Is our Tracey okay? Not heard of on this thread for 5 days. Seems odd.

Hi Tracey,
Don't know if you are still helping with look ups but thought I better let you know that I have found the marriage for John Wilkie to Elizabeth ( Bessie ) Macreadie , but not as yet her death,

regards

jean

Hi

Many thanks for the offer of look ups. I am searching for anything on Dennis Waters (c1849) born Ireland living Scotland married to an Elizabeth (c1853) who was also from Ireland. They had many children and those I know born in Scotland are: Daniel c1873, Mary c1874, Thomas c1875, Elizabeth, a Francis - Perhaps a few more - they then moved to Durham and had more children which I can trace from there. I am only looking for information from Scotland and Ireland.

Many thanks

Barbara

Hi Tracey,

Would you have any information or sources on James Dunlop who imigrated to Australia in 1858 - some indications are he travelled on the SS Sirocco from Liverpool but cannot confirm this here in Australia. He was born in Fenwick, Tarboloton, Scotland in 1833.
Many thanks, Jean

Apologies Sandra -from your thread

I thought you were looking for directions to this one. I posted on this one to bring it to the first page of the board to make it easier to find. Apologies again if that wasn't needed.

Nudging for Sandra.

Hi Sandra,

There were no 'certificates' in 1847 only a few lines (if your lucky) in the church book.

This is the marriage you wanted.

19/02/1847 CHERRY JEAN HUGH FLEMING/FR905 F BLANTYRE /LANARK 624/00 0040 0171

The image just states their names and that they were both of that parish.

No worries Madmeg.

Well done Susan, nice find!

Ah, the Help Clinic has gone, phew, what a relief. Now all those Stars can carry on doing the good work they always did without getting any stick for it.

Anyway, it looks like Susan has found the marriage of John Allan McDonald and Catherine Turley in Oz. I've sent for the cert, so don't search any more Tracey till I have his parents.

Thanks.

Hi Tracey,
I wonder if you could find a marriage for John Wilkie to Bessie ?McCreadie in Glasgow, not sure of the spelling of her name sorry.Possibly about 1898.
John's d.o.b. is 1878, he died in 1922, his 2nd wife signed the death cert .

The 2nd marriage took place in 1918 in Kelvin.

Also if possible a death for Bessie McCreadie, sorry don't know her d.o.b.
Thanks very much
jean ( yes me again )

Christine,

This is the birth of Agnes,

19/06/1825 MCFARLANE AGNES ALEXANDER MCFARLANE/AGNES HOUSTON FR753 GORBALS GLASGOW CITY CITY/LANARK 644/02 0040 0115

In 1825 there were no certs, so it's just a line in the baptism book, i can send you the image if you pm me your email address.

This is the marriage of Agnes's parents.

13/01/1822 MCFARLANE ALEXANDER AGNES HOUSTOUN/FR6634 M GLASGOW GLASGOW CITY CITY/LANARK 644/01 0400 0115

...again i can send you the image. According to the image Alexander was a Tailor.

I am still searching on their deaths for you....

Hi Alison,

The actual listing on SP states McFulton, and looking at the image i would say that was accurate (there are just not enough letters to make Middleton!)

I can email you the image if you wish?, pm me your email address.

The head of the household looks like Daniel, then Hellen and Isabella.

I hope this helps you.
