Find Ancestors

Hi Mary

I got the certificate, many thanks for that.

I see that Christina Miller, 17 Drummond Street in Edinburgh is listed as a witness. I wonder if she could be a sister or a best friend of Charlotte's.

Do you know if there is anyway I can research this address ?

Ian

This is the marriage reference for Frank's parents - so you will be looking for children between 1891 and at least 1911 (Frank was born 1910)

3 1891 KANE ALEXANDER PARIS HELEN UPHALL /WEST LOTHIAN 672/00 0007

Then do the same for Charlotte's parents.

Hi Ian

I have just downloaded the image for Frank and Charlotte's marriage - it gives details of both sets of parents which will help you to find siblings for each of Frank and Charlotte.

If you want the image send me your email address BY PM (click on my name above) - not on this thread - and I will send it to you.

Mary

Thanks Ginny

I will get back to you after i check. Though no middle name!

Ian

There are a few interesting entries on 192

Did he have a middle name?

Hi Ginny,

Yes I have tried 192, no luck !!!!!

As Frank's family take in the new born Janet Charlotte Kane, I wondered if Alexander could have gone with a member of his mother Charlotte's family however, I have no idea if Charlotte had any siblings so I don't know where to look next.

thanks Ann, I know this sounds stupid but how do I "nudge", I really am new at this.

Ian

Have you tried 192.com

certainly not rude in anyway - of course not!!! I'm rubbish at finding living people and hopefully he is still living - however, there are many on here who are great at it, so just be patient and I have no doubt that someone will deliver the goods for you!!! every so often give this posting a "nudge" to keep it on the front page until something turns up

Ann X [fingers crossed for you]

Thank you for your reply Ann !

I was so nervous asking for help that I didn't say please in my post, I'm so sorry it comes across so rude.

I checked the Search Trees tab just in case someone had Alexanders details but I had no luck. I only found out his name and date of birth a few days ago and it was a shock to my mother as she thought he was a twin who was given up at birth.

Any suggestions on where I can look next would be a great help, and again Ann thank you for your reply.

Ian

suggest you use Search Trees tab top of this page to see if there are any connections on this site

Can anyone help please?

I'm looking for my mothers older brother Alexander. He was born in Stewartfield, Broxburn, Midlothian in Scotland on 18th July 1931. His parents were Frank and Charlotte Kane ( Howison, Howieson). In 1932 his mother dies in childbirth. His sister was adopted by an aunt on his fathers side.
