I've sent details to Sharon re Robert , his siblings births, his parents marriage and their births and their parnets marriages as well. Do not waste credits as I have already given these details. Save the credits for anything else folks.

This was the only marriage that came up for a Robert Ross and Mary Ferguson

1 1881 ROSS ROBERT FERGUSON MARY HOLYTOWN /LANARK 625/02 0033 VIEW (5 CREDITS) ORDER

Robert Ross's snr occupation on the marriage cert was skale miner

I do not have enough credtis left to view the image to do a cross check sorry

This could be her parents marriage
1892 DAVIE ROBERT LOVE MARY UPHALL /WEST LOTHIAN 672/00 0030 VIEW (5 CREDITS

It is difficult to read the maiden name on the above marriage cert but it could say Love

Have a feeling this could be Roberts parents marriage if not its one hell of a coincidence
3 September 1915 in Broxburn
William Ross and Bessie Davie he was 32 she was 22
parents are him Robert Ross and Mary Ross m/s Ferguson
her Robert and Mary Davie but I cannot read maiden name
marriage was regsitered in district of Uphall which is right next door to Broxburn infact its hard to tell wher one stops and the other starts

I've sent you all the info in a PM

Tom

Tombul, Yes that sounds right i will most probably have to find & buy the certificates for roberts siblings in order to find any possible living relatives from 1908 till now. Unfortunately i do not have any information about his immediate family ie his mother/fathers/grandparents etc so i cannot yet begin to search the census for his relatves or figure out which certificates i should purchase .
I have quite a bit of information on my gran Ethel Ward Halliday, her father was killed in accident in 1932 so from there i have managed to work my way backwards & gather parents/grandparents. This is who i have been searching for in the census, the Halliday children as i have a few generations of parents & missing lots of children.
If I knew Roberts parents names then i would hopefully be able to look up thier birth dates & find his ancesters from there. I hope this makes sense Sharon.
Ps... Robert was in the army when he married my gran.

Robert was born in 1916 and his parents were married in 1915. I presume any of Robert's siblings would be born after that date. Therefore they will not appear in the census until 1921 which will not be available until 2021.

Is it Robert's father's siblings you are hoping to find from the census?

Sharon,For siblings up to 1875 try the Hughwallis site .Must know from census what area to look

Thats great thanx. I will now be able to find the children from the census & work out thier year of birth & search for them on the register to fill in my gaps that should keep me busy tree building till i get the details for my grandads side.
It all gets a bit confusing but so worth it.

Full details of births in Scotlandspeople stops around 1907.You would have to visit New Register House ,Edinburgh.to find later siblings

Sharon "Do" is the abbreviation for Ditto. It means that the surname is the same as the person above i.e

John Smith
Jane Do
Robert Do

would all have the same surname as John - they would all be Smiths.

Thank you again, I will post the details when i receive the certificates.

I have been lucky enough to find my late grandmothers family as far back as around 1820 only missing the siblings.

I have been searching the census for her family members to find children & there seems to be a lot of do's ie janet do? in the lists of names is this an old form of " " . Im not sure if im being thick or if Do was a common surname or does this mean surname unknown.

Apprecciate you expertise, family history is so interesting & addictive!

Sharon

Post the details from his birth certificate, when you get it. If you don't have a sub for ancestry, someone will look for his parent's families for you on the 1901 census. That narrows the year and place of birth for you to get certificates from Scotlandspeople. His birth certificate will give you the date and place of his parents marriage which you can then look up on Scotlandspeople. Again if you post all the details you can please if you need census look ups.

Hi & thank you for your quick response.
Yes i am looking for Roberts parents & siblings, My gran was Ethel Ward Halliday 22/4/1925 - 30/11/2009. I was told they were maried in 1946 but when i searched it turned up 1945?
They had 4 children all with surname Ross (still living)

Christina T T - 7/3/47
George S - 28/7/49
Frank M - 30/6/1954 - apparantly is not my grandfathers son would be interesting to see who is on the birth certificate?
Gordon - 10/12/1956

Really apprecciate your time Kind regards Sharon

I found the birth certificate for Robert Tweedie Davie Ross but cannot find a marriage for him. What was the name of his Spouse? Did they have any children in Scotland as their certificaytes will give me a date and place of marriage?

I can access all the records if you get me the information. Is it Roberts parents and siblings that you are looking for/

Robert Twedie Davie Ross 1916-1987 Birth registered Uphall, W-Lothian. I am awaiting the birth & maraige cert for him & my gran who married in 1945 st Giles Edinburgh, i have came to a dead end trying to trace his parents & siblings. I have credits to search on scotlandspeople but there are so many to try & guess what thier names & births were. Would apprecciate any information that may help link them. Thanx
