Susan: thank you for the web address, I will be adding my elusive uncle Norman Boyd Scott Stewart to the list shortly. Fingers crossed somebody can find him for me. |

Many thanks Zoe, but I think as she has never been in touch with these people and they probably dont know of her existance she wants to be a bit low key. Very kind of everyone trying to help. What a lovely lot you are. |

Heather The Daily Record does a 'searching' column once a week (off the top of my head I cant remember which day) which sells nationwide. She could also try letters to local papers in Perth asking if they'd run the same kind of request. If you need me to I can hunt down which papers would cover that area Zoe |

Many thanks Sue, I will give that to her aswell. She is feeling rather alone in the world now and it must be difficult knowing you have kin out there. |

Many thanks for your kind offer Ellen - I have emailed the details she was able to give me. Unfortunately this was her fathers first marriage and apparently their were three children and she knows the names of two. I understand the wife ran off and her father never spoke about them. |

Heather Scotlandspeople has marraiges up to 1954, so if you have the fathers name, and birthdate/year and place of birth if poss, with likely place of marraige you might be lucky. Post the details if you have them, and I'll have a look for you. Ellen. |

Could any one please advise me on this. A friend is desperately trying to find two half brothers she believes were last in Perth. Her only other sibling has died. I have told her to try to get hold of her fathers marriage cert to the other lady (whose name she doesnt know). The marriage would have been about 1953 in Scotland. Can anyone tell me how I can help her find the cert for the marriage or birth cert for these two men who will be in their late forties. She feels she should at least have the information re their mother before she attempts to contact them. She does have a list of possibles from the electoral register. |
