1. Their first child was William, my grandfather, who worked in his fathers firm.

2. Their second child, Jane (or Jeannie) seems to have remained living in her parents home during and after their lifetimes. She never married, and I dont know whether she had any formal higher education. She played the organ in the local Methodist Chapel, and I believe gave some music lessons. Around age 40, or perhaps around the time of her fathers death, she became an invalid; none of the next generation were aware of the nature of her medical problem but she died well into her 80s having spent half her life in bed. For many years she had lived in the home of her parents with her younger sister, Hannah, and then she lived with her other sister, Maggie.

3. George McIntosh was born some 5 years later than William. In the family he was known as Dod. I understand that around 1910 or 1911 he emigrated to South Africa, as he felt his prospects in Buckie were poor. He must have been involved with his fathers firm, as its name was W.R.McIntosh & Sons (ie plural sons, rather than singular son). I suspect that he was married when he left, as his first wife was Helen (Nellie) Lobb, and both her proper and informal names were known to the family in Buckie. By this wife he had 3 children, George, John and Margaret. He remarried (the second wife was called Christina) and had 3 further children - Harold, Stanley and Jean. I know no more.

4. Margaret (Maggie) was the second daughter. She married a wealthy draper, whose surname was Sim. They lived in a large house in grounds in Banff (now owned by the local authority) and his business was on the other side of the river in Macduff. He died only a few years after their marriage, leaving Maggie a childless widow, but very comfortably off. Meantime George in South Africa was struggling financially with a large family and never came back to UK. However the youngest of his children by his first wife, Margaret, came to Scotland as a child and was brought up by Maggie in Banff. The family in Buckie do not know whether there was a formal adoption. Maggie saw to the childs education and met the costs of her time at university. Margaret returned to live in South Africa as an adult, but came regularly to UK to see Maggie at Maggies expense.
Added by Glenn McIntosh - Sometime in her later years Maggie owned 'MOY COTTAGE' Buckie. The Margaret adopted by Maggie, married a Mr Ferris. They had a daughter who eventually received the inheritance.
