This fits with the age of George Jr in the 1851 census. Most of the children in the census were born in Hopeman, which is in the parish of Duffus, and for some reason the 1820-1854 Duffus baptisms have been omitted from both the IGI and the Scotland's People index. The GROS knows about the omission and it will be corrected, so if they're in the register they should become available through SP in due course. If you go to SP at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk you should be able to find George and Jean's death certificates, assuming of course that they died in Scotland after 1855. These should tell you the names of their parents, and thus get you back another generation. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
