Find Ancestors

Hi Dawn Many thanks for your help with Gellatlys and Stewarts Carol x

Hi Dawn, Thankyou for your very kind offer. When you are able to spare a few mins could you please see if you can find The marriage of David LITTLE and his bride Margaret WEIR which took place on 27th November 1825 ( I think) in Sanquhar, Dunfries, Scotland. Sanquhar is a small place which is located on the Western side of Scotland, just above Glasgow, Near Warnock Head (as far as I know - my geography's not too hot !). If you are able to locate these I would be interested in their parents details (plus any other information that's given on the record) and also the children they baptised. These children would have included James LITTLE baptised in Warnhock Head, Sanquhar, Dumfries in 1828. If you have the time I would also be really grateful if you could see if there is a christening for James Bayne possibly in 1802 or possibly 1807. His father was definitely called Alexander BAYNE and his mother's surname was definitely DRUMMOND. However, I'm not sure whether the mother's christian name is AGNES or ISABELLA. Census returns indicate that James BAYNE was born in LENNOXTOWN, Dunbarton which is not too far away from Glasgow ( I think). I did a google search and found that the parish name is probable CAMPSIE, and I also did a Scotlands people search which suggested a baptism for James BAYNE at CAMPSIE in 1802 which I thought was a about 5 years earlier than the ages on census returns and death certificates suggest.

Hi Dawn, OOP's Sorry, I didn't notice the date. Thank you so much for your reply. Kind regards,Margaret

Hello Dawn thanks for trying to find my Bernard Cochrane I'm begginning to think that Bernard may be his middle name as eveyone seems to draw a blank with him. :0( Much appreciated Jenny

Hi Dawn Could you please look for John Perrie he married Isabella/Isabel Wilson in Larbert Stirlingshire 1809. I dont know who John's parents were, Isabella's were Robert wilson and Isabella Laird. I would love to know who Johns parents were and any children they had. I think they had about 7. thanks for any help Marion

Hiya Dawn, Wondering if you can find any other names for my tree. My Peter Cameron married Mary Casey in Lanarks, Glasgow in November 1853. He was a tinsmith. Cheers, Mark

Hi, Thank you for your very kind offer. I was wondering if you might be able to find a william MATHESON born abt 1826 in Midlothian, parents William and Elizabeth. I know that he had a sister named Jessie who was born abt 1832 in Midlothian. I do not know anything else, and have hit a brickwall with this family, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Boo

Dear Dawn, Thnaks for the offer. Are you able to trace the birth records for my ancestor Edward Strachan born c1811 or 1816 (depending on which census you read). He was born in Kineff and Catterline, Kincardineshire. His parents were George Strachan and Elizabeth Moonlight. I have already looked on Scotland's People website but no success. I can find records for his older and younger siblings. Thank you. Susan

Hi Dawn, If you were able to locate the birth of an Ellen Turnbull in 1837 in Scotland, in the Leith/Dalmeny/Edinburgh area, and her parents, it would be really useful. The name and date are correct, the location is a 'very positive suspicion' No second names are known. Many thanks in advance, Ian

Hi, Dawn, Thank you for your offer could you please look for the birth/ baptism of Andrew Hannah c 1835 he married Ann Murray in 1855 in Dalmellington, the county of Ayr. So am assuming that he was born in that area. Many Thanks in advance. Di.
