George and Barbara (Barbra) Wood

[Carol McI]

Hi Alex

I am also researching this same family.  My Wood family originated in Gamrie.  They were farmers.

I have traced mine back to John Wood and Anne or Jane Ingram - they had a son William Wood in 1794 who married Christian Watt in New Deer.  I am keen to compare notes with you to see if we can help each other

Hi,I'm also researching Woods of Gamrie. However they are a different line to yours.  I've traced back to John Wood & Ann Morison who married in Gamrie on  December 28th 1805.They had a lot of descendants. If anyone has a query regarding them I'd be delighted to assist!

I have pondered for a long time whether Jphn Wood, of John Wood and Ann Morison was married twice.  The first time to Anne Ingram.  I think I have decided that John Wood and Anne Ingram was a different John.  He is the right age but all his children were born at Minnonie and all John Wood and Anne Morison's were born in or near Covie (about 5 miles away).

My William Wood's death cert (1868) has his parents as John Wood and Jane Ingram.  I wondered if the "Jane' was a mistake as the only marriage is between John Wood and Anne Ingram.

My William Wood moved to New Deer and, interestingly, John Wood and Ann Morison's son William also moved to New Deer and became a chemist.

I would be pleased to hear from you

Sorry I'm a bit late to this...real life 

Anyway, I'd be very interested in anything you've got on George and Barbara's children.

I've got Rankins, Reids and Morisons at various points in my tree but nothing that jumps out and hits me as linking up directly with what's here,  It is possible there's a link hiding in there somewhere...
