Hi Mhairi, Could you look for my grandmother's birth - October 15th 1918? Her name is Margaret Mellon but it could be under Margaret Mellon- Fraser. Thank you for your help Lucia

Posted a request for a look-up for my father Matthew Dunlop Keir b 8th Feb 1919, wanted his parents names. Forget that!! I have them now. Thanks anyway. Wondered if you could help with another one though. I would like to find out where his 1st marriage took place and when the only info I have is from 2nd marriage cert:- Matthew Dunlop Keir Divorcee of Winifred Penelope Keir (nee Povey) possibly took place in Kippen, Stirling (Year??) I would like any info if you can find it eg Witness etc. Thanks Forgot to put in a date!!!! His 2nd marriage in Liverpool was 19th January 1946, so his 1st is before that. I would guess 1937?+

Hi Mhairi Can you look for a marriage and a death please! Rose Phyllis Heath b. 13/04/1918 Don't have a husband's name to search on - possibly lived in Falkirk/Rosyth areas. Many thanks for your time. regards Bridie

Hi Mhairi, thanks for your kind offer. If possible could you look for the birth of...... Jessie Ellis, abt 1908 , Glasgow father...William Ellis, mother Mary Philips and if it's there the marriage date of her parents Thank you, good luck with your own look ups Christine

Hi Mhaira Another look-up if you have time. Can you look for John & Elizabeth Marrow on the 1901 census. They would be 25 & 22 , & I know John born in England. Although they married in Hull in 1900 I can't find them down south. My great grandmother was John's sister & moved to the Calton district of Glasgow when she married a Scotsman, I just want to check the possability that John moved North also. His occupation in 1900 was a Labourer. Only 15 Marrow on the 1901 census so just a vague chance Thanks in advance Jim

Mhairi, I have recently discovered through an application for poor relief that my gg grandmother Elizabeth Duncan had a illegitimate son William b.18/11/1874 in Glasgow city poorhouse. The father was a William Hainey. By 1881 she had married someone else , but William is not with the family on the census. Could you 1. Find out the surname William was registered under (Duncan/Hainey. May also be Dillon) and was the father named 2. Can you check for his death between 1874-81 since he was not with the family. Thanks in advance, Jim

You will certainly be busy by the looks of things. I am trying to establish my connection with Thomas the doughty Dickson from Douglas. Supposed to be on my ggrandfathers paternal grandmother line but so far have been unable to acheive any results. James Dickson McKerrow b1867 Douglas d 1947 Pollockshields parents Alexander McKerrow b1835 Douglas d1909 Douglas Isabella McGregor Lawcock b1825 douglas d 1912 Glasgow Alexanders parents are John McKerrow b 1816 Galston d 1900 douglas Jean/Jane Sloan b1812 Douglas This is where I am stuck because his mother is supposed to be a DICKSON. Its possible there were 2 Alexander McKerrow born around the same time and the 2 have been mixed up. Also the McGregor connection is still eluding me. If you have time for any of this it would be a great help Thanks again for thinking of us all on here. GLoria

Hello could you possibly look up information on Elizabeth Henderson she married Cornelius Page on 28/11/1870 in Edinburgh. I cannot find any other informationon this person and one old census records has her born in York but other information has Scotland. She had daughter Mary Elizabeth Marshall Page born 24/12/1882 who married James Cochrane Mack on 30/10/1902. Any help would be great.

Hi Mhairi Thanks and good hunting! Allie

Hi Mhairi Sorry, I didn't realise that the records do not include births! He was married in england as far as i know, so prob. nothing in the Edinburgh office, thanks anyway and give my fond regards to Edinburgh! Allie

What a kind offer! Would you mind looking to see if someone left a will, for me? Her name was ROBINA ROSS, who died in Nairn, 4/7/1930. Thank you.

Hello and thanks for your offer. If you have time, please could you look up my Gt Gt Grandfather as follows:- GEORGE SOMERVILLE born about 1843 I believe in the Edinburgh area. His middle name may be FREER or FROER. He moved to London, so it would only be his dob you might find. Am having trouble establishing his exact birth date and parents, so hope you can find him. Thanks again Allie

re Mary S Phillip, yes she is the wife of William. Sue
