Nat, are you suggesting that volunteers should pay to do look-ups for you? We are just members of GR like you and a lot of us are pensioners. |

margee no not at all, I am new to the sight and took it possibly wrongly that ancestor search , meant you could ask , and before I asked I also checked other thread where people have asked for a look up that they would have to pay should they do it themselves. |

Natalie, there is absolutely no harm in asking. Members that have subscriptions for sites like Ancestry and Finfmypast are happy to lookup those sites for information to help. For example it could be that some of our Scottish ancestors appear on public trees on Ancestry. While all research done by others should be verified, it can be used as a starting point to narrow the search when looking for a fairly common surname. |

Sorry Jacqueline. I see you had posted an explanation while I was typing a reply to Natalie. I will leave the post to reassure Natalie that we will help in any way possible using sites we have subs for. |

Natalie, do you have the earlier census records for William and Margaret showing their siblings please? That may save you a little time when searching for their children as in was quite common in Scotland for parents to use family names for their children. |
