I have transcriptions of the death certs of Isabella, May, William and Elizabeth which gives their ages and parents. I think a lot of the Geddes were Catholic which is possibly why there  are no christenings on the IGI. They are buried in South Division 13 Lair 22 at St Peter,s cemetery in Aberdeen Also buried in this lair but not on tombstone is James Thomson husband of Magdalene Milne (parents Matthew Milne and Magdalene Milne ms Milne) Question - Was Magdalene related to our May who married John Geddes? I imagine so somehow.

Had another look at my notes
Margaret Geddes aged 76 when she died in 1855 and buried with husband in Rathven cemetery.
Did you know that there were 2 lots of Geddes one lot were fisherfolk and our lot were farmfolk and they don't seem to mix.
James Dow aged 65 in 1843.

I didn't have the info on May Milne. As for Margaret Geddes I often wondered about that too. My husband descended from Isabella  ca 1818 (dau of John and May Milne) who marr Peter Gordon.
Other children of John and May wereMay (Marjory) ca 1826, William ca 1822 and Elizabeth ca 1836. These 3 went to Aberdeen and died there - none of them married.
