Find Ancestors

i paid 9.25, which i dont suppose is too bad, but at the rate of how good i am it will cost me that for every person i discover. its going to be a slow process. my other side of the family, crossley, have kept a lot of paper work, but the duncan side never did, so i am struggling. i need to confirm william g duncan birth date, now i know he died 1931, and where he actually came from, which i hope the marriage cert will confirm, through fathers name etc? i am however very surprised how much response i have got, i really appreciate it.

I sure will, just a case of waiting. On holiday soon too so........ I will for sure let everyone know for closure once i have the marriage cert. Thanks for now though.

UPDATE- i got the marriage certificate of WILLIAM GEOGRGE DUNCAN to FRANCES MURIEL EASTWOOD. Williams dad was JAMES LOW DUNCAN, but i still cannot find anything on him in census record etc?

How old was William George on the marriage certificate?

What was his occupation

What address did he give?

What was James Low's occupation?



Same information would also be helpful for Frances Eastwood.

Jason or james?

Whats the question.

Jason Mann 1847 - died 1882 is the father to Jessie Mann Smith 1876 Gibralter who married James Low Duncan born Aberdeen 1869.

Maryb.

Ah...... i read it completly wrong, makes sense now.

Though it now makes sense, i cannot find any record of these people in the censuses, or anywhere, how did you find out this? I must be doing something completely wrong.

Where are you looking for the census information (mine was from ancestry)?

Found all mine on Ancestry and Google.

Plus info off James Low Duncan's Military records.

Maryb.

Yes the census info in this website. Nothing. Then it sometimes says there are matches, but upon clicking, nothing.

not the best site for searching, Paul!
