I have no info on him at all, he is at the top of my family tree, born around 1870, ? scotland

To be in your tree at all, he must have some connections, be it wife, children or siblings.

hello he had a child robert mcglachie born 1885-1957, he appears on the marriager cert i have for robert and is a farmer

don't think he would have fathered Robert at fifteen years of age

that isn't a definate age, its just one i use as a rough guess but perhaps 1860 would be better, sorry i'm still a bit of a novice at all this

Good. That's a start

What else can you tell us from the marriage cert?
In Scotland I presume ?
Where and When?
Bride's name and witnesses?

Can you find the family on any censuses?

The marriage was registered in st pancras london 11th jan 1908
brides name ellen elizabeth page,there's no mention of witness'
i have found robert on the census must be 1911 one as he was a trooper in the life guards based at albany street barracks
i say scotland as i believe thats where he must have come from

i believe it must go back to scotland as robert was born in ayr ayrshire, info from 1911 census

For info

Have you looked on Scotlandspeople for a birth -pay to view site

Usually scottish birth certs give the date the parents married

i have just found this site, and tried to search but i have found no joy. I'm a little confused abou the harriet price and charles, coulkd she be another wife? and perhaps he married a former wife of roberts? tahnk you very much for looking

glitterbaby where did you get that info? i have been lookin on ancestry free bmd is there any better sites

On Robert's marriage cert does it say if his father is deceased ?

The marriage is on freebmd

Strange that there are no witnesses recorded.

Charles Vote and Harriet Price are just the names of the other couple who share the same page on the marriage register.
They have nothing to do with your couple.

Sometimes there can be 8 names sharing the same reference number which is why it's difficult to tell who married who .... until 1911, when the index pairs them up.

thank you for all of your help, i have tried a number of different variant spelling on scotlands peopole and just keep coming up blank, heres where the story ends i feel, i dont know which other way to take my search now.

sorry mike there are witness' i assumed these were the names of the registrars one is clearly emily fowler, the other is i believe rose dadbon (alotho i can only really guess adbon the 1st letter is questionable) would they however have 2 female witness'?

on the marraiage certifiacte it doesn't say anything about marting being deceased

the next step for me is to find the marriager cert from roberts second marriage to margaret johnson (1896-1959) to see if this gives me any more information on martin mcglachie

Maybe Margaret was married before

Marriages Mar 1946 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brown Margaret - McGlachie Gateshead 10a 1967
McGlachie Robert - Brown Gateshead 10a 1967

thank you for that mike i will look in to it and order it, and tahnk you for help helen i will look into that over the next few days, at the moment this is the only way i think i can trace back the mcglachie name any further , cheers

hi helen i have looked at the pages looking at just robert, and there doesn't look to be anything coming up which i believe could be a match. i am now looking at robert martin with no surname but i have not found this one in 1886 as you said, i've looked between 1880-1890 aswell as your dates and it only comes with 3 results

i am having trouble finding any robert martin in 1886 between those dates, but i have put in m*glachie and it brings up results but when i click on view it just takes me back to home screen, do you have any experience with this site, do i need to buy different creditd for different results?
