	Smurfitt??. Is it possible the name was transcribed wrong, as i definitley have it down as Smurthwaite. Other wise the other information adds up. Adela

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,619 Send Message	The marriage was 1860 Scotland's People which is a Pay to view site will allow you to see the marriage certificate image if you haven't already got it. That should tell you (amongst other things) on the certificate the names of the parents of the couple including maiden names of mothers, parents occupations, alive or deceased. £7 will buy 30 credits and it will "cost" 1 credit to find the index and then 5 to look at and download the image

	Good Morning, i am struggling with details of two of my ancestors. Any help would be really appreciated. I am Struggling to find the parents of a Robert Hamilton born Scotland 1831. I have details of his marriage to a Janet Dykes (Born 1841) in Lanarkshire and their children, also born in Lanarkshire, but i can't find details of his parents. There is a very high probability that is father is also called Robert Hamilton, as that has been the pattern for four generations of descendents. I am also looking for the parents of a John W Smurthwaite born Sunderland 1839. Again i have information on his marriage to an Elizabeth Wheatley born 1842 and their children but can't find his parents. Any help, or tips on where to look would be amazing. Thank you, Adela
