I am actually on Scotlands People and I spent about $30 Australian dollars on a duplicate of the wedding details of Margaret Sinclair and Robert Wood from the Old Parochial Records in a certificate form - which I had already obtained on a free website [or it could have been on Find My Past which I have an ongoing yearly subscription, so it was included], so that was a little frustrating.
I have seem the Baptism record of Robert Wood in Aucterless, with James Wood and Elslpet Howie, but I can't prove either way if this is correct or not. Any ideas?

Hi Merryn

Scotlands People Site has a Baptism Record for a Robert Wood baptised 05.06.1824 in Auchterless. Parents listed as James Wood and Elspet Howie.

This could be him. Let me know if you need any further help.

Regards
Dawn

You need Scotlands People which isn't a subs site I,m afraid

You can search free but need units to view the certs

You probably know this anyway from your searches

Bmds registration though didn't start till 1855 so it's parish records

They don't show fathers names though for marriages

Hi, I'm searching for birth/parental information for the above and their ancestors.. They were married at King Edward Aberdeenshire on 26 of May 1850. Robert Wood already had a son [also named Robert Wood - born to Ann Davidson [i think], and with Margaret had 2 other children - Margaret Wood [born 1848] and Alexander Sinclair Wood [born 1854]. Margaret Sinclair [farmservants wife]and the 2 oldest children are recorded in the 1851Census living in Lochagan [house] Banffshire.

Any family history, living relatives...would be greatly appreciated.
NB I believe Robert Wood [husband] was born in Aucterless/Turriff Aberdeenshire approx 1821-1826.

Margaret Sinclair was born in Banffshire to Alexander Sinclair and Margaret Sinclair approx 1816.

Thankyou
