Cathie

Thanks Lindsey,
i had to turn my pc off at 10pm cos hubby came home so sorry i wasn't online.
But this is great.Looks like they were down on their luck,i assume a parochial lodging house is like some kind of poor house.
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!

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

You're welcome

Good luck

Lindsay

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

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.
Agnes's mother Margaret Thomson ms McGregor (deceased), Father Robert Thomson


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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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