Find Ancestors

Hello Mary, Thank you - Yes, that's my granny (the young Elizabeth). But Rachel is a mystery. She is not on '81 (and now '91) censuses - in fact the only sign of her is on a gravestone - she and baby Hector both died in 1893. I suppose it's possible she was in a sanitorium if she was ill. Thank you for the info you found anyway, Best wishes, Gordon.

FOR GORDON FOUND THIS Hector Douglas General Labourer age 35 born Ireland Elizabeth Wife Age 37? born Ireland Elizabeth Daughter born Glasgow age 11 Hugh Son age 4 born Glasgow Hector son age 1 born Glasgow Maybe your Rachel was the oldest as you say thinking she was 14 she may wll have been in service at that time Hope this helps Mary Would be interested to know if these are yours

Hello Mary, Wonder if a Rachel Douglas shows on the 1891 census, probably living with parents Hector and Elizabeth possibly in Glasgow's Claremont Street, Finnieston or somewhere in Anderston or Kelvin districts. Reason for asking is to find out if she was older than her sister Elizabeth (Lizzie) - the two girls will be around 11-14 years old - and where she was born, Ireland or Scotland. If running out of credits, don't worry, Mary, I'll be going on to Scotlandspeople myself again soon when I get my queries in order of priority :) Best wishes, Gordon.

FOR HILLARY JARMAN Hi just sent you a direct message about your Kerrs Mary

Hi Mary, never thought of that. Thanks, Hilary.

FOR HILARY JARMAN Hi I have been searching Scotlands people for two years and found a lot of ladies in my family that married straight after husbands died. Do you think maybe she had been married before. most of the certs give the first married name and only on births and deaths gives original Maiden name Mary worth a thought

Hi Mary, me again, do you know what it tells you on their death records on Scotlands People. If you have any spare credits left could you look up Alexander's (Kerr) death about 1877, probably in Dalkeith. I think it tells you mother & father's names. Many thanks, Hilary.

FOR ROSYLAN Found This DEATH John Thomson, Occ Retired Crofter Widower Wife Catherine Renny, Died 1908 4th August Kinell Father Hames Thomson, (Occ Crofter) and Mother Isabella Crofter Maiden Surname Croall? (not sure on that) Witnessed by William Thomson Nephew. Have saved the image if you thimk this might be him if you send me your Email address direct I will try and send on but please give me a few days as working loads at mo Mary

Hi Mary, thanks for that, keep coming up with her. Bit confusing 2 Hilary's, not many of us. Thanks again, Hilary

In 1891 it says Farmer. Rosalyn

FOR ROSALYN do you know what John Thomsons occupation was have found a couple that might be interesting, but still looking at deaths MRY

For Hilary Shirref Hi had a look William Trotter Born 22nd June 1860 at 8.30 am in Coldstream. Illiegitamate. Mother Isabell Trotter, Occ Farm Worker Hope this helps

Thanks for helping -yes in 1891 they were in KINNELL. They had 2 or 3 children -ANN -my great , great great grandmother, her twin -don`t know the name and MARGARET. Rosalyn

for Hilary Jarman sorry did not realise there were two Hilary on requests. for you KERR. could only find one Alexander Kerr born 1807 nothing close with father William but this one was Alexander Kerr born 22 May 1801 Father William Kerr Mother Margaret Selkrig

Rosalyn were they still living in angus on the 1891 and did they have any children

For Hilary Hi have found one William Trotter born Coldstream do you know his parents names because it costs 5 credits to look at cert if I have parents names and they are right I can download it an maybe send it to you Mary

Hi Hilary Not sure if Berwickshire is included in Scotlands People Site but will check for you Mary

Hi Mary, this is a long shot as I have been searching for ages to get back. I am looking for an Alexander Kerr but don't know where he was born. He was born about 1807. Father William Kerr & mother Margaret Fleming. Will understand if not enough info but many thanks for offer. Regards Hilary.

Could you look for 2 deaths please KATHERINE OR CATHERINE THOMSON (maiden name RENNY or RENNIE) and husband JOHN THOMSON . KATHERINE was born 1817 in KINNELL, ANGUS JOHN was born 1824 in FARNEL ,ANGUS. They were married in 1847. I have them on 1891 census so were still alive then so I guess they died between 1891-1901. Thank you, Rosalyn

Can do a search on scotlands people for the next couple of hours got about 90 credits and no one to search for. Please give as much info as possible ie name age district. cant do spread searches for names with no following info it takes up all credits and sometimes there can be up to 20 to 30 people of the same name throuought Scotland.
