Last thing.Just tell me if Ive got this right. Thomas was married to Janet first and had a kid called Janet.
Then he married Elizabeth and they had a kid.They also had his other two kids living with them. If thats correct then I need to find another kid belonging to Elizabeth and Thomas also called Thomas who was born arond 1864. Any takers......

I have got credits but just cant read the certificates!!! When I search the census I dont find anything but I think thats lack of experience in working out the info.

Looks like you need to buy some credits on www.scotlandspeople.org.uk and get some certificates
