Not much use to Helen if she doesn’t have any contact with her sister. She will have to buy them herself.

You might care to click on the poster's name on the other thread............ ;-) ;-)

As I said. Odd!

Per the 1932 marriage cert, William's parents were Andrew and Christina (nee Ormiston) who married in Newcraighall, Midlothian, in 1903.

6 credits on SP will let you see their parents' names, to go back another generation.


Andrew and family in 1911 census:

M

695/B 1/ 6

In same household:

Christina 28, Andrew 2, William 6, James 1, Mary Jane 4


Therefore, William's birth:

MONTGOMERY WILLIAM
mmn ORMISTON

1904
624 / 490
Blantyre {Lanarkshire ]

PLANTATION

Helen explains on the other thread that she is not Lexi and doesn’t know why her sister would have used a Helen’s name on the account.

Helen has also now changed her board name , presumably to avoid further confusion.

ADDED:
And name to which messages are sent (re ErikaH's post below)

It wasn’t the BOARD name which led to the’ confusion’

Let’s hope Helen looks at the info on here

Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. I have notes all your wonderful help and will look into it all and purchasing the marriage cert.
I have pm Lexi. As I am assuming it is my sister.

Hope you get the answers you're seeking
