Hi June

Had problem with computer so sent you a response via your mail, I have all the relevant certificates but on all of them family members are witnesses, each time christian names and surnames change, the only consistant thing about them is my g grandmothers father is listed as a shoemaker dating back to the marriage of gg grandfather in Scotland, it is so confusing with all the name variants, William - Lewis. Jane to Jean and Locheran, Cocheran, Loughley to Lochrie.

Thanks Angela x

My g grandmother Janet Locheran, married 1878 aged 18 to George Jackson in Middlesbrough on her marriage certificate her father is listed as Lewis Locheran (shoemaker), I cannot find a census search for either Janet or Lewis Locheran. A kind member found a listing in 1861 for a Janet Loughrey bn Newcastle but her father is listed as William (shoemaker), his wife Jane and various other siblings all bn Scotland. I have ordered Janets birth certificate and the parents are shown to be William Loughery and Jane Loughery nee Cairns. I have searched Scotlands BMD and found banns posted for a William Lochrie and Jean Cairns in 1843. What are the chances that these are the people that I am looking for.
