[AnnGeorge]

Alexander Keard was born in Aberdeen approx. 1804 and joined the army aged 18. He was in Woolwich, London when his daughter Isabella Lumsden Keard was born. Pleases does anyone know if he married Anne Gunn or Anne Campbell. Thanks.

Thanks very much for your reply Maureen, it was the one that I wanted.

Ann Gunn born Aberdeen  approx. 1807 married Alexander Keard. They named their eldest daughter Ann Campbell Keard and the younger daughter Isabella Lumsden Keard. The Isabella Lumsden was after Alexanders mother and I am wondering if maybe Ann Gunns mother was nee Campbell and Ann Campbell Keard was named after her. Please does anyone know if this might be true. Thanks.

When did Ann die and did she die in Scotland?  If it was 1855 onwards  downloading a copy of her death cert from Scotlands People will give you her parents names and mothers maiden name

There is an Ann Keard death in 1831 Aberdeen which may be her

See reply below - died in England

Ann Gunn born Aberdeen

How do you know she was born in Aberdeen?  She was in England from at least 1835 when dtr Ann was born and all the census entries I can find her on just give Scotland as her birthplace

Thanks Carole for your help. I had been told that she was born in Scotland but didn't know of the marriage details. Alexander joined the Royal Artillery in 1823 so could have met her in England but wonder if they would have travelled to Scotland for the wedding in those days  With the fathers name maybe I'll get her mothers maiden name. Thanks again.
