Find Ancestors

Hi Mhairi I would like to thank you and every one who has come to my rescue today. I am only a newby at this, only starting 6 weeks ago, as I haven't seen any family for almost 40 years and could not remember who was who????. I never knew where anyone came from till now. This sure has got me hooked!!! Most of the current family are now reunited and interested in my efforts (yours). I will send for the cert in Scotland and see where that leads me???? Thanks again Brian

You'll get his birth cert online from Scotlandspeople.gov.uk Doing a search on IGI with the fathers name will help you narrow down the search and save you some credits on SP. If that is their marriage in 1855 then get it! 1855 certs show so much more information than any others and are so helpful. Mhairi

Maureen That would put her in the right place to meet a man from Scotland,I'd say that looks very good Julie

Brian couldn't see the one you were saying in the 1861, but did see this one what do you think, it could be dad George Munro Age: 29 Estimated birth year: abt 1832 Relation: Boastwain Gender: Male Where born: Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland Civil parish: Vessels Town: At Sea County/Island: Misc Ships At Sea or Abroad Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Misc Ships Sub-registration district: Misc Ships ED, institution, or vessel: McDonnell Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 1 Household Members: Name Age John George Dryden 41 Robert Dryden 30 George Munro 29 Henry Tucker 46 William Wells 27 George is Married

Thank you one and all for the response-I think I will have to get certs for this one!! One last pointer is that their was a George Munroe that was born in Aberdeen and appeared on 1861 census in Liverpool, perhaps staying there for a few years before moving south before the next census??? Regards Brian

Brian I can't find them on the 1861 England or Scotland census. You might need to either ask someone for a Scottish birth look up for George or order the B/C for James. Then you'll have mums maiden name to them look for their marriage and then work back some more Julie

Hi Julie Many thanks foryour reply- I am In the process of sending for a marriage cert now, I believe his fathers name also to be George Munro(e) Thanks for the info so far Regards Brian
