Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: ANDERSON families of Tarland and Milgive Aberdeenshire Scotland

        There is an Alexander Anderson baptised 8 Oct 1809 at Tarland & Migvie.     The parents are Charles Anderson & Isobell Reid.

        Added:  There is also an Alexander Anderson baptised 10 Apr 1820 at Aberdeen.    The parents are James Anderson & Isabella Simpson.     

Those don't match the family story of his parents being George and Isabelle Simson....Does anyone know if there is a non-conformist church of some type?  Is there any place else to look?

Thank you,
Gaye Willis

Gaye, welcome to RootsChat  :)

Is this Alexander and family here https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/M7LP-F8X

He died in Scotland it seems in 1868. Have you viewed his death cert to confirm his parents' details? If so, what did it say re his father's occuaption?

That is my Alexander Anderson, but I believe the death date is off.  His son, also an Alexander, died on 2 April 1860 and the record says his father was deceased at the time.  I always thought it was an interesting coincidence that both father and son died on April 2 eight years apart.  Now I believe it was a transcription error in the family years ago.  I am just having a hard time erasing the old information that so many family members have.

Thanks for any ideas you can give to find him with his parents.  Family records suggest that he may have a brother, George, and a sister, Margaret.  But I have no idea of the source of that information.

My third great grandfather was Alexander Anderson, born about 1812.  Some family records say he was born in Crathie, but others say Tarland.  I happened on this list and wondered if anyone had information on him.  I have found him on census records, but have not found a birth or christening records for him. Family tradition says his father was George Anderson and mother was Isabelle Simson.  There may have been 2 siblings, George and Margaret.   Any information him or his family would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Gaye
