Hi Suzi-Wong

Thank you for you kind offer.

I dont know if you can help me but worth a try.

I have a marriage cert for Paul Mclean and Euphemia Mckenzie married in 1907 Cathcart i have the death cert of Paul Mclean in 1931 North Snizort on it says he is married to Euphemia Mckenzie. The problem i have is i cant find Euphemia death cert i need that to get her mothers maiden name as on the marriage she has Charle Mckenzie a crofter and Mary Mckenzie.

There is another Euphemia born in 1877 with same parents i have followed the wrong line my Euphemia was born in 1885 i dont know where as i cant find a birth for her either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry if long winded.

Hi Suzi,
Thanks for your offer.. Hoping you might be able to help me find some more info on my great grandfather and his parents as i have hit a brick wall on this for a fair while.

My great grandfather Edward Mackintosh was born(according to his australian military records) 4 Oct 1890 in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Although his Western Australian marriage certificate states his age as 30 in 1923 which would make his birth year about 1893.

The marriage certificate states his parents as being William Mackintosh(deceased) a farmer and Helen Walker.

I have been unable to find a marriage for William and Helen and nothing at all of them on any census records.

I do however have an address for Helen from Edward's military records as having lived in Raeburn Place, Aberdeen around 1916.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Lee :)

Hi Suzanne,
Margaret's name was Cruden her father i believe was James Cruden, and she was married in Cruden! I have her place of birth as Auchterless, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
The last census info i have for them was found by someone else researching the same line and they say they found John and Margaret at Hill of Gask in the 1841 census!! i'm not sure they are the same people at all, i havn't been able to verify!
I actually wondered if he died and she remarried,only because they only had the two children.
also i do think the son John was born before the marriage

Event(s):

Hi Suzi Wong,
Many many thanks for you offer, I am looking for a divorce of Nellie Lees Connelly from Scott Yuill Blair, they married in 1934 and should have divorced by about 1949 as Scott has a second family by then in England.
The marriage took place in Hamilton Parsh Church Hamilton Lanarkshire.
The other one I am looking for is a marriage cert of Mary Lees Blair to Jack Wood or John That marriage would also have talen place in Hamilton. This marriage would have taken place around 1950 and divorce by 1960
Any info would be very much appreciated.

Dear Suzi,

Thank you for your offer of help. My gg granddad Patrick Gordon who was an iron worker and died in April 1913 in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire aged 37.

He moved to Middlesbrough by 1894 when he was a witness at his sister-in-laws wedding, and before marrying my gg gran in 1896. He was living in Middlesbrough in the 1901 census (The only census I can find him in when he was in Middlesbrough.). In this census his birth is listed as being in Middlesbrough, although my granddad said he was born in Glasgow, Scotland (according to family legend).

I know from his marriage certificate that Patrick's father was James Gordon, an iron worker, who had died by 1896.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Peter
