Elaine Sorry - no sign of James anywhere in UK. There's one James Henretty in Edinburgh, but he is with a wife Barbara and a couple of kids, so presumably is not yours! Perhaps if he was in the forces he was abroad somewhere? Regards Ellen.

Hi Ellen, Would you kindly find JAMES HENRETTY (or the like). He would be 25/26 - occupation on marriage cert. (18.11.1879)is Bandsman 50th Reg.L., residing at Edinburgh Castle? His wife Catherine McGarry and daughter were staying with her mother in 1881, so I was just wondering where he went to. Elaine

Hi everyone Will do these look ups on Wednesday evening. Am away from home working and don't have the discs with me. Will get back to you all. Regards Ellen.

Hey Ellen Few more for you too look up if you have the time. Alexander and Janet/Jessie Hutton (c1830, c1827) living in the Edinburgh area. Thanks again Mhairi

Hi Ellen Please could you look up George and Jane Partington (married) born 1837/38 whitby yorks,don't know what area they moved to Many thanks Tom

Hey Ellen I have found Peter Cockburns death cert which shows he dies before 1881. It also shows that he had another wife so if you have time can you look for Eliza Cockburn, Widow c1832 possibly living with the following children James Cockburn b1866 Thomas Cockburn b1869 Margaret Cockburn b1871 Robert Cockburn b1873 Thanks Mhairi

Hi Sue I've succumbed - again - and got the cert for the 1894 marraige. It COULD be your couple, but the ages are a bit higher than you expected. this Andrew would have been born 1864/5. what evidence led you to believe he was born 1872ish - just the age at death? Depending on who gave the info to the registrar that may not be quite accurate. If it is them, this is each of them in 1881 with their parents: Dwelling: 12 Private House Census Place: Fearn, Ross & Cromarty, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203408 GRO Ref Volume 064 EnumDist 6 Page 3 Marr Age Sex Birthplace James MC DONALD M 63 M Tarbat, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: Carter Davidina MC DONALD M 59 F Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland Rel: Wife Donald MC DONALD U 23 M Fearn, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland Rel: Son Occ: Carters Son Ann MC DONALD U 21 F Fearn, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland Rel: Daur Occ: Housekeeper Andw.

Hi Ellen, As Meatloaf might have said: 'One out of two ain't bad!' :) Very many thanks indeed, Gordon.

Hi again Sue If Andrew and Annie had a daughter Isabella - then that makes the 1894 marraige in Inverness look even more attractive. Next time you've got spare cash I'd go for it - you'd get so much info to take you further back. Regards Ellen.
