Hi Melanie

Thanks for the offer. If you are able could you please do a search for birth of Sarah Craig (also known as Susan) - her marriage cert in 1950 (after her move to London) has her father as John Thomas Craig, occupation shoe maker. Her age is listed as 22 so born circa 1928. Believe she was born Glasgow area.

Cheers

Dennis

I am assuming he must have died as a baby.

and

Hi Melanie

It's very kind of you to offer your services.

If possible could you look up the Marriage of an Archibald Blackwood to a Mary Hay Roberts on the 27th January 1888 I am interested in the parents of both of these people as I believe I am directly related to them. I do have rather an old copy of the certificate but much of it is illegible. Any info you could get would be invaluable to me.

Thanks

Edward William Blackwood (Billy)

Hi Melanie. If it is not too late to take up your kind offer is it possible to look up a birth for William Munro abt 1849. I have a marriage record of his father Robert Munro to Bathia Murray in Old Macchar Aberdeen, only the marriage took place in 1853. Robert has 3 other children born in scotland on the english census James 1852/3 Hellen 1855 Isabella 1856. It is possible therefor Robert may have been married before. Allthough i believe the marriage and census records are correct the 1849 birth for Wlliam is baffling me. Thank You if you for any help. Best Wishes Maurice.

I suspect you have way more than enough look-ups for one day but just in case....I have a William Barton Irving born Tinwald,Dumfriesshire 19-7-1830 according to family bible.His mother was an Agnes Barton ,father? Irving.He may have been illegitemate.I'd be grateful if you could see whether there is any OPR record of the birth or his marriage 22-6-1854 in Lochmaben to a Margaret Ross.
Many thanks,
