Center- Brodie- Peter- Scott - Aberdeenshire (County, ABD, Scotland)
I am looking for continuation back from the marriage of Margaret Center to George Peter 26 Jul 1841, Monquhitter. Margaret Center born 1824 +/- (New Deer?), to Alexander Center (b.26 NOV 1786 New Deer) and Mary Brodie (b, 5 MAR 1787 St Fergus, Banffshire).
Old letters and notes connect Margaret Center (1824) as a cousin to Sir Walter Scott. Either Alexander Center's mum was Isobel Scott or Mary Brodie's mum or dad was Scott. Letters said that Sir Walter Scott's fathers sister was Margaret's Aunt. Would like to clear up family rumors.
Also looking for any information on the George Peter line, married to Margaret. As I understand it, he built the new school in aberdeenshire before he left for the USA circa 1870.

YULE & GRAY families - Midmar
My great great grandmother was Agnes YULE who was born in 1850 in Midmar. Her parents were Alexander YULE (c1830) and Jean GRAY (c1830) and I don’t know where they were born. Agnes YULE married Allan YOUNG (born c1842, perhaps in Ayr) in Glasgow in 1871 and they had a son John YOUNG (born c1873 in Motherwell) who married Sarah Ann PITTOCK in 1893 in Motherwell. Agnes YULE died in 1932 in Pitlochry, although her usual address was listed on her death certificate as 112 Parkhead St, Motherwell, and since she died of a stroke which was presumably sudden and unexpected I guess she may have been on holiday, or visiting someone in Pitlochry.
Does anyone have any relevant information on the YULE or GRAY families?
Thanks in advance.

Donald/Fraser Family, Castle Fraser Estate. - Cluny
I am looking for help in proving the parents of my 5 x great grandparents, William Donald and Barbara Fraser. They married in January 1803 in Cluny and lived on the Castle Fraser Estate where William worked. All five of their children were born there. The farm of Crowness is mentioned. I have no record of William''s death so assume it was prior to 1854 and an entry in the family bible says that Barbara died on Christmas Day in 1853, again before any official records.My direct ancestor, their eldest son Francis, I have been able to record, but have been unable to track William b 1805, Christian b 1807. John b 1810 and Katherine b 1814.
