Find Ancestors

Hello Karen, Are you still offering look ups? If so I would be grateful if you could find this couple on the 1891 census [presumably living in Glasgow] JAMES AIRD , a carter, born 30-03-1857 in Glasgow wife: JESSIE, a cotton powerloom weaver, born c1860, I don't know where but I would guess also in Glasgow [This is what I want to know, plus any children they had at the time] Many thanks for your offer, Glenn

Glenn Aird do you if they had any children, as a guide as I cannot locate a james and jeesie although can find a carter called john married to a jessie ????

Hi Karen, Can I ask you for a lookup please, I have a marriage for the following couple, George Hepburn b1871c and Rebecca Leslie b 1878c married 13th feb 1802 parish of Strichen, Gamrie, Banff. I have these children but wonder if there are more. Alexander 1803, George 1808, James1809, William 1817 and Sheriffs 1819 all with the Hepburn surname. Would you be able to find out for me if there are any others and if these ones I have are correct. Many thanks Brenda.

Dear Karen re: Martha Thomson Thanks for looking anyhow All the best Cheryl

Dear Karen, thank you for your help. I have sent you a PM. Regards, Helen

hi karen, wondering if you could find any children for me from the marriage of George Tait & Isabella Henderson, m1800 Watten, Caithness, Scotland. I have 2 sons of theirs John 1801 & George 1808 but assuming there are a lot more. Also I don't have the parents of George or Isabel(la) so if you could maybe look at that if you can find their marriage records I would really appreciate it. thank you, regards joanne

Hi Karen, Can you have a look for a marriage between James Ingles and Elizabeth Ross in the Edinburgh area sometime between 1790 and 1812 please.All I have on them is the names from their son James' death certificate.He was born around 1810 going by the censuses and either in Glencorse or Musselburgh.The father is listed as an innkeeper on the death certificate.Maybe you can also find them in 1841 and see if you can find any children please. Many thanks, Joan

Hi Karen, I am looking to get further back with one side of my family. I am stuck on David Wishart Smith who married a Euphemia Lowe. David was born Musselburgh circa 1838 and his mothers name was Jessie Stevenson. His father was either John or David but I cant get any more info. Any chance of some help? Many thanks, Matthew Kerton.

Brenda Jones can see marriage although my records state marriage in Rathven, aberdeen, no parish records of children (is no christening records)

Joanne McAlindon the only children that have christening records are the ones that you already have Marriage Tait George and Isabell Henderson 25.01.1800 Bower Caithness, Scotland Does not give any other details

Hi Karen. I am looking for the following family for the 1851 and 1861 census. I've tried looking for them but haven't had any luck. Maybe I just haven't come up with the right ''mistranscription''. McCOLL Bernard c1811 (59 when he died in Paisley 1870) born Ireland, ?Foundry Labourer Ann c1807 (62 when she died in Paisley 1869) born Ireland Ann(ie) c1853 born Paisley Bridget c1842 born Ireland (I have her separately as a boarder in 1861) Unsure about any more children. (Did find another family member Bernard who was down as Barney; don't know if that helps) Hope you can help. Margaret

Hi Karen, Thanks for the lookup, and of course Strichen was in Aberdeen thats what happens when you post messages late at night. I got the Georges muddled up the son married in Gamrie how silly of me. Thanks anyway. From Brenda.

Margaret @ö Lindsay, Canada Have searched census over and over but cannot find any that match, I found the lodger that you said but not sure that it yours as another born in that area at that time so could be another family ?? if you get any other info then I will happily look again

On his death certificate his parents are listed as Jessie Smith nee Stevenson and John Smith! He died 18/03/1913. Hope this helps! Matthew.
