Sue,

You have not indicated where you have looked, so we don't know if you have
the following information.

You start by finding the family in a census to find their home villages. Is
this your family in the 1881 census?
Dwelling Gorehead Croft 3
Census Place Dyce, Aberdeen, Scotland
Source FHL Film 0203454 GRO Ref Volume 190 EnumDist 1 Page 1
George STRACHAN M 50 M Lumphanan, Aberdeen, Scotland Rel Head Occ Crofter
Of 10 Acres
Margaret STRACHAN M 51 F Aboyne, Aberdeen, Scotland Rel Wife Occ Wife
Alfred WILSON 6 M Aberdeen, Scotland Rel G Son Occ Scholar

If so, now get the 1841 census for Lumphanan and Aboyne and find the
families. Visit your local LDS Family History Center to rent them.

BTW, apparently one of their daughters married a WILSON.

This record in the LDS IGI File shows that the wedding record is available.
It might contain additional information. Visit your local FHC to rent the
microfilm.
