Find Ancestors

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

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

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

nudged for Bridie Christine

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

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, 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

CLOSED Mhairi

Ok guys I kinda got a little distracted on wednesday so didnt get much of your searches done however i'm going back on monday so i'll do the rest then. Just letting you know so that you dont expect the information put up in the next couple of days, it'll be after monday. Mhairi

it is very easy to get distracted. I hired a microfische and spent 2 hours scrolling through. Thought I had gone blind by the time I got home. GLoria

Thanks for letting us know Mhairi. I know how quickly the time passes when you're in there, before you know it , it's closing time. Hope you had some success with your own tree. take care Christine

I know what it is like myself ,i spent all day at Huddersfield and only found 1 marriage and 5 births . Doesn't the time fly when your having fun . Cath

Thanks Mhairi, I guessed you must have been pretty busy. Still, everything comes to him who waits. Patience is a virtue. Best personal regards, John
