Thank you so much ArygllyGran, shirlet I'm getting the hang of it and Erikah for all your help. You have found out so much information for me.

All the best

Jane

You have to register to search the site.
You can find out quite a lot free of charge, but if you want to see the image of an actual certificate or other document, either you use credits (£7.50 for 30), or for more recent BMD's you'd have to buy a copy of the cert ( £ 12).

Everything we found for you on this thread was from free basic searches.

Have fun!

Thanks AryllGran I will take a look. thank you for all your help

Details here of what's on SP:

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/what-records-are-in-the-site

As far as births/baptisms, marriages/banns, and deaths/burials are concerned, the earliest (church records) are about 1560, and the latest (statutory records) come right up to 2019.

Thanks ArgyllGan you have found out so much information for us. I am really grateful for all your help.
Can you Please tell us What years does Scotlands People cover and what records do they have so we can research it further ourselves.

Births of Dorothy's siblings, at least as far as shown in 1911.

There are lots of other Mackies born in Glenmuick - but no way of knowing if they're James & Mary's children without paying to see the birth certs.
They can't all be their children.

Unfortunately, the mother's maiden surname can't be used as a search term for such recent births, so no way to narrow the results down.

Thanks for updating that information for me. We really appriciate all this help.

I've edited my earlier post showing the 1911 census entries.

James was indeed with them - I had somehow been searching for females only - hadn't meant to do that!

He was living at 22 Yedder Road Aberdeen in 1947. This was on Dorothy's death cert in1947. She was living at 59 Polwis terrace aberdeen.

Thanks for that ArgyllGran. I have no idea who Joseph is. Perhaps he is Jame's dad?

Jane

In 1905 valuation Roll, there's a Joseph Mackie at 27 Baker Street, where the family were living in 1901:

No electoral rolls on SP, I'm afraid.

There are Valuation Rolls at 5 or 10 yearly intervals, 1855 to 1935.
However, they only show the name of the householder, and both James Mackie and Mary Mackie are very common names.

Thanks again ArgyllGran

I think we will have to buy some credits. If this is the information you can get on there it will be really helpful to us. Thank you

Jane
