Find Ancestors

I am able to do some look ups as, after I paid for a bunch of credits, my scottish ancestors have turned out to be catholics and don't appear on this website. Please post details on this thread - no emails and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Also, if anyone knows a good way to access catholic records for Dumfries c. 1800-1870 from a distance, I would be very grateful. Louise

Hi Loise, Thankyou for your offer. I am looking for the death of Alexander McAulay in the county of Lanark. He was born about 1856. Regards Shona

Hi Shona, Any idea when he died? There are several hundred possibles! Louise

Hi Louise possibly around 1935

hello and thank you, looking for John M. Brown born scotland 1829 (probably not enough info. but that is all i have per a census), or Ellen Sophia Larkins 1826 please Jennifer

Shona, Does this look any good? He was the only one about the right age dying between 1920 and 1950. I have enough credits to download the image if you think it's a match. Louise 1931 MCAULEY ALEXANDER M 76 GARNGADHILL LANARK 644/05 0415
