Many thanks Mhairi for lookup, much appreciated

Tom

If you read the FIRST message on this thread Mhairi is saying that this thread is now closed!
IE she can't do any more look ups at the moment!

Mhairi,

Thank you so much - my wife has asked me to say thanks too as it is for her family tree. Sadly, this July, we attended the funeral in Edinburgh of the informant you found - E B Rennie (who's my wife's aunt).

Your kindness is much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Carl

Great stuff, thanks again.

I thought i'd add this

www.thesft.moonfruit.com

If you have Scottish ancestors, the above website (a taster website really), is a great place to be.

Come and join the forum, there are a very friendly bunch of people just waiting to help...the forum is free as well :) Great news for anyone with Scots blood running through their veins :p

Before anyone asks, i dont own it/run it. I am a member (with a less glamorous title) and just think its a great site. I know plenty of people who'll agree with me.

Mhairi

Mhaira,

Many thanks for the Information, It's very good of you and greatly appreciated.

Maurice

Thanks Mhairi - your help has been invaluable and I so appreciate the info you were able to get to fill in the missing gaps.

Thanks again.

Margaret

Parents as you stated unless i state different :)

Nicola

the number with the / through it is the RN number and the other is the entry number.

Hope that makes sense
Mhairi

Mhairi

Have just been looking at form su 3 to order certificates - how do the numbers you gave fit in to the form? There are spaces for RD number, year and entry number.

Nicki

Mhari,

Those two look like what I needed. Did you manage to note the parents (I have assumed because you haven't said otherwise, that they were those I expected as per my request, but just wanted to be sure)?

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Mhairi,

Thanks very much for the information you looked up in Edinburgh, really appreciate it!!

Betty

Thanks Mhairi for finding James and George DONALDSON.

I appreciate all your help.

bye for now
Helen

Welcome back. Trying to find the deaths of Martin Coleman, born 1868 Perth. He married Julia Murray (nee Hinks) in Leith in 1895. Would like to know what became of her. Thank you for your help.

Mhairi

That is amazing. Thank you so much.

Nicki

Kerry i didnt see your reply until just now. Techincally the thread was closed when you added to it but i'll be going again. Watch out for the thread at the end of the month.

To everyone who asked, my little cousin was fine. Actually he behaved better than he usually does so he must have been sick. I hate looking after people who are vomiting though, i just cant stand it. Yuck!

He is blond, blue eyed with these really big eye lashes and looks as if butter wouldnt melt in his mouth...huh! All i can say is that looks can be deceptive. He also has an attitude that resembles a teenagers...oh and yesterday he told me i smelt funny...lovely child!

Anywho, thanks for being patient!
Mhairi

The system was asking really slowly today (they are doing something to it) so i didnt get as much done as i usually do.

The first letter is a F. So i think it might be Founes? Perhaps?

I would have loved to have printed of the cert for you but restrictions apply and you can only print out births up to 1906. If you wanted a copy you would have to get in touch with the GROS or your local records office. The birth was on the 16th of May 1914.

I looked for the birth of a child but couldnt see one in the area where Annie died and there where too many to search through. Hopefully, in the future, they will up date their databases and you'll be able to see the mothers maiden name as well. They already have it for post 1930 births and it cuts searching time.



Silver

Way too many Mary's to search through and i couldnt find them in the census (1891 and 1901) to help narrow down the areas incase she was born pre 1901.

Couldnt find any of them i'm afraid, mainly cause i dont know what the registration districts in Airdrie area. If you leave this one with me, i'll look them up when i'm back again the end of the month or the beginning of November.

I got two! Funny thing was, i thought Francis would have been the easiest one to find!

Hi Mhairi

If you haven't got too many requests already, would you be able to please check for the death certificates of my grandparents and their son?

I'd love to go myself but I live quite far from home now and there's very little chance of me ever being back to check.

Edward Cairns Munro - DoB 04/01/1920 - born Queensferry - parents William Munro & Beatrice Cairns - died approx April 2000 in Lochgelly - not sure on cause of death - he was a widower at the time as my grandmother (below) died before him

Christina McAngus Sutherland - married name Munro - DoB 29/09/1921 - born Crossgates, Dunfermline - parents David Sutherland and Margaret McAngus - died approx 1998 in Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy - had stomach cancer so cause of death related

They were married on 01/02/1951 in Dunfermline, though I don't suppose that is relevant for the search. My mother (Christina McAngus Sutherland Munro - married name Robson, other names Davis) might have been the person listed as notifying of the death on my grandmothers certificate.

Son is David and I have very little info about him except that he was born in the early 1950's, was killed in an accident when a pallet fell off the back of a lorry and crushed him, he was a teenager at the time and he lived in North Street, Lochgelly when it occurred.

Would be so much easier if you could get these certificates online but I guess they're too recent :(

Thank you in advance for your help

PS - hope your little cousin is better :)

Hope your cousin is feeling better. Born early 1900's I'm sure my Scottish cousins will wait a week.
