Aye it was your great grandfather that signed his fathers (Robert Brydon Rattray) death certificate but put the name of Roberts father down as William and not Charles, I put the address your Great Grandfather lived at in aberdeen, its on page 3 of this thread :) He must have moved to Canada the following year after his father died.

Hold on a minute, Robert Bryden Rattray's father Charles "Rathay" Rattray, the mason, is dead in 1842 and is registered dead in his wedding certificate in 1859, so how can William Rattray, a hatter, be down as Robert Bryden Rattrays father when he dies in 1910?

Is William a brother of Charles, Robert Bryden Rattray's uncle or is Charles/William the same man? Maybe John Bryden Rattray put down the wrong name as his fathers father or did he know him by another name......see this family!!! Can we a little imagination and call our children different names?? :D

Where are you getting the Robert Rattray that was born "1850?" thats either been married or had an affair, the only ones I know of are Robert Bryden Rattray (22) who was married to Sarah Beattie (21) in 1859 in Edinburgh, who is the father one a Robert Beattie Rattray who died ages 10 months in 1866 and the other being another son they had a year later called Robert Beattie Rattray born 1867, which I suspect is the one who moved to Australia between 1891-1901 as he does not appear in the census when they are in Aberdeen, also it seem by your findings that his brother Charles had moved out and was a watchmaker in Falkirk and he also moved to Australia, am I right on that?

You think this is confusing, well you should see what happened down my line in the 1900s  ;D

Jokdy, I noticed that you wrote this a while back.....


16 Bonaccord Lane
Robert B Rattray 62
Sarah Rattray 63
Mary Rattray 37
Elizabeth Rattray 25
Helen Rattray 22
Williamina Irebster 7

For the 1901 census.....


I have some news :) "Williamina Irebster" is actually Williamina Webster, the illegitimate daughter of Mary Rattray and a man by the name of William Milne Webster, she dies in her 40s and is buried with my granny and great great granny Mary Rattray Marshall, this is where my line shoots off :)
