Research Notes

  1. Sons James (aged 14) and William (aged 12) were servants in the household of James Spence in Gartly, Aberdeenshire, at the time of the 1861 Scotland Census.
  2. Son George would've been 13-years-old at the time of the 1871 census, so he was either residing with someone else or had died before that time.
  3. Daughter Jane would've been 15-years-old at the time of the 1871 census, so she was either residing with someone else or had died before that time.
  4. Son Robert would've been 16-years-old at the time of the 1881 census, so he was either residing with someone else or had died before that time.
