Hello Wayne thank you for the very interesting information on your Barrons. The trouble is, I have no more data on our Barrons apart from the fact that John married Margaret Youngson in 1810 in Old Deer - this was Margaret's parish - and he next appears farming in Brucehill, New Deer, in the 1841 census, aged 55 so birth year 1786 unless the enumerator rounded down his age to 55 and shaved a few years off. The marriage entry does not give father's names and I have been unable to find John's parents or birthplace. There are a few possibilities but I haven't been able to nail one down positively. John Barron and Margaret Youngson's eldest children were: Margaret 1811, Jean 1813, John 1814, so presumably his father's name was also John. The next eldest son's name was William, born 1816. Of course, some children may have died although there are very few gaps in the childrens' births so I am not sure. If John Barron were Jean Barron's elder brother that would mean he was from Tullynessie, a fair distance south of Old Deer - but not impossible, I suppose. I have found in Scotlands' People John Barron born to: William Barron 25.12.1782 in Kinnethmont - just to the north of Tullynessie John Barron & Elspet Paul 11.07.1783 in Rayne - again north of Tullynessie otherwise James Barron & Margaret Imray 24.06.1783 in Midmar to the south and west of the City of Aberdeen. John Barron & Katharine Marr 6.1.1780 in the city of Aberdeen. So it may well be that John's father was either the William or ( first ) John above - or he might have not been in the registers at all...... Mary
