Robert WOOD and his Wife Margaret Reay BELL

[angusg]

Margaret Reay BELL b 1886 Abbey St.Bathans died Whitrig Eccles, 1955 
her husband Robert WOOD b 1880 Ayton may have died  1971 Coldstream.
They were married1908 at 2 Shandon Terrace, Edinburgh.

I was trying to figure out who their children and spouses were.

This is part of the descendants of Alexander BELL and Agnes TROTTER.

He was a Farmer at Sunnyside (Reston), she was also from Reston so...

Robert b 1915 Coldingham is one (I peeked).

So...you go to Scotlands People search births Coldingham and you will find 12 in total.

Download the obvious such as John, Nettie Kinghorn; William Bell and then check some of the others.

Have fun.

I note there were two Robert Woods born Ayton 1880, father of one was James, so I guess these are your Roberts parents, he is with them and other children on the 1881 census in Ayton.

Dear Monica,

                 Thank you so much for the work you have done on this query.
I have been waiting for a copy of Robert Woods death Certificate from SP. Broke my heart to spend 16 pounds. However it came the other day so I can confirm I am looking at the corect Robert WOOD/ Margaret WALLACE.

My problem I am missiing almost all of their siblings. I know John asnd Margaret(Peggie) thansk to your replies.   I have 5 of Robt & Margarets their grandchidren but no father or mother. Unless some could look up a birth at SP.   Because of privacy of living people it would have to be done by private message.

Thank you again.
