Hi.
Rekindled interest in Chapman line has led to another problem.
John Chapman the Tailor's son, John Chapman, Flesher Journeyman, (Butcher) 1852 - 1914, married Isabella Gordon, 1850 in Inverurie 1877, now trying to trace her Ancestors and this leads to more puzzles. Born Forglen Banff to parents George Gordon & Isabella Paul as noted on her D.C 1925, 204/ 00 0034, Inverurie, though M.C. 1877, 204/00 0005, Inverurie states John Chapman & Isabella Paul:
OPR Birth154/ 0020 0080, Forglen:
Gordon & Paul:(* Dates look altered on page, Header says 16/09/1850, but top of page says December 31st 1833, and other entries to bottom go through 30's to 1845.*)( First entry on page?)
Isabella, illegitimate daughter of George Gordon Farm Servant MountClairy and Isabella Paul was born at Hillhead of MountClairy. April . Twenty Sixth 1850: and baptized, September Sixteenth 1850. Witnesses, George Paul and Alexander Barclay, both residing at Hillhead of MountClairy.
Also a sister Helen 1848 Forglen, Illegitimate, same place of birth, witnesses George Paul & George Chalmers: 154/ 0020 0079, Forglen

Can anyone help with Davidson parents history, cannot trace on SP.
D.C. of Janet Paul, 161/ 00 0007:
Marnoch/ Banff: 1886 Jan 14th, Mid St. Aberchirder, Widow of George Paul, Crofter, 86years, ( Alone and Pauper 1881 Census) gives Parents as James Center, Crofter, (deceased), Ann Center, M.S. Morrison, (deceased).
Can anyone help with Center parents history, cannot trace them.
All help greatly appreciated and thanks to those that have replied to first enquiry, still ongoing.
Cheers,
Dunmac.
P.S. Almost forgotten to ask, cannot find any of the 1861 crowd in the 1871 Census? though Janet Paul comes up a Pauper at same address 1881?
