Hi Maria

There are of course two sides to every argument and thread deletion is no different.

1. You can delete your thread having extracted all that you require from the helpful people here who offer their services free of charge, while contributing little in return....................

OR

2. You can leave the thread containing all the hard work of the helpful people here who offer their services free of charge, thereby allowing others to use that information to advance their trees and even better understand the inner workings of these sites.

If we deleted all of our threads there would not be very much here to look through.
P.S Just posted this reply on another thread.

Now, Maria, ask me whether I care. What an all-round appalling disregard for other people.

Yes, Janey, I do read.
And I've read your posts, so I'm aware I followed your post of the same nature.
I added mine because I thought perhaps Maria hadn't understood, rather than ignored you.
Also, by adding, I wanted to nudge it to the top so she might see it.
Also, I thought another, similar post might stress the point to her that a duplicate thread simply invites people to duplicate look-ups.
That's all.

P.S. I thought your last posting was a tad on the sharp side, if you don't mind me saying.

JaneyCanuck
If you read back you will see that I did thankyou.You then became very rude so I decided to ignore you.

By the way, I must say how very welcome you are that I went out of my way to search for and find a thread in which I had read posts from Thomas saying that he has easy access to Scottish records (a different person from Tom, I assume) and send him a private message asking that he take a look at your thread.

He has been off work sick this week, but told me he would have a look when he returned. For all you know, he will be able to find more info for you, but if you delete the threads he will have wasted his time and you will be none the wiser for his efforts.

Maria, deleting threads is really quite pointless.

There is information in the threads that may be useful if you have further searches. Or who knows, someone else might search one day and find info, and find you.

There is simply no reason to delete a thread, other than if duplicates are posted, when they should be removed BEFORE people waste time.

Thankyou Karen and Suzi ,Tom has very kindly answered my call for help.I will delete my threads after you have all had a chance to read my replys.
It was lovely to return from work and read Toms answer.
All the best Maria

Nobody reads!! ;)

Karen, I said exactly that just before you.

I had also pointed out in the other thread some time ago that it was a duplicate, to save people duplicating effort, and asked that Maria delete it.

The person who posted in that thread ignored the info I gave. Of course, if Maria had done as requested and deleted the duplicate, the problem would not have arisen.

I asked by private message that Thomas, in this thread, who has access to records, do a search for Maria.

I would be very unhappy if I set Thomas a task on Maria's behalf that ended up wasting his time. I'm not that inconsiderate, myself.

Just a little additional ......if you check the birth of the person whose parents' marriage you are looking for....it will say on the Scottish cert of birth when and where the parents were married.

Maria,
Someone has answered you with information about the marriage, it's on your duplicate thread over on Tips Board.
You might like to consider deleting one of your threads, otherwise people could be doubling up, unknowingly, with the same information.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

Hope you didn't spend a lot of time, Thomas, after I asked you to have a look.

Despite my request that Margaret delete her duplicate thread, and suggestion that the discussion be continued in this one, someone has now posted the marriage info in that thread.

Oh well, just other people's time ...

I will search the records some time at work tomorrow, if I have time, and post the reply. Shouldn't take too long

Hi
I live in Edinburgh , If there is anything I can do just let me know..

Jules x

Thankyou very much.I have had some offers from some kind members to do look ups on my behalf.Thankyou all so much.x

I've sent a PM to a GR member whose posts I've read in other threads who might have access to some of the records in question, or at least be able to explain a bit more about them.

Thankyou all so much for your advice I am very grateful to you all.
Maria

If you are in Scotland you could go to your local register office they will search for you ....At mine this costs £10 for one hour in this time they will search as many records as they can.

hi i have looked for death cert n child birth certificates for you on scotlands people, however due to the year of these , i am unable to view the extract - can only be viewed if you were to purchase the extract -it costs £10.00, the childs birth certificate will show parents names and a date of marriage will also show ( it does on all of mine).

While marriages are searchable at ScotlandsPeople only to 1933, deaths are searchable to 2006.

Do you know when Margaret and/or James died?

If you can find their death records, they should contain information like parents' names.

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Free to register and search, and then if you get a result that you want to see details for, you have to buy credits.

I have put this on tips board and it was suggested that if i re posted someone may be able to look up the infomation im looking for. I would be very grateful for any help Thankyou.
