Does anyone live in the Stenhousemuir area of Scotland who could do a Parish Search for me for 1889, William Douglas? The family lived at 1 Rae Street. I understand Falkirk County was called Larbert in those days. I have my Grandfather's date of birth as the 24th of January, October or December, 1889. He was married in London on June 15, 1915. I'm also interested in information concerning his brother THOMAS, but I have absolutely no birth/marriage/death information on him. Thanks, Linda
