so date of birth c1916?

James Peterson was a very popular name in Aberdeenshire!

Once you get back a bit Scotlandspeople is a great site. Births go up to 1906,marriages 1930,deaths 1956.
you can print off the images. ypou get a lot of details from them

could of been born 1922

Put down all the details you have.
I thought you said he was born abt 1954,maybe I picked it up wrong.

Sara... I have to go out this evening, but will see what I can do to help tomorrow afternoon/evening.

It may be that we can help you do a Tree for your Dads side back to the 1700's before Christmas,(you say you have already done a lot, back to 1821)

Then try to piece together your Mother's ready for her on Mothers Day.

Sara

I take it you are doing some of this by pm.

Not sure what details you have and what you are looking for.

hi sorry i just left like that but i had to do the school run and take the girls to their dance lesson and all the rest so am now back on line am trying to get in touch with an aunt who lives in the netherlands hopefully she will have more infor to go on

yes done a far bit on my dads side i would let you look at it but from here i dont know how to email u. If you email me 1st i can then email you back if that makes sence

I have requested access to your tree - if you click on allow in 'My Contacts' I will be able to see what you have already got..

I've just checked on Scotlands People. You can only access birth's from 1855-1906.

I will try tomorrow afternoon to put together what we know... I have been at a meeting this evening & do not seem to be able to get myself going on searches this evening.

Crougar & Marion, think we need to get Sara to sort out what they already know! or we may be searching in the wrong places... marriage could have been in Holland.

If you contact any registrar's office in scotland or use the contact details on Scotlandspeople site then they will send you the birth certificate - downside is it costs £13 to do it that way.
From that you will get the date and place of marriage of the parents and also their names.
Then look up the marriage cert on Scotlandspeople and that will give you the ages of the couple, names of both sets of parents, whether they are deceased or not, the maiden names of the mothers and the occupations of the fathers.
Sandhaven is in Banff and I have a fair few people from there and Portsoy! Not Patersons I hasten to add - my Patersons were Ag labs from Strichen near Fraserburgh.

Sara have got access to your tree.


Am just off to work, will take a look when I get back.

Have had a quick peep, need your fathers parents details... you did say you have his Grandparents as well... if you could add them to you GR tree as well.

Will give it a try, no promises, but need to know as much as possible & you will have to apply for certificates.

i do think that his him his ship went down 8 miles from branacre suffolk
