Find Ancestors

Helen, I have just PM'd you.

With regard to being in Ayr, Ayrshire, maybe the boundaries or regions/districts were slightly different then making it difficult to track her down?

K, I hadn't looked that far for Mary. I'm originally from Portsmouth and as most people know it's the home of the Royal Navy. Arthur was in the Navy and if Marys Dad, John, was also a mariner maybe there is also some some connection there. Thanks again.

Curious.....On the 1901 census there is a Mary McQuarrie, aged 27, a servant/domestic in Portsmouth, born in Wick in Scotland and after rummaging through the family bits and pieces I have here, some of my Dads scribbles have Wick on them. Sadly looking again on the SP site, still no Mary! She is proving to be very elusive! This gives me even more incentive just to find her!!

Hello all. I am in my local library and thought I'd just use the PC for ancestry, (as it's free!).

I'd just like to ask if there is anyone who could look up the Scotland census 1901 for Mary please?...no worries if not I will do it tonight when I get home...if the electricity is back on that is!!

Thanks.
