Forbes / Davidson / Slessor Families - Peterhead area
Margaret Forbes was born in Peterhead around 1890, so I'm told, to James Forbes and Helen Davidson.Researching the two parents has proved to be a difficult task.(Margaret Forbes later married Arthur Alexander Milne.)
I did find, on http://familysearch.orghttp://familysearch.org a Margaret Forbes, born 3 November 1891, in Peterhead, to a James Forbes and a Helen Davidson Slessor Forbes.I'm pretty convinced these are the correct people.From there, however, the trail runs cold.
If these are the correct people, I'm not sure where the Slessor comes into play, since I was told my great-grandmother was Davidson.I did find a Helen Thomson Davidson born in Peterhead on 20 September 1868, to an Isabella Slessor (no father listed).But, I don't know whether this is my Helen, or not.The birthdate would make her the right age (23) to have been a mother in 1891, but it's all just guess work.
If you have any information about the Forbes, Davidsons, Slessors, etc. of the Peterhead area, that you would be willing to share, I would be most appreciative.Thanks!
