Suzanne,

Try on Scotlandpeople for a death of either John or Helen.or a marriage for one of the children these will fall in the civil registration era ,,,,,any of these entries will give the maiden name of Helen.......but its a pay per view site so credits have to be bought,

hi glitter,
thank you for that,i thought marriage between 1841-42,but looking at that i think maybe earlier,i really need to know helens maiden name,
the name margaret findley really makes me happy,ive been trying to find a connection between the DAVIDSONS,MCDONALDS and FINDLEYS,ie looked on ancestry at these censeses less than an hour ago and didnt see margaret findley. thank you so much for taking the time to look them up for me,very interesting.x :-)

Possible marriage in 1839 on familyseearch to HELEN HEARTHILL

If any children born after 1855 then the birth certs gives more detail than English ones

Civil Registration began in Scotland in 1855

So at best you would be looking at old parish registers on SP

Have you tried familysearch website ?
