Could anyone please tell me how i can find if my grandad had any brothers or sisters please as i dont know how to go about it.Details are very limited and i am having big problems trying to find any of his relatives .My grandad was Patrick James Boyle born 1908 in Glasgow but i dont have a month,he was married to Mary Ann Kilkie on the 12th of April at St Francis"s Church Gorbals Glasgow in 1935 and died at 10 1/2 Eglinton Lane Gorbals Glasgow on the 25/26 May 1946.His parents were Francis Boyle born around 1885 and died around 1950 in Glasgow and Rose Montford born around 1885 and died around 1950 in Glasgow.This is all that is known of them and my search cant go any further so any advice would be great.My E mail is [email protected] from Tommy Boyle.

Hi Tommy
You need to go to Scotlands People site.
This is the official GRO for Scotland.
If you type in Scotlands People on your curser bar and click search, it will bring up there official site.
It is a pay to view site at £6 for 30 credits.
You can order certificates on line but you have to pay for them.
Hope this helps you?

Doesn't look like they were married by 1901 so it's hard to help.

Tom,
That's a question. What's the address for Francis on the marriage cert? What's his age?

Thomas dont discount Montford as the correct name. Spelling mistakes with names is not uncommon on birth and marriage records.

Rosey Montford living with John Montford in 1901 could be brother and sister.

This might explain why John Mountford/Montford was witness to Roseys wedding to Francis

There are 7 Montford names all born Ireland and are boarders mainly in Glasgow on the 1901 census

Rosey & Francis marriage cert should give both sets of parents names. What are they?

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 14 May 2008 10:26

Claire i couldn't find a marriage, this thread is really an extension of one Thomas already had going...

I think his parents and indeed Patrick himself was born in Ireland.... and i have already recommended Thomas jump on an Emerald Isle thread .... there are many of them. Thomas mentioned in a previous thread patrick spoke with an irish accent... altho i wouldn't rule out an English birth...but there def ins't one in Scotland that i could see....

Doesn't look like Thomas has taken my advice!!

Excellent
