Trying to find information on my Grandfathers[ David Andrews Anderson] GRANDFATHER George Anderson. George had a son John L Anderson who is my Great Grandfather. Other children of George are:Margaret, Andrew, Joseph,Henry, Margaret, Catherine Ann, Georgina,Alfred. All of who I have not found anything else on except their existence from a Census. I know there has to be information on them I am just stumped. If you think you may have the same people maybe you could contact me here at this link.or through Private Message. I am hoping if I find more about these people it may lead me to some current relatives. My name is Brenda and I am the Grand Daughter of David Andrews Anderson and Mary Todd Anderson[nee] Anderson.

Kind Regards,
Brenda

Georgina with her sister Ann. The Scottish census records are usually transcribed pretty badly and the only way to check them are through scotlandspeople which is a pay per view site. I would think Ann's age could be 35 which would give her a birth year of 1866.

Then from scotlandspeople you can find Ann's marriage.

1 1884 LINKLATER WILLIAM ANDERSON ANN AUCHTERMUCHTY /FIFE 406/00 0010


I have looked at it and she was 19, parents were George, a news agent and Catherine MS Low. Witnesses were Henry Anderson and Catherine Linklater. His parents were Herman, a dairyman, and Jane MS Edgar. William was 26 and a police constable.

There was a marriage between Matilda Pellow and Henry Anderson in St Peter, Angus in 1887.


There is a death for a 35 year old Henry Anderson in St Peters, Angus in 1895.


Not sure if these are yours but they are on scotlandspeople.
