Hi Marion, Thanks but I do have him on that census, later census (1871 +) are very useful to me though.

Have you got him on the 1841 census? Marion

Could I just thank Denis again I have just found two relatives killed in the first world war on the website you suggested.

Many thanks Marion two of them are mine. The 1840 one is my great great grandfather. I have checked the LDS site though.

This was on LDS any yours?

Five Meff war deaths recorded on www.cwgc.org Denis.

Have you looked on Scotlands People website? About 62 Meff births on there. Denis.

I am looking for any info anyone can get on the Meff family from Aberdeen. Meff is a very rare name so all info is useful (in fact there are only 18 Meffs on genesreunited and 17 are on my tree). Information from ancestry.co.uk would be interesting, things like newspapers, directories, obituaries, emmigration records, parish records or anything else that seems interesting. Thanks a lot!
