Hi Emma,

I wonder if you could find a death for John McLuskey b. c 1840 in Ireland, His parents are Henry and Helen Butler, I think maybe in the Anderston district of Glasgow.
thank you

Hi Emma
My James Bruce married Christina Ross, 1867 S. Ronaldsay, if you could let me have the details of that marriage, I can work from there, [ a bit mixed up with the James Bruces at the moment ]. Sorry to have caused so much work by not giving you enough information. I really do appreciate your time and patience .
Thanks
Molly

Hi Emma
Thank you for your look up offer. I'd like some help with tracing my gt grand parents JAMES LAVELL c1811 and SARAH LAVELL c 1819 (nee LUNDIE)
They emigrated to Glasgow from Ireland sometime between 1839 and 1854 with their daughter Catherine c1839. They had two further children born in Glasgow, James c 1854 and Jane 21/6/1857.
The whole family appear on the 1861 census for Glasgow but in 1871 only Sarah 52 and Jane 13 are listed (in Kilbirnie, Ayreshire). Jane eventually moved to Leeds with her four children. Any help to find out what happened to James and Sarah would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Pauline

Thanks for the offer can you please look up birth details of James Barr b. 1867 nr, Ayrshire, Scotland.

I'm also looking for his father, Robert Barr c. 1845, manager of a colliery, because I've drawn up a blank at the moment.

Thanks ever so, Akcant
