George Dey married to Petrie with a DOB of 1851

[cdey]

Can't find anything for this family largely because of limited info. I do believe George's Death was sometime around 1902 but that is not for sure. Nor do I have his wife's first name just an est. dob in 1851. They had a son I know of, by the name  William Petrie Dey who immigrated to Canada and married a Florence Agnes Scott (born 1901). William died in 1967. Please let me know if anyone has information regarding this family.
Thank you!

Hello - welcome to Rootschat,

Thanks to the info kerry printed below, I find on the official govt website www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk the following marriage. (it's also the only Dey/Petrie marriage in all of Scotland betwen 1866 and 1900 - if you don't put in christian names in the search box)

George Dey (crofter, Hillhead, Thomastown, Drumblade) aged 45, parents James Dey (agricultural labourer - deceased) and mother Ann Dey (maiden name ) married:

Helen Petrie ( domestic servant) aged 25 parents, William Petrie (agricultural labourer) and Margaret Petrie (maiden name Collie), on 26th December 1882 in the Parish of Drumblade.

The above site is ppv.  £6.00 buys 30 credits.  This allows for the download of up to 5 bmds/census records (copies - not transcriptions).  You have to make 3 posts before personal messages are allowed . To prevent spamming.  When you've done that if you send me your e-mail address - I can if you wish, forward a copy of the marriage entry.  It's not the best of copies.

Shall post part of the image to see if others can interpret
the maiden name of Ann Dey.  I feel it begins with 'A', the 2 letters at the begining are the usual MS (Maiden Surname).

Regards,  Steve .

Hello

Further to the Monicas (inclines head in respect) input.

If we take into account that before 1900'ish, names were spelt variously and there was a a high degree of illiteracy.
The following children were possibly born to 'your' James Dey and his wife Ann/e


1.  John Dey ch. 02 Apr 1815  Huntly , Abedeenshire
2.  Isabel Dey ch.  13 Apr 1817, Huntly, Aberdeenshire
3.  Margt Dey ch. 21 Mar 1819, Huntly, Aberdeenshire
4.  James Dey  ch.  16 June 1822, Huntly, Aberdeenshire
5.  Alexr. Dey  ch.  09 Mar  May 1824,Huntly, Aberdeenshire
6.  George Dey  ch. 14 Mar 1830, Huntly, Aberdeenshire

Source www.familysearch.org.uk  - all entries are 'extracted'.  There is the birth of a William Dey attributed to your couple by a canadian submitter - address details on the IGI.  b.  11 May 1827.  The 'extracted record hads him born to a James Dey andd an Ann Elgin.

Looked for a marriage on both the IGI and Scotlands People - the only one with a James Dey/Day and an Ann/e - only brought up the one below (on the OPRs), which was anything near.  The Canadian researcher appears to have accepted this as fact.
