Many thanks for everyones quick replies.
The problem I have been having is finding records of my grandfather.
I have found him in the 1901 census which gives his DOB as 1876 and place of birth as Ashington Durham Staindrop which doesn't make sense. However I know from other family members that the family came from Staindrop, yet I cannot find any record of John Wilson with these birth details.
Does this mean I should try other web sites for additional records.
Thanks in anticipation.

Where are the Parish records?

You’ll find the Parish Records under the ‘Births, Marriages & Deaths’ link on the left hand side of the dropdown ‘Search’ menu.

Parish Baptisms can be found under the ‘Birth and Baptism’ category on the left hand side of the page, Parish Burials under ‘Deaths and Burials’ and Parish Marriages under ‘Marriages and Divorces’. Clicking on the relevant link will give you a list of all the records we have for that record set.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I am new to this website and am finding navigating around very difficult.
Could anyone please tell me the email address for the support team, and also whether parish records are in a separate section(I paid extra on my subscription for parish records).

Thanks in anticipation.
