Then Colette please go back and rewrite your thread...

You have clearly stated you do not know the date of the wedding..."married thomas taylor either 1897 or 1899"

and you state you cannot find the marriage...."i cant find a martha mclean i can find a margaret mclean married to thomas taylor "

You have the birth cert and have the year wrong...."child jane waldie cairns mclean taylor born 1901"

The marriage you have found is it for the 30th April 1897??

What is largely obvious is that they were married in 1897 and Jane was born in 1900, so they will all appear on the Scottish census of 1901, have you found them there?

Tracey

i have her parents marraige in 1897 but cant find any info on there parents

she was born around 1901 she was married 1923 and she was 22 years old when she was married he name is jane waldie cairns mclean taylor
thanx for your help i wld like 2 give the tree 2 my gran for her birthday

Colette

Her parents marriage is clearly stated on her birth cert...!!!!

30 April 1897..... how can you miss that??

Tracey

right Jane was born in 1900.... not 1901...

looking at the cert now...

I cannot find Jane's birth??

Where was Jane born?

i dnt think i have full cert bit it has there names there parents names and the witnesses that were there when they married my mum said martha cnt be short for margaret but how can i find info on margaret and not martha
thanx colette

it should list the date of her parents marriage on her cert...

I'll go and take a look...

Tracey

hi i have been there and cnt find anything and on jane's marraige cert it has her name as martha mclean but i just cant find anything on a martha mclean thanx

Colette

goto www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

you will be able to find all you need there.... if you try and find the childrens births, you can download their cert immediately and on it will be the date of the parents marriage (this will cut the search down for you) and will also list the parents full names (inc the mother)

Good Luck

Tracey
