Looking for Information on Murdoch Finlayson Scotland B Abt 1810

By kiwigal September 22, 2012 1210 views 3 comments

My Great Grandfather Charles Finlayson was born to Murdoch Finlayson and a Margaret Dawson. Charles's parents did not marry and I was wondering whether anybody out there can help me. I have looked hard for Murdoch but nothing has come up. I do not know what part of Scotland he came from (big help) - Margaret Dawson came from Drumblade (Forgue) so Murdoch could have been passing by, he could have worked there, he could have lived there. I do not know. I even went on a mission to Abderdeen FHS in 2009 hoping to find something but to no avail. Help please - thank you

I searched in "Old Parish Registers - Births & Baptisms" for Murdoch Finlayson born between January 1800 and December 1820 - All Records, All Parishes - there was only one (1). Might be your man. Good luck
