Hi,

Thanks to eeveryone for all your help and advice, I see you noticed that I tried to cover all the bases on other boards lol :-D Sorry for all the confusion :-S :-S :-S :-S der what can I say im new I will learn where to write to people and where to thank people.
If I write in the wrong place just tell me or move it, (probabably best to move it cos it would take forever fvor me to work out how to, Ive a tough skin just dont shout ha ha

THANKS AGAIN Jackie



PS I am noticing that Lancashire seem to have a lot more records than anywhere else ???????? and a good job too cos im comming for them :-0 <3 <3

There is no marriage of a James Simpson to a Darling in Scotland so I think John's birth certificate would be needed.

if you want to go further back with the Scottish line, you will need to use the scotlandspeople website. It is pay-to-view site not a subscription site but very reasonable and you can download images of original BMD parish record entries. Scottish BMDs give quite a lot of info.

"Sandy" I would think referred to an Alexander (or possibly hair colour!)

There is a marriage in 1938 in Lancaster giving Mary's surname as Johnson and a possible child to this couple called James born in 1938.

Have you tried Search Trees on this site?

If you find a possible match you can contact the tree owner to see if you have a connection.

Hi,

Can anyone help me I'm going very slow searching :-S I am looking for my family living or dead, just for the purpose of knowledge dont worry I dont want anything apart from info.

Her's what I do know...
John Thomson Simpson born Scotland 09/04/1914
moved to Lancaster and married Mary.
His parents James Simpson ( journeyman/Tailor) and Annie Darling (not sure if Darling is maiden name or middle name) lived and died in Scotland
I believe it to be the Edinburgh side, I know the name Castorphine from my childhood but no more.

I should know more I used to visit Scotland as a small child, however I do remember the name Sandy.

If any of this means anything to anyone, I would be really grateful if you would contact me.

Kind Regards Jackie <3
