Hi,
I have been researching my family tree for a number of years. It had just came to light by me that a Margaret Turnbull McPeak Simpson was adopted by the McPeak family. Margaret was born 10/12/1887,Edinburgh, can't find her date of death, but she married Edward Malarkie 21/12/1912, Thomas Church, Leith, she them married James McColgan 26/4/1919, The Manse, South Leith, Edinburgh.
Her parents were John Simpson and Elizabeth Henderson, her Mum died 1889, on the 1891 census Henry McPeak and Margaret Turnbull adopted Margaret, as it states adopted daughter.
I have Margaret's siblings, Jane born 1862 died 1865, Ann Davidson dob 1864 died 1865, John dob 1866 died 1866, Henry McPeak Simpson dob 1867 died 1872, Archibald C dob 1870 died 1871, John dob 1872 died 1933, he married Janet McKay, Henry McPeak Simpson dob 1874, married Elizabeth Ward, David F Simpson born 1876 died 1938, married Matilda Gore, Andrew born 1878 no date of death, William born 1880, no dod and Jane 1884, all Edinburgh.
Elizabeth Henderson's parents were Andrew Henderson and Ann Riva, Ann's parents were Paul Riva and Margaret Lyon.
John Simpson which was Margaret Turnbull McPeak Simpson Dad, his parents were John Simpson and Jane Davidson. I have John Simpson's sister Jane Simpson and she married David Wright.
What I would like to find out is how the Simpson's and McPeak's were related. I have done a lot of research but definelty missing something.
