Find Ancestors

I have tried to contact Mark directly, without any luck. Would love to know more about that Bible he has?

Reg,
You could try contacting Mark more directly by clicking on his name and sending him a message, in case he has stopped monitoring this thread.

As both parents born in Scotland,( according to 1911 census) you won't find their births on freebmd.
However, this looks like their marriage


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Mar 1892

Chappell Herbert Charles Paddington 1a 32
>>>>>>>>Findlay Thomas - Paddington 1a 32
Lang Florence Ada B Paddington 1a 32
>>>>>>>>McMILLAN Agnes - Paddington 1a 32

What are her parents father's names from the marriage certificate and did they marry in Scotland?

im trying to find where she fits into my tree cannot find any ref to her parents before the 1881cenus when her mother agnes macmillian lived in albion street kensington london with her uncle james henderson .

Had the following been posted on the thread instead of PM'd to me, it would have saved people a lot of time.

..." 1911 cenus thomas finlay head aged 49 occ engine fitter.wife agnes findlay nee macmillian aged 49, agnes md findlay aged 10 eltham s e 9 "

----------------------

As you already knew she appeared on 1911 census as Findlay, I don't understand why you "couldn't find anything else "

She is clearly on 1901 census and freebmd

Births Dec 1899
Findlay Agnes Margaret D - W. Ham 4a 439
