Trying to locate any info for William Mcdonald Irving (born 1869). (My Great Grandfather) I have found William as an Adulton the 1891 census says born in Scotland. 1901 says born Liverpool. was he born in Liverpool and brought up in Scotland? This i cannot find. IGI I find a William Mcdonald Irving with father robert and mother elizabeth baptised Saint Peter Liverpool How do I find out whether there is anymore info from this baptism ie. mothers maiden name. (I know his father if robert because I have his marriage certificate I cannot find him on any censuses as a child. Where does he disappear to? Does anybody have a William with robert and elizabeth as parents. There is a family in cumbria but this is not them because he as a middle name of bragg not Mcdonald. I am totally stopped and going round in circles. Can anybody help me |

You need to buy some certificates at £7 each from GRO online otherwise you could be following the wrong line. |

Thanks for that Dave. I did find this but my head is going round I could not figure out that it was his great aunt. Does this mean that Williams Grandad has a sister named Helen?? My head is in bits with all this due to the fact that there are 3 generations of William with the same name. I am getting totally confused |

If only it was so simple. GRO have no record of his birth neither do Scotland. This is why i seem to be at a stand still. |

I think you need to go back to what you have as FACT..start with yourself...your parents etc..confirm everything with certificates. |

Thanks for that. I have certificates going back to William but the problem is that GRO have no record of Williams birth. I have Williams marriage certificate and is says his father is Robert. I do not see them on any censuses prior to 1891. I find on IGI a baptism record of William Mcdonald Irving Saint Peter Liverpool which lists a mother as Elizabeth. Could this be him I do not know? Any advice on how to find out about baptism records |
