A Different Geddes Family

[itsmaggie]

I have a William Geddes, born abt 1853, who married Janet (Jessie) Sutherland.  Their children were

Catherine Ann       b 1883, went to Australia, married and had no children
Peter                     b 1883  nothing known about him
Jessie                    b 1893 went to Australia, married and had one child
Alexander                 went to Australia, married and had no children
George                     married Jeannie Bowie and ?
Jeanie                      married William Jappie and had two ?children
Mary                       b abt 1901, married Arthur Smith, had two children
William                    married and lived in Glasgow, had a son, Bill
James                    died as a child
Grace                     died as a child

I'd like to track the present remaining families if possible but also to find the previous generations of the Geddes family

I have William's parents as Peter (Foskie) Geddes, and Mary Slater (Sclater).  Their other children were

Jane                       b 1846
Mary                       b 1849
Alexander               b Aug 1850
Janet                      b 1859

I'm hoping I'm on the right track with these.  Any clues at all would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi, I've found Peter,Mary & family in Rathven in the 1851 & 61 censuses. If you go on the freecen website you'll be able to get the full details. In 1851 they are at 63 Nether Buckie (living with them is "Grandpa" Alexander Geddes aged 68.) In 1861 their address is 92 Below the Brae. The children you named are there & also another son,Peter aged 5. Hope this helps,

Thank you so much for this.  I've found them on the census after previously searching in Banff instead of Rathven.

I'll keep the search going though.
