Betty do you have a 'windows picture & fax viewer' on your computer? Georgina.

Betty I had a few credits left on scotlands people so I thought I would check for you. If I knew how to copy it I would send you a copy. Georgina.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hi Georgina, How did you find the marriage???? Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much. Betty

Betty I hope you are still about... Thomas Ferguson married Mary Carney 27 July 1903 at St Andrews Cathedral in Dundee. Thomas was 22 & Mary was 23. Thomas's parents were John Ferguson, Jute Mill Mechanic & Elizabeth Solomon (both parents were deceased) Marys parents were John Carney, Hairdresser & Mary Kennedy. Witnesses were John Ferguson & Mary Carney. They both gave the same address 9 Smalls Lane Dundee. Georgina.

Hi Georgina, I know about Irish rellies, been search my hubby's great, great grandfather from Ireland, still haven't found him but know he was fro Monaghan. I wasn' t counting on mine coming from Ireland too Betty

Betty when you get into the Irish rellies is when your trouble really starts. Georgina.

Woooooeeeeeeeeeeee My brother just phoned back again he remembers my gran's maiden name was Carnie or Carney. So I have Mary Carnie/Carney married Thomas Ferguson, thats my Gran and Grandfather!!! Bad news is he said my grandmothers parents came from Ireland, ohhhhoooooooooooooo. Betty

Hi Georgina, I will do that, I didn't know a search was so cheap, they may be able to do it by computers these days rather than search registers. Betty

Hi Everyone, Just phoned my older brother he remembers my grandparents names were Mary and Thomas Ferguson. Bad new is he doesn't remember when they married either. But he told me my mother had a brother called Thomas. Betty

Betty if you google 'GRO Edinburgh' click on the first page on the list. On the right hand side of the home page click 'family research' and they explain everything you need to do. I think they charge £5 for a 5 year search. Georgina.

Anyone know if I could do the above. Betty

Hi Everyone, Do you think the local registry office in Dundee would be able to do a search for my parents marriage in 1939. Then If I got that I would have their parents names, could I do that do you think? Betty

Hi Janice, Yes it does look that way, I have been trying every website I can so far but funny how I do remember the odd name here and there even although I was a kid about 5 years old, many years ago I may add.!!!! Betty

Hi Betty, Looks like you'll have to start right at the beginning then with your own birth cert. Is there any useful info on your mother's death cert? Janice

Hi Georgina, I don't have my birth certificate, my mother lost everything, don't have anything at all. I know there names but not anything like their dates of birth, marriage date, parents nothing. Everything went with my mother when she died. Betty

Hi Nell, I would need the date of my parents marraige to sent for certificate, I only know it was 1939. Betty

Were your parents born in Scotland? Don't Scottish certs show parents' names and marriage date?

Betty are your parents names on your birth certificate? Georgina.

Hi Nell, Thanks for helping here, yes but I can't get and records of my grandparents without at least their names and maybe dates of birth, marriage or something. Betty

Don't know the Scottish system, but is it possible to do a search in Edinburgh? Janice
