Hello out there.
I am Lynda Spink daughter or George Rennie Spink and George Gold Spink was my grandfather married to Jane Ann Rennie both resided in Forfar Angus.
My brother G G Spink who has messages on here has since passed away in DEC 2020 and was in contact with other through here. I am the only living relative now and doing our family tree through Ancestry .
Is there anybody in this forum who would have any information to share on David and Catherine Spink I would be very happy to hear from you.

Lynda
Hello. Sorry for you loss.
I read your post and looked at your brothers.
From Scotlandspeople 'George Gold Spink' was born in 1888 Arbroath, Angus. (A town a short distance from Forfar and up the coast from Dundee)
He married Jane Ann Rennie in 1912 in Forfar.
In the 1891 census a 2 year old George Spink is living with;
David Spink, 30
Ann Spink, 30
William, 9
David, 4
James, 8.
Interestingly James is out of order here. That can sometimes indicate he is a cousin/brother/nephew etc of the head of the house - David. It could also just be an error.
Presumably David and Ann are the parents but it is also possible they are brother and sister. I can't find a marriage registration for them nor do they appear in the 1881 census.
You mentioned a David Spink married to a Catherine. There is a 1892 marriage between a David Spink and Catherine W Fraser in Arbroath.
In the 1901 census a 12 year old George Spink is living with;
David Spink, 41
Catherine Spink, 41
William, 17
David, 14
James cannot be located. He could be living/working on his own.
I hope this helps you. If you have more information or any of the above rings a bell please let me know.
