Member Since: August 2005 Posts: 13 Send Message	My husbands family are proving impossible to track down. I have a birth certificate for a daughter and a marriage certificate for the parents but neither document has given me enough information to track them down. They are not on the 1901 census at all - none of them, even though I know at least 4 of them were around. I believe the father was in the army but my husband was always led to believe he was in the Blackwatch, his wedding certifictae says Irish Fusiliers and his daughters birth certificate says Scotch Fusiliers. Anyone got any ideas what I can do to find them? Nadine
