Looking for information on my ggg-grandparents John Barclay/Lydia nee Sellar (married 1811) - John lived during his early years at Old Deer, Old Meldrum and finally High Street, New Pitsligo and Lydia Sellar at Artamford, New Deer in her days prior to the marriage.
They had the following children:
John who died in the West Indies of fever
Andrew married to Ann Finnie, buried at New Pitsligo
William
James
Peter, b.1826, my gg-grandfather who married first Mary McDonald who I descend (Mary d.1858), he then married Jean Murison Park (Peter/Jane are buried at New Pitsligo)
Jean
Any information would be very much appreciated. Please note an Andrew Barclay of Old Meldrum was witness to 3 children of John and Lydia, possible his father/uncle?
Kindest regards
Graeme A. Barclay
