George Waugh's parents were Robert Waugh and Elizabeth Wilson.
However, Robert Waugh (a "joiner" or carpenter) married Isobel Bell on March 20, 1807, in Lochmaben, and they had at least eight children: William (born June 15, 1807, in Lochmaben), John (born Oct 22, 1809, in Lochmaben), Mary Waugh (born Nov 8, 1812, in Shilling hill (?) Dryfesdale), Jean (born March 22, 1816, in Turnmuir (?) Dryfesdale); Jessie (born June 6, 1819, in Lockerby, Dryfesdale); Agnes (born Oct 6, 1821, in Moffat); Robert (born Aug 1, 1824, in Moffat); and Isabella (born about 1831).
Elizabeth Wilson married Cornelius Daley (born c 1765 in Ireland, and of the Parish of St. Mungo) on Jan 13, 1809 in Lochmaben. They had two children: William Daley (b. Sept 9, 1809, in St. Mungo, d. Nov 27, 1882) and John Daley (b. July 4, 1810, d. Dec 14, 1884) both born in Lochmaben.
George Waugh was probably raised by Elizabeth Wilson and Cornelius Daley.
In the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 Scottish census', George Waugh's occupation was listed as "mole catcher" in the Middlebie area and in Cambusnethan. In the 1851 Census for Dumfriesshire there were 76 mole catchers recorded. As a molecatcher, George Waugh would have traveled from farm to farm conducting his business.
