1865   Minto

The following could be the baptism record for George?
TELFER   GEORGE   JOHN TELFER   M   24/11/1783   Westerkirk

One tree suggests the parents are John Telfer & Catherine Strachan but I can find no evidence to support that.

Colin

Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.
