Hi, Dawn, If your look-up offer is still open, should be grateful please for any record of John SUTHERLAND, born Longhope or Walls, Orkney, about 1806. The first ancestor we’ve reached back to who was born in Scotland! Many thanks for any help you are able to give. Regards, Carol

Hi Dawn, Please can you help (again!). I'm looking for children of William Strong and Mary Hannay or Hannah in Dumfries 1810/40 ish. Also their marriage if at all possible. Thanks, Cath.

Thanks very much Dawn. This is just what I needed to confirm Hannay and not Hannah. The Mchargh middle name is also further confirmation for a sister of my grandfather's so thanks again. Cath.

Hello Dawn I would be so grateful if you could look up the baptism of JOHN ORROCK born in 1811 IN LEITH,EDINBURGH to see if it lists his parents please. if possible would you also look up the children of JOHN ORROCK AND JANET LUTET /Lutat I have 2 children George baptised 1/2/1827 John baptised 11/6/1833 both in Leith. many thanks Angela

Dawn, I'm hoping you can help with the following: I am trying to find the birth of William Miles CHRISTIE. On the 1871 Canadian census he was 40; on the 1881 he was 45. It only indicates his place of birth as Scotland. He named his son John Adam Christie - maybe after his father. It says that he was a Presbyterian, so he may be listed in your records. If you find him, could you also do a parent search for me, to check for other children? Any info you find would be appreciated. Margaret

ANGELA HOLT Hi Angela I couldn't find a birth or christening for John or any children listed for him and Janet. So I checked to see if I could find the 2 children, George and John and found something interesting. Their father is listed as George not John!!!! Sorry to throw a spanner in your research. So I did another check for George and Janet and found loads of children and their marriage, all in South Leith, Midlothian. JANE ORROCK, ch 19 Dec 1824, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LAUTET GEORGE ORROCK, ch 1 Feb 1827, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LUTAT MARGARET ORROCK, ch 8 Jan 1829, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LUTET ARCHIBALD ORROCK, ch 30 Jun 1831, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LUTAT JOHN ORROCK, ch 11 Jun 1833, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LUTET ALEXANDER ORROCK, ch 1 Jul 1834, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LOUTIT THOMAS ORROCK, ch 28 Apr 1837, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LOUTIT CHARLES ORROCK, ch 10 Jan 1839, Father GEORGE ORROCK, Mother JANET LOUTIT GEORGE ORROCK married JANET LOUTIT, 8 Apr 1823, South Leith, Midlothian I had another look for 'George's birth/christening and this was the only one that I could find in Leith.
