Hi again Mhairi, Thank you for your prompt reply. I really meant Alex's parents and grand parents. Also, Alex and Yvonne were divorced in 1953 and Alex remarried a lady called Olive (surname unknown). Alex's daughter Madeline is currently married and living in California. Yvonne re-married in St. Giles Register Office in Edinburgh on 2nd October, 1953. This is about the sum total of all the facts I have. I am doing all this research on behalf of Madeline to provide a comprehensive tree for her and her beautiful grand children. Thank you once again for your offer of help and the best of luck with your own research. With best regards John Jackman

Hi Mhairi Very kind of you to offer. I'm trying to trace the forbears of one Alexander Kennedy DAVIS born either Edinburgh or Bathgate in 1922. Alexander is now deceased but served with the Argyll's in World War 2, married an Yvonne Pina in Vienna in 1946 and returned to Edinburgh to become a City Councillor residing in Thistle Place which is off Viewforth (running down from Bruntsfield to the canal). Alexander's mother was nee Jimieson or Jamieson and I believe his father was a Polish immigrant who set up as a bespoke tailor in Edinburgh - his Polish surname is unknown but obviously he took the name of David DAVIS. Alex and Yvonne had one daughter Madeline Patricia Caroline DAVIS born in Edinburgh in 1948. Any relevant BMD's would be most welcome. With kind regards John Jackman

Dawn has had no luck with them .They are a nightmare. Could you please check births for these for me . John Hill 1887 Blantyre parents John Hill -Agnes Mclachlan Jane Hill 1895 Blantyre parents Isabella Thomson Wilson -Charles Hill Cath

Taking a trip to the Edinburgh Records office next wednesday (30th Nov) and was wondering if anyone would like me to do a look up for them? BMD's 1855 to 2005. I will not do blanket searches. Please try and include as much information as possible. Bear in mind i might not get round to your search this time (my priority being my own family) but if not i'm planning another trip in January. So, any takers? Mhairi
