Hi Rose Ann if your grandparents married in 1936 - not much chance of them being on 1881 census. Anne

Hi Anne, I left a message on another board for you but I have lost it now. Could I ask again if you could get me any details on my fathers maternal grandparents. Thier names were Peter McCafferty and his wife Margaret, they lived at 13 Wheatholm Street Airdrie. I would be very grateful for any information at all. Thank You Rose

Hello Anne, Thanks for your kind offer. I am looking for my husband's grandmother born in 1868 in London. Her maiden name was Eliza Corstorphin(e) - married George Witchlow in London in 1897 was widowed and remarried William Lowman in 1901, again in London. However, family rumour says that she worked as a nanny in Edinburgh Castle (presumable prior to her marriages.). Can you check the 1891 census for the castle to see whether she was there at that time?

Thank you Anne for the information about JOHN PRINCE its much appreciated. Best Wishes Teresa

Hi Ann, Many thanks for the look up + Happy new year to you. Regards Tony.
