Find Ancestors

not the best site for searching, Paul!

Yes the census info in this website. Nothing. Then it sometimes says there are matches, but upon clicking, nothing.

Found all mine on Ancestry and Google.

Plus info off James Low Duncan's Military records.

Where are you looking for the census information (mine was from ancestry)?

Though it now makes sense, i cannot find any record of these people in the censuses, or anywhere, how did you find out this? I must be doing something completely wrong.

Ah...... i read it completly wrong, makes sense now.

How old was William George on the marriage certificate?

What was his occupation

What address did he give?

What was James Low's occupation?



Same information would also be helpful for Frances Eastwood.

UPDATE- i got the marriage certificate of WILLIAM GEOGRGE DUNCAN to FRANCES MURIEL EASTWOOD. Williams dad was JAMES LOW DUNCAN, but i still cannot find anything on him in census record etc?

I sure will, just a case of waiting. On holiday soon too so........ I will for sure let everyone know for closure once i have the marriage cert. Thanks for now though.

i paid 9.25, which i dont suppose is too bad, but at the rate of how good i am it will cost me that for every person i discover. its going to be a slow process. my other side of the family, crossley, have kept a lot of paper work, but the duncan side never did, so i am struggling. i need to confirm william g duncan birth date, now i know he died 1931, and where he actually came from, which i hope the marriage cert will confirm, through fathers name etc? i am however very surprised how much response i have got, i really appreciate it.

hi paul was just a long shot i went with connection to ship buildingas the father on household is ships engine fitter and on the 1901williams father is also a ships joiner
but i could be wrong
good luck
PP :-)

Paul, when you say huge cost, which price did you look at?

The cost of a full certificate, including postage, is £9.25 if you use the standard service.

The cost of a commemorative certificate, or the priority service is £23.40.

wow, thats a lot of effort you've gone to. i will keep you up-dated for i have ordered william g duncan and francis eastwood marriage certificate to get the father and familly names.
