Hi Is anyone able to help me I am trying to find out the children of Alexander Geddes born 1857 and Janet Farquhar born approx 1869 I think both were born in Peterhead Aberdeen Scotland I have looked at the 1901 census but it was unreadable I think there was a daughter Margaret, if I am correct there is 4 children listed unfortunately I am unable to read them. I know in 1908 they had a fifth child Adam Geddes Janet Farquhar (mother) I believe her father was David Thanks Amanda

Hi Aileen I'm a little confused I have a marriage for Alexander Geddes and Barbara Hasty (could be spelt Haskie or Hastie) on the 23/03/1857 at Peterhead, then I have found one for Alexander Geddes and Isabella McDonald where he is listed as a "Widower" 28/09/1863 is this the same person I have not been able to find a death for Barbara, so I'm not sure if I have 2 different families Appreciate any help you may be able to give Amanda
