So where did Rebecca marry?

If Scotland then her marriage cert would give both names of parents

Or English cert would give the name of her father

Yes this could be the same person...Thanks

Craig, maybe you could tell us where your info comes from.

You said she was born about 1850, and I (and I am sure several other people)have been looking for any trace of such a person.

Now you say that the Rebecca Brunton born about 1865 could be her? That's a whopping big difference. What made you say 1850?

Why don't you just go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, but the minimum credits, and find her marriage, and then view the record to see who her parents were? It should say how old she was, too. *Then* it might be possible to find her in the censuses.

Assuming and hoping you're right about who she married!

If you are sure about that -- do you know the names / birthdate of any of her children? That way, it would likely be possible to find her in 1901 at least with her husband and children, to see what it says about when and where she was born.

Yes i will give it a try as you can probabily see i am new to all this and dont really know what direction to go in.
Thanks

The only people in the Scottish censuses who show with birthplace Greengairs are a family living in New Monkland in one census. So it must be close by.

So the person GB has found -- who would be the birth Ann of GG posted with parents Alexander and Agnes -- looks like a good bet. But you *need* her marriage certificate info.


ALEXANDER BRUNTON
Spouse: AGNES MUNRO
Marriage: 31 DEC 1863 Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Batch No.: M119341

This and the birth info Ann o' GG posted are from here:

which is free to search.

WILLIAM HUNT
Spouse: AGNES MUNRO
Marriage: 18 JUN 1869 Calton, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Batch No.: M119211

Yes, Craig, you've cleared up the questions I asked nicely, and we're glad to hear you will take advice and obtain her marriage certificate, and you are VERY WELCOME.
