	Hi I have a John McAlpine born 1831 Linlithgow Scotland his parents were George & Jessie/Cecilia Liddle, I have he married Margaret Hall 1852 Northumberland 1961 in Linlithgow 71 Northumberland 81 Northumberland then nothing their is a death 1887 Northumberland that seems to fit? . I have been thinking of joining My heritage as they have records from USA etc that you can view ?? whilst looking into it I have a match with some one on there for John and they have it he died 24 Feb 1914 Ontario Canada ? It has me wondering if I have been following the right person I can't get in touch with this person as I'm not a paid up member so I was hoping some one can find this John McAlpine who died 1914 to see if it could be the same person Thank you

	Thank you for that I think the retired Clergyman did it so it looks as though I was following the right John Thought it was strange this other tree had 2 john's listed possibly they couldn't make their minds up Thank you

	That is why I try and check them but when you haven't got world wide ancestry you have to rely on people helping which is appreciated and this is why I was looking into my heritage at the moments it's £92 for the year I only paid £76 for ancestry Thank you

	Having looked at Cecelia's birth, I now think that 1841 census is a mistranscription of her name. Not sure how you could make Isabella out of Cecelia but maybe the original is a bit feint. First name(s) Cecilia Last name Liddel Gender Female Birth year 1809 Birth place - Baptism year 1809 Baptism date 01 Oct 1809 Baptism place LINLITHGOW, WEST LOTHIAN, SCOTLAND Father's first name(s) Thomas Father's last name Liddel Mother's first name(s) Marion Mother's last name Murray Residence Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland Place Linlithgow County Linlithgowshire (West Lothian) Country Scotland Record set Scotland Births & Baptisms 1564-1950 Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records Subcategory Parish Baptisms Collections from Scotland, Great Britain Index (c) IRI.
