Find Ancestors

Hi i have a family on my grandmothers side that i only recently found out about,and would like to know more about them.
so if any one has access to Scottish census i would really appreciate any info i can get.
however the surname is always spelled a different way.This is what i know
the family are John Macgegor father and Agnes Taylor mother
Children
Thomas Macgregor Feb 1845 Fyvie
Isabel Macgregor Dec 1847 Fyvie
George Dinnas Macgregor Nov 1849 Fyvie
Margaret Macgregor Nov 1852 Fyvie

I don't know any thing about the parents
Margaret was my ancestor she married Robert Thomson and died of TB in 1892 at 14 Chapel Lane Aberdeen
Margaret is my great great grandmother so it would be nice to know where her parents came from and what they did for a living.
Many thanks
Cathie

Hi Cassandra
,this does look like the mother and some of the children,especially given that the head householder is a Dinnas which is the same as the middle name of the son George.
so thanks for that.I wonder where the father was,perhaps Agnes was a widow
So she was born in Udny!
Thank you again

Seems like the whole family was living on this farm together,so that's good news.

CASSANDRA

YOU'RE WELCOME!!

I'LL JUST SORT OUT RELATIONS ON THIS 1851

CASSANDRA

I think that this is a strong possibility when we have the Dinnes surname in there
My own recent family still give surnames as middle names,it's been quite usefull for me when trying to trace people.

POOR MARGARET!
IS IT POSSIBLE SHE COULD BE MARY IN THE 1861??

CASSANDRA

Just realized,
Margaret married in 1874 or there about so she wouldn't be on the census with them after that date,poor margaret i bet they had her working on another farm somewhere

CASSANDRA

Mary is age 10 on that one,Margaret was born 1857 and christened on 27 feb.
unless the enumerator wrote the age down wrong,
she should have been about three 1861,what a puzzle all of the other children are there, and the one that i think proves its the correct family is the son George Dinnas Macgregor,i can't see two people form the same place at the same time being called that.
The 1871 does have the correct place of birth, i suppose as she was the last born they may not have been able to keep another child,the granny or sister or someone could have brought her up!
Cathie

DO YOU KNOW HER MARRIED NAME??

CASSANDRA

YOU'RE GOT SHE WAS BORN NOV 1852 ON YOUR FIRST POST.

YOU'RE RIGHT WITH ALL THAT FARMING TO DO MAYBE A GRANDMOTHER LOOKED AFTER HER!!
