As Jean/Jane Smith or Gray or Pirie is described as a pauper in at least one census after 1845, it would be worth checking whether the Tarland Parochial Board (Poor relief) records have survived, because if they have they may well contain quite a lot of information about her and her family.

Start with Aberdeen Archives https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/libraries-and-archives/aberdeen-city-and-aberdeenshire-archives
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I've written to the Parochial Board this morning - will see what response I get.
Also ordered the marriage cert for Harry.

If Beatrice had a child outside of wedlock would she have been brought before the Kirk Sessions? Just thought there might be some more information re who the father was?

Yes, and yes.

Have found a reference for Kirk Sessions 1853-1898 Tarland and Migvie - Minute Book held at the National Records Office.  Country Code GB; Repository code 234 and Reference CH2/351/3.

Does the NRS have a research service that you know of?  Or perhaps a reputable private researcher that may be able to look for information on Beatrice Grey/Gray in approx. 1855/56.

The NRS do not have a research service.

You can hire a reputable researcher via https://www.asgra.co.uk/ but unfortunately the NRS is still closed due to coronavirus - see https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/about-us/service-status - so they won't be able to do anything for you meantime.

I can't believe NRS is still in lockdown.
