Find Ancestors

Thank you all so much for your help and advice......

Unfortunately a trip to Scotland is not possible at present.

The newspaper ad is a possibility but once again we're a bit short on time, the hospital are pushing for a paupers funeral and are being funny with us as we're only friends not family.

Anne thank you so much that information is invaluable.
Reggie - Falkirk, yes it is on my list of things to do tomorrow along with rehoming Bill's cat and collating and itemising the contents of his flat etc.......

I'm also trying to find his paperwork, documents etc., it's all a bit of a ghastly nightmare at the moment.

I really do appreciate all your help and advice guys.
Its so nice to know that there are people who can always point you in the right direction.......

Your best bet with regard to William W's parents is to buy some credits for Scotlands People website.

Look for Wilhelmina on 1911 census

Find William Joseph's birth - then look for siblings

Do you have any idea of where he was born?

Hi Happydaze,
After a search on Scotlands People, parents William Robson and Wilhelmina Doughty married in Bo'ness, West Lothian in 1943.

You would need to obtain the 1943 marriage record to determine both sets of parents, but It would suggest that William Welsh Robson was their eldest child .

As Janice said, The GRO in Edinburgh is the best place to look any for siblings.

What about putting a message in one of the Scottish papers. The Daily Record is very popular.

If it's possible for you to visit Edinburgh, you'll be able to search through all the records and find everyone who is there to be found.

Hi

I wonder if there is anyone who might be able to give me some advice on Scottish genealogy.

I have the birth certificate for William Welsh Robson b 27/5/1944 Falkirk. Mother Wilhomena Robson Nee Doughty (b19/2/1903) Father William Joseph Robson (b30/7/1891).

I need to find out whether William W had siblings or his parents had siblings.

William died last week and my husband has been asked to try and find family to inform.
Any information/advice very gratefully received.

Thank you in anticipation
