Hi Malc

There are a number of trees on Ancestry for this family - have you got access to it?

Not sure how much info you have. If you can let me know what you are missing, we can have a look around

Hi Monica

Thanks for your help

We know of this family tree, but, believe there may be a mistake.  This family tree shows a Margaret Third, born 1827 ??

Our Margaret, according to her death record, died 12.03.1898 at Rathen aged 61, this would make her born 1836/7, the entry shows her father to be George Third and her mother Jane Dunn.

We believe the mistake comes from the 1841 Strichen census which shows Margarets age as 13, it is not a clear entry and we think it is actually a 3, this would then make the ages tie up for our Margaret with this family. The 1827 Margaret, we think, does not exist !

Also, in the 1881 census for Lonmay -
Margaret Third, head, unmarried aged 44, along with her family details, there is listed a Jane Third, sister, aged 60. We believe this was actually her step-mother Jean/Jane Mitchell b:1821. This then again connects our Margaret with that family.

This has caused a lot of confusion but we believe that the above information is correct, and this is our Margaret's family tree.
