Find Ancestors

I'm hoping that someone has access to marriage records for the Aberdeen area.
I'm trying to find the marriage for my Grandmothers parents.
They were William Geddes born St Nicholas parish Aberdeen 1875
and Agnes Thomson.I have no further info for her.
They had at least 6 children the first Robert born about 1895 and my Grandmother Catherine born about 1908.
His parents were John Geddes born 1850 Rathen and Margaret Ann Pirie born 1855 Turriff.. They were married in Fraserburgh in about 1871.
Any help on this would be Great.
Poor Agnes is the only one i know nothing about
Thank you
Cathie

Thanks Joan,
i did think that i would have to do that,but hoped that i could get some info here
thanks
Cathie

There's a William Geddes marries in St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire, in 1894, and another in 1895, but neither to an Agnes Thomson.

Alistair

Hi Alistair,
can you tell me who they were please,perhaps he married more than once.
Cathie

Hi Joan,
i know i've looked on there already.I'm now thinking that they married else where!
Cathie

Is this them in 1901. Perhaps the middle initial can help narrow it down, and the fact that she was born in Inverurie.

There is a birth of a William Geddes in Aberdeen in 1875 if you looked at the birth certificate it could give the parents marriage date. Or try the 1881 census.

I couldn't find the parents marriage either on SP.

Betty

Thanks Liz,
I think this may be them,
I know they did have a Robert,he died in the first world war,I don't have a William but he may not have survived.It makes sense to name a child after the father'
Thanks Cathie

Liz,
the Robert matches up, the T stands for Thomson.
Thanks again
Cathie

Sorry Joan,
I know that,i don't know why i keep putting Aberdeenshire,no wonder i can't find anything my self!

Just a guess but I wonder if this is her? The parents are both from Fyvie. There is another 2 Agneses born in Inverurie but one is living in Brechin and the other, born in 1874 is still in Inverurie.

They married in 1899 but I am having difficulty reading certificate. Will enter info as I decipher

Have Agnes's birth
30th October 1877 10.40pm (very precise these Scots!)

6 Middlemuir Road Inverurie

Father Robert Thomson Agricultural Labourer
Mother Margaret Thomson ms McGregor
married June 7th 1874 Gateshead England

Thanks so much Lindsey and ***alviegal***
My Grans brother was called Robert Thomson Geddes,so i think it's that one.I just looked at the copy of my Grans marriage Cert,it's hard to read but it does say her mother is Agnes Thomson
Cathie

How strange,
i just noticed that her parents were married in Gateshead England,they went back to Scotland though.
Cathie

I wonder if her father was in army. I see on 1901 census William is in army

Cannot make out much on marriage cert. at all

I think it is December 1899 but can't make out date.

This is info that came up initially on search, you can prob. find it yourself now.
1899 GEDDES WILLIAM THOMSON AGNES A ST NICHOLAS ABERDEEN CITY/ABERDEEN

Thanks Lindsey for all your help.
At least i can get on with researching her now.I had nothing at all! before this evening.
So thanks again
Cathie

You're welcome

Good luck

Lindsay

Plus Lindsey i do think he was in the Army,my Gran was always saying about her relatives being in the army,I can go down the military record route as well now
i wish i had taken more notice
Cathie

I hope you don't mind Cathie, but I have found Margaret Thomson's death

31st December 1892 2am 36 yrs old at 14 Chapel Lane Aberdeen. Mother Agnes McGregor Father John McGregor, farmer.
Cause of death phthisis, 2 years duration

I believe phthisis is the old name for TB

I love the Scottish cert. They give so much info!
