Buy some credits on ScotlandsPeople website.

£6 will get you 30 credits - one credit will let you view search results and a further 5 credits to view images.

Plenty of credits for you to get the marriage cert and then the parents birth certs.

Is this Andrew? It's the only one showing for the info you've given.

Hi Glitterbaby
Thanks for your reply, so from this can i assume that Helen Reilly was in a childs home, this has come as a bit of a surprise.

Samantha

Hi again
We're not sure if Matilda and Helen were ever related,
I have just found some paperwork that states that Helen Reilly lived with her Grandparents in 1891 at 136 Reid Street, Glasgow and again in 1901 grand father's name showing as Thomas.
Let me see if i can copy this for you.

here is abit more on the Reilly family but looks like Matilda is not Helens sister after all:
1901 Living at 136 Reid Street, Glasgow

Annie Reilly abt 1871 Coatbridge, Lanarkshire Daughter In Law Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire

Catherine Reilly abt 1830 Ireland Sons Wife Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire

Helen Reilly abt 1888 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Grand Daur (Granddaughter) Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire

Kate Reilly abt 1889 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Grand Daur (Granddaughter) Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire

Patrick Reilly (Engine keeper) abt 1861 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Son Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire

Thomas Reilly abt 1812 Ireland Head Glasgow Bridgeton Lanarkshire


1891 Living at 136 Reid Street, Glasgow

Helen Reilly abt 1888 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Grand - Daur (Granddaughter) Glasgow Barony Lanarkshire

Joseph Reilly (Calico print worker) abt 1872 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Son Glasgow Barony Lanarkshire

Patrick Reilly (Chemical labourer) abt 1861 Glasgow, Lanarkshire Son Glasgow Barony Lanarkshire

Thomas Reilly (Chemical labourer) abt 1827 Ireland Head Glasgow Barony Lanarkshire

Catherine Reilly abt 1828 Ireland Wife Glasgow Barony Lanarkshire

Is this the correct family or is it all wrong, looking at it the dates of some of the people do not seem to match from one census to the other.

Please help

This marriage is showing on scotlandspeople. You really should get one of the children's birth certificates to verify the parents.

No Year Surname (M) Forename (M) Surname (F) Forename (F) District City/County/MR GROS Data Image Extract
1 1893 DONNACHIE JAMES CONWAY ANNIE AIRDRIE OR NEW MONKLAND /LANARK 651/01 0004

It's the only one between 1888 and 1896 for a Donnachie marrying an annie in Lanark.

These are just possibles and a lot of research and credits spent on scotlandspeople will probably be necessary.

Hi
Im having a hard time trying to find any info on this lot, is there anyone who can tell me if i have a match with any of the above whatsoever.
Most greatful

Hey Samantha

I suggest you take the marriage of Andrew and Helen and work backwards from there. It'll give you both of their parents names then you can look for their births and their parents marriages.

You'll need to buy some credits on Scotlandspeople to do this and take a look at some certs. It'll be the only way to make sure everything is correct and that you've got the right line.

If you need any help using the Scotlandspeople website, let me know and I'll try to guide you through it.

Mhairi

That would be great if you dont mind i was looking at this site the other night as i do have a log in and password but just cannot seem to find my way around. The other problem that i have is that others have kindly looked for me and no-one has managed to find a marriage for Andrew Donachie or Donnachie to a Helen Reilly. But i do know that Andrews father was a funeral director in a small town in Scotland but as grandad has now passed away i cannot ask of any information.
Regards
Samantha

Maybe they didn't marry? Some of my relations lived together for years and had nine kids but never married for some reason. His death cert says he is single while hers has widow of...

I think the first cert you need to look at getting is Andrews death (if he died in Scotland). If you are certain he died in 1944 then it shoudn't be too difficult to find him.

Login to SP, get some credits (if you dont already have them) and click on the Deaths 1855 - 1957 in the bottom left.

It will bring up a screen. Put Don* in the surname box, Andrew in the first name box and set the years to 1944 and 1944. Nothing else.

Click search and it will come back telling you how many it has found matching the citeria. Click view, then ok when it tells you it will cost one credit.

View the possibles and click, View of the one you think is the proper one. It'll again tell you this will cost 5 credits are you sure.

The cert should then appear and you can decide whether it is your Andrew.

It will tell you who he was married to and who his parents where.

Is that any help?

Thanks for this information i will hvae a go at searching this tomorrow night as i have a small kitten running all over the laptop at the moment and im not getting anywhere fast.
Will let you know how i get on

Samantha

Ok scrap that cause I've just checked and there is no death in Scotland in 1944 for Andrew.
