I have a few credits which are about to expire on Scotland's people, if anyone would like a lookup, please give as much info as possible, and what you are actually seeking.

I will answer in order, until I run out of credits.

I am not online until later this evening, but will be around part of Friday and the weekend.

Hi Diane, if the offer is still going please could you look up a possible marriage for Alexander Leslie and Isabel/Isabella Adam c1790,...... maybe earlier or later... they had a son William born c 1797, don`t know of any other siblings..I`m sorry but I have no idea of the area, just know it would be Scotland, don`t know if the search facility on Scotlandspeople allows "blanket searches", but anthing you may find would be great.

thanks in advance.

Hello Diane, if you have any credits left,could you do a look up for me please.

It is for a marriage of William Whitehead to a Matilda Plant first child born in 1858. so I would think the marriage may have been 1856/57 in Falkirk Stirlingshire.
Many thanks
Sheila

Hi Shelia:
If you have any credits left I am searching for any information on my ggggggrandfather from Knoydart, INVERNESS, Inverness-Shire, Scotland.
The following is data that was given to me about his son who emigrated to Canada in 1815 from Knoydart to Lochiel Glengarry Ontario. The line of his ancestors is given.

Searching for John MacDonald/McDonald Born around 1755

MacDonald, Angus 25 Apr 1840 Lochiel “mac Jen bhain au torrachroin” (son of Fair John)
Lochiel is the son of John Ban (of Toirachrain) MacDonald his line would be Angus of John Ban of John of John of Duncan Ban of Duncan of John Mor of Roari(Roderick) of Ian Raurdh(Red John) of Neil of Anghas Buidhe(Blonde Angus) of Eoghan (Ewan) of Charles of Hector Og(Young Hector) of Hector Ard(High Hector) of Alistair Mor McDonald, Laird of Loup(e).

The MacDonald's of Loup came from Knoydart Scotland to Canada probably starting with John Roy in 1786. The word Torrachoin would be gaelic I assume for a place or town where your relative came from. As there are no longer any towns or even people in Knoydart or surrounding areas nothing shows on current maps. I have a map from 1875 and south of Knoydart in North Morar which is just across Loch Nevis there is a place or town called Torr A Chonnaidh which is very close and could be the same.

Hi Diana, thank you for your kind offer.

I am interested to know who some witnesses were in a marriage register.

Rachel Ramage was married to George Henderson in 17 Nov 1834 at Edinburgh.

Could you please look up their marriage register?

Regards, Steven.
