Hi Dawn Many thanks for your very kind offer could you please see if there is a record for Margaret Reed born about 1850 and Sarah Ann Reed born about 1852 in Edinburgh probably in the Canongate their parents were James Reed and Jane Carswell. Although the name is Reed it sometimes gets recorded as Reid. Regards Susan

Dawn thank you. This great , great grandmother is a puzzle -she married , had children , died but her birth was registered with parents different from her other records! Rosalyn

Hi Dawn Thanks for looking anyway. Julie

thanks a bunch Dawn, I wonder how far people would get if it wasn't for generous members like you Cath

Hi Dawn, Please can you look for children of John Lee and Mary Thompson in Scotland (probably Dumfries) 1790/1810 ? I'm also trying to trace a marriage for George Murray Graham. He was born 1859 and died 1893 both in Dumfries. His death was notified by his widow Margaret. I'm not sure if you have records for these dates but any help you can give will be very mush appreciated. Many thanks, Cath.

Hi Dawn just to let you know in case its of help to you the scotsman is allowing free access to their digital archives rangeing from 1812 to 1950. You have to register but its free for now. In honour of St Andrews day. Gloria

Hi Dawn Would it be possable for you to look up two for me please? I am trying to trace the children of Robert Brunton who married Janet Lambert 16/05/1778 Innerleithen, Peebles, Scotland. If possable would you be able to give me the names for both of their parents. The other one i am stuck on is also for children Gideon Brunton ( son of the above ) who married Margaret Darling 21/11/1807 Stow, Midlothian, Scotland. And again if possable would really appreciate the names of Margaret's parents. I am really stuck on Parents/Siblings/Children of the above. Thank you Michelle.

DOROTHY LAVALLE Hi Dorothy I had a look on my records for Linus and his parent's, just in case they were there, but sadly they weren't. As my records only really go up to 1854 and a little later. From the marriage cert of Linus, you have his age, his parent's names and maybe where he was born!?! You could ask if anyone on the site could look up his birth cert on Scotland's People for you or you could do it yourself. This might be a good starting point. Good luck and I'm sorry that I couldn't help. Dawn :-)

CATRIANA CARR Hi Kate Sorry I couldn't find anything for either of these two. Hope they turn up soon for you. Dawn :-)

DONNA KILSBY Hi Donna I'm sorry but I couldn't find anything for these people. I tried to find Robert's birth/christening, any possible siblings and his parnet's marriage but nothing came up. Hope you can find them soon. Dawn :-)

PAMEL WARD Hi Pam I'm sorry that I won't be able to help with your search as my records only go up to 1854 and a little later, so I can't see your marriage being here, even if it did take place in Scotland. Hope you find them soon. Dawn :-)

WILLIAM CUMMING Hi William I was only able to find James' christening, nothing came up for John. Hope the info helps. Dawn :-) JAMES CUMMING, ch 13 May 1849, Forres, Moray

ALAN TENNUCHI Hi Alan The only other entries that I could find in Edinburgh for those surnames were the following. There were none later than 1832. Dawn :-) PETER REVA married MARGARET DONEGAN, 24 Dec 1824, Cannongate, Edinburgh PAUL REVA married MARGARET LYON, 11 Nov 1806, Cannongate, Edinburgh

Do you have information on a Samuel Barr born around 1866 parents James Barr and Sarah Moore. He may have been born in glasgow as he married there. Do you also have information on an Agnes Palmer born in 1917 Glasgow to a Samuel Palmer and Elizabeth McLean - we would like to know the church she was baptised in and if she had any siblings.
