Find Ancestors

First posting!!
I am trying to find parent and/or sibling information of Lancelot George Burd, born 1874 in Scotland (Aberdeenshire or possibly Banffshire).
Is Lancelot a rare enough name for this to be enough information to search on?

Thanks safc - that will be an interesting line of search for me and ties in with family history of links to Canada!

Is there a ny record of Lancelot in 1891?- I pick him up as marrying in England in 1900.

Marriages Mar 1868 (>99%)
Burd William Carlisle 10b 533
Lawson Jane Carlisle 10b 533

A bit further south than I would have guessed - but again an interesting line to follow up

Did you know that Lancelot was in the Army? His Pension record is on Ancestry.

Also, he and Mary Ann Deaves appear to have married twice! Once in 1900 and again in 1902. I would guess that the second marriage was because he hadn't had the Army's permission to marry the first time. It is the second marriage that is recorded on his Army record.

He joined the Army in 1893 and seems to have spent most of his service either in England or Hong Kong.

Here he is in 1891, occupation Engine Fitter, which ties up with him being in the Royal Engineers:

Name: Launcelot G Burd
Age: 17
Estimated birth year: abt 1874
Relationship: Lodger
Gender: Male
Where born: Burnhaven, Abdnshire
Registration Number: 168/1
Registration district: St Nicholas
Civil Parish: Aberdeen St Nicholas
County: Aberdeenshire
Address: 26 Urquhart Rd
Occupation: Engine - Fitter

Mary Walt 54
John Walt 22
Launcelot G Burd 17
Robert B Milne 20
John Chalmers 17

This looks to be him in 1901. I see that the marriage is coming up in 1900 and 1902 but looking at this census pages it was the 1900 date.
Everyone else in the household, apart from the servant were born in Chalk, Kent. He is in the Royal Engineers

Potty,
Really interesting about the two marriages - I didn't know that. I had the 1900 marriage in my records.
I did know he was a lifelong soldier and that he was in the Royal Engineers. I really need to access his army records to find out the detail. The Hong Kong link makes sense as one of his children was born in Hong Kong. Hopefully Father Christmas will bring me Ancestry membership this year!!
The 1891 Census information fills the gap nicely.
Many thanks

safc - thanks for the DR - don't suppose you know where St. Martin might be?

The district St.Martin is an alternative name for St Martin and it is in the county of London;

Potty - sent you a message

safc - thanks for ALL the info

All - thank you. Learned so much in such a short space of time!

I seem to be unable to c and p on here.
However-would the 1871 Scotland census with sis-in-law Sarah LAWSON and daughter Mary Armstrong BURD...be the result of this marriage.....Marriages Mar 1842
ARMSTRONG Mary Wigton 25 175
LAWSON George Wigton 25 175


Maureen

MaureeninNY,
It looks a likely link as Wigton and Carlisle are not too far away from each other.
If you get a chance to c and p the 1871 census record that would be great!
Thanks,
Phil

In case Maureen doesn't see your post Philip - I think this is the 1871 that she is talking about -
