Find Ancestors

Please tell me if I have missed you out!!


I will be in Scottish Records Office sometime during the first half of January 2009.
I am happy to do some lookups....usual info required:

Name
DOB
DOD
Parents
Place
Middle names
Occupations
Any census you have found already..date age and place only.

Obviously, if you know ALL these things you don't need my help!!

Anything you can provide that you think will help.

NO private messages will be replied to.
If the info is sensitive say so in the thread and I will see if I can help or not.

Sorry Suzanne - I just have the marriage regd. 1908 Alnwick but no certificate I'm afraid. Don't worry if this is an impssible ask because I know the info I can provide is poor. Thank you.

Midlands Margaret...

The marriage cert is vital if you want to be sure you have the right family. I've tried on ancestry with the info you gave but there are lots of Cunninghams in Scotland and Katherine could have been mis-spelt as Catherine which is very common.

If you get the cert soon try to contact me again.

Suzanne

Hi Suzi - thank you very much for trying. Have been in touch with family members and it is thought that Katherine Cunningham maybe came from Annan which I believe is in Dumfrieshire. Thanks again

Hi Suzi,

Many thanks for your kind offer. I am looking for the details of the following birth which I found on Scotlands People Index.

SP - Birth
1911 MORRISON Lily Isabella F District of Kelvin. Glasgow Lanarkshire

Parents James and Alexina Morrison.

Alexina (Alice) is also known as Fields (maiden name Wright). I would like to know if she is still listing herself as wife of John Fields on this birth certificate.

Any information would be very much appreciated.

bye Helen

Dear Suzi,

Thank you for your offer of help. My gg granddad Patrick Gordon who was an iron worker and died in April 1913 in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire aged 37.

He moved to Middlesbrough by 1894 when he was a witness at his sister-in-laws wedding, and before marrying my gg gran in 1896. He was living in Middlesbrough in the 1901 census (The only census I can find him in when he was in Middlesbrough.). In this census his birth is listed as being in Middlesbrough, although my granddad said he was born in Glasgow, Scotland (according to family legend).

I know from his marriage certificate that Patrick's father was James Gordon, an iron worker, who had died by 1896.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Peter

Hi Suzi Wong,
Many many thanks for you offer, I am looking for a divorce of Nellie Lees Connelly from Scott Yuill Blair, they married in 1934 and should have divorced by about 1949 as Scott has a second family by then in England.
The marriage took place in Hamilton Parsh Church Hamilton Lanarkshire.
The other one I am looking for is a marriage cert of Mary Lees Blair to Jack Wood or John That marriage would also have talen place in Hamilton. This marriage would have taken place around 1950 and divorce by 1960
Any info would be very much appreciated.

Hi Suzanne,
Margaret's name was Cruden her father i believe was James Cruden, and she was married in Cruden! I have her place of birth as Auchterless, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
The last census info i have for them was found by someone else researching the same line and they say they found John and Margaret at Hill of Gask in the 1841 census!! i'm not sure they are the same people at all, i havn't been able to verify!
I actually wondered if he died and she remarried,only because they only had the two children.
also i do think the son John was born before the marriage
