Hi, Dawn. Thank you for the offer. Could you try to find: A birth for John Clark, born Fyvie, Aberdeenshire about 1791 His parents were George Clark and Margaret Petrie George Clark born around 1766 (not sure exactly where but most likely Aberdeenshire or Kincardineshire) have his marriage in 1789 to Margaret Petrie in Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire but it doesn't give any other clues.

Many thanks for your offer Dawn. I am hoping to confirm the children of James MILLER (c1805) and Elizabeth (c1809) MILLER. Elizabeth's maiden name is also Miller. They married in Glasgow in June 1830. I have John 1831, Robert 1833 and James 1837. Margaret

Hi Dawn Very kind of your to offer to do look ups. I am looking for the birth record of William Heron, born about 1820. I am afraid I don't know the exact area in Scotland he was born, although it may be Dundee (family story). His father's name was William James Heron, but I don't know his mother's. Sorry if this isn't enough info to find anything, but I'd love it if you could check it for me. I am also looking for details of William's first marriage, which would have been sometime between 1838 and 1858 - nothing else to go on here, no details of the bride or actual date or location, but I'm guessing it was Scotland. Anyway, if you can find anything, that'd be great! Thanks in advance and good luck with your new bub! Kat in Canberra, Australia

congratulations on the pregnancy. I had another addition to my tree on Sunday. Another grand daughter. Think she will be called Madelline. Wished the internet was around when I was having babies cos it would have made the night feeds a bit more interesting.LOL Good luck Gloria

Dear Dawn, I don't know if your very kind offer still stands but I am desperate so I will try and hope for the best. I am trying to find the marriage of Mary Frances or Mary Francis I'm sorry I don't know if the Frances part is her maiden name or her middle name but she was born c.1835-40. I don't know her parents names. The marriage took place between 1850 and 1853, they probably married around Glasgow. The groom was Francis Hill, he was Irish born c.1835 His father's name was Joseph Hill. Also, I am after the birth of their child James Hill born c.1852-53. I'm sorry it's not much to go on, I hope it's not too much trouble. Regards Cas N.S.W.
