Thank you, thank you!

Helen

Good idea Claire, will do.

Ozi.

Ozi think you'd better send Helen a pm refering her back to this thread. As she added to such an old thread, the chances are she's unfamiliar with how the boards run.

Can't find any of them in 1871 yet.

Looking for information on **John ERSKINE b.1845 ** @ Leith Scot / Berwick on Tweed Nthland Eng. He is father of John b.1875 Berwick Upon Tweed, Scot. His father was b.c1822.
Can anyone tell me his ** parents or family line around him - brothers, sisters, etc.?
We are his direct line - John Erskine b. 1915, son of John b.1875, son of John b.1845 ...
From the information above (John Erskine c1845 Leith, Scot Head 23 Woolmarket, Berwick Upon Tweed, Northumberland, Eng. ) we seem to be getting close.
John b.1915 turns 93 this week and we would love to be able to tell him more about his folk. In anticipation, Thank you, Helen
