Find Ancestors

Thanks, ArgyllGran. :-) I have in fact seen all the Scottish certificates and census returns relating to Hilary Agnew and his wife Elizabeth Jane Scott Cochran and their family, and I have some further information about their descendants. I was only really replying to Emily's message looking for Ian, Audrey and Shelaugh Agnew.

If you buy credits on Scotlands People you can view the 1911 census, and see if Hilary and Elizabeth had any more children by then.

But without credits, re 1911:

AGNEW
HILARY A
1911
M
Age: 17
431/ 1/ 46
Forgan
Fife

His parents, Dorothy and Mildred are also all in Forgan in 1911. There's also a Florence E Agnew, aged 4.

This will be her birth:

AGNEW
FLORENCE ELIZABETH
F
1906
431/ 34
Forgan

Dorothy's birth:

AGNEW
DOROTHY MAY
F
1897
431/ 21
Forgan


I don't see a marriage for her in Scotland , England, or Wales - at least not giving her middle initial.

Mildred's birth:

AGNEW
MILDRED SCOTT
F
1892
282/1 397
St Peter


Mildred never married, so presumably had no children:

As you probably know, Anne, it's not possible to use mother's maiden surname to narrow down birth results on ScotlandsPeople, and Agnew's not an uncommon name, so I doubt if we can help you with your query.

Anne - as this thread was started over 12 years ago, it highly unlikely that Emily is checking for replies now. This was her first and only post on the boards; she may be a lapsed member.

All the same you can try sending her a personal message by clicking on her name. If she is still using the same linked email address, she'll be notified that you are trying to contact her.

As you probably know, you can check to see if your PM has been opened by looking in your 'sent messages' box on GR. Unread ones will still have an envelope icon next to the title.

Hilary Alexander Agnew was born in Dundee in 1893 and died in Surrey in 1952.

His father was Hilary Agnew, born 28 May 1857 in St Peter Port, Guernsey, died 1 November 1913 in Newport, Fife.

His grandfather was Thomas Hilary Agnew, born in St Peter Port, Guernsey in 1824.

His great-grandfather was James Agnew (1790-1851) who was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey.

My connection is via Elizabeth Jane Scott Cochrane (1869-1914), wife of Hilary Agnew (1857-1913). I have no more information about the previous generations of Agnews, but I am interested in anything about the descendants of Elizabeth Jane Scott Cochrane or Agnew.

I am trying to find Ian Agnew born around 1932. His father was called Hilary Alexander Agnew who died in 1952. He has two sisters Audrey and Shelaugh. Lived in scotland. Descendants from the Agnew's Of Lochnaw. Any help would be appreciated.
