Looks like he died at some stage before 1881.

The IGI (extracted) has the birth of an Annie Russell in St Ninian, Stirling 7 Dec 1869. Parents - William Russell and Margaret Forsyth.


I'll see if I can find the death of George Banks.

My Grandmother Annie Banks was born in Muiravonside. I think this refers to her

The most likely death of George was in Cramond, Edinburgh, 1875. Aged 34.

There are quite a few but this one looks the nearest in age. If so, they would have moved down 1871-1875.

The IGI has a patron submission for the marriage of George Banks and Sarah Bremner in Keis, Wick on 16 May 1862. It records George's parents as James Banks and Christina Sutherland.

This would need to be checked against the Old Parish records.

There is a George Banks baptism at roughly the correct  time period in Thurso (father - James)  and one in Canisbay (father - John)  so that a marriage or death cert for him would be needed to make sure who his parents were.

Given that their first son on the 1871 census was a James, one of the Thurso baptisms are most likely:

28 Feb 1838, Thurso. Parents - James Banks and Elizabeth Campbell

Hi David 

All I did was look at the Censuses, the IGI on www.familysearch.org and ScotlandsPeople www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

I'll check up on George Banks and Sarah Bremner's parents in a minute or so.
