MARY BURNS Hi Mary I'm unable to help you with your search as my records only go up to 1854 and Northumberland is in England not Scotland and these records are only for Scottish Church Records. Good luck with your searching. Dawn :-)

DAVID OWEN Hi David I couldn't find anything for Charles and Ann's marriage. Do you have the details of their son that you mentioned? Might help. Thanks Dawn :-)

MARY MOLLOY Hi Mary Had another quick look for you but still couldn't spot anything that looked a possible. It could be Janet, instead of Jane. Another possible is Jean. I've noticed in my records a lot of Jean/Jane, so maybe that's where she's hiding!!! Good luck Dawn :-)

Thanks for looking, Dawn. She has been a brickwall person for about 15 years now! It's going to take dynamite to shift this one!! Thanks again, Janice

Many thanks for the offer, Dawn. I am trying to trace details of my Great Grandparents. Their names were David Kay and Jessie Thirza Reid, who I believe was a Cockney. They lived in Cronberry, nr Muirkirk, Ayrshire, Scotland. They had five sons..John, James, Robert, David and Hugh. Also five daughters..Cunningham (Connie), Maggie, Annie, Jessie and my Grandmother Thirza, who was born in 1898. I'm afraid that is the only information I have. Regards Kay

Dawn thank you so much for your time & the trouble you've gone to. You've certainly given me food for thought there LOL! Donald I had included in my tree as a son - put had no date other than 1853 and no place of birth. Thank you Much happiness debi

MAUREEN WHITE Hi Maureen This was a tough one but got there in the end. I found 4 of the children, parents listed as JAMES WHITE AND ANN GRANT. ALEXANDER WHYTE, ch 2 Apr 1843, Keith, Banff WILLIAM GRANT WHITE, b 15 Dec 1846, Old Machar, Aberdeen JOHN WHYTE, ch 29 May 1851, Banchory Devenick, Kincardine MATILDA WHITE, ch 1 Oct 1853, Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen Then I found James and Ann's marriage. JAMES WHITE married ANN GRANT, 2 Jun 1842, Keith, Banff The only possible that I could find for James in Banff was this one, there were loads of others if born in another part of Scotland. There were loads of possibles throughout Banff for Ann Grant. JAMES WHITE, cH 14 Oct 1817, Banff, Banff, Father JAMES WHITE, Mother ANN MURRAY Hope you find the info helpful. Good luck with your searching. Dawn :-)

DAVID SHERIFFS Hi David I could only find one child for John and Jean. did find a possible christening for Jean and her parents marriage. Hope you will be able to confirm this as this will be the furthest back search I've ever done for someone. Dawn :-) ALEXR.

Dawn, thank you for looking anyway. As you rightly say, the parents are 'wrong'. If you have a spare moment, could you possibly look for any information on the following: 0n 31.12.1855 at No.2 Perries Court, High Street, Edinburgh: John McIntosh of Blackfriars Wynd, age 24, Lace Maker, born Canongate, parents John McIntosh, occupation Hatter and Mary married Elizabeth Hume of Fountain Close, age 21, born High Street, parents David Hume, occupation Bookbinder and Elizabeth. This is the furthest back I have managed to get with this family who are my great great grandparents. I would be most grateful for any other information you may be able to find for me. Thank you in anticipation. Carol

Dawn thanks for looking anyway - much appreciated. Karen

Hi Dawn I only know that their son John was born c1845 and married Elizabeth Thom 10 May 1867 Kettins Angus (which is where the parents names came from). Don't worry if you can't find anything and thanks for looking:)

Thanks for the previous look up. Can I ask for another? I found 1789 marriage of George Clark and Margaret Petrie in Old Meldrum. Cannot find their births or deaths. I know George was alive at the time of the 1841 census which shows him in his son's house age 75 (no sign of his wife but he might have been visiting?) Tried to find grave on Aberdeen & N.E. Family History Society list of M.I..s but no luck. They were married in the established Church and the census shows George as born in Aberdeenshire the lady at the family history society found a George Clark born in Fettercairn, Kincardinshire (not far away) around that time but not sure if it,s the right one. George's Birth would be about 1766.

Hi Dawn, can you look up a birth of Christopher Buchanan in Dumfries, abt 1819-1821. Also the marriage of Christopher Buchanan to Jean Blacklock abt 1841 - 1843 also in Dumfries. The birth of their first son Thomas in 1843, was in the parish of Middlebie Dumfries.I have been unable to trace them on the 1841 census in Middlebie ( BOTH MAY HAVE BEEN SINGLE AT THAT TIME) On the wed cert to his second wife in Lancs ,his father was named as James Buchanan,don't know who his mother was. Keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that you may find something abt the above. Doreen.

Thankyou for looking Dawn Danielle

Dear Dawn, I would like to have the birth or christening record of James Melville born c 1825 in Dundee, Scotland. His father's name is Ninian, mother is possibly Mary Kydd but not positive. Many thanks, Robyn in Australia
