CATH R.J Hi Cath I couldn't find Peter and Margaret's marriage but did find Charles as well as 3 siblings for him. Hope the info will be helpful.

Hi Anthony Sorry I can't help you with a look up as my records only go up to 1854, though some areas are a little later. Did do a check just in case but as I thought not that late. Dawn :-)

APRIL PADGETT Hi April I couldn't find anything for Jessie, children for Thomas and Margaret or John and Ann, but did find Thomas and William. Dawn :-) WILLIAM KER married ELIZABETH RUTHERFORD 2 Jun 1839, Swinton THOMAS KER, ch 21 Dec 1839 WILLIAM KERR, ch 16 Aug 1844

DAVID SHERIFFS Hi David Looks like it could be the Banns. Maybe one was the bride's parish and one the groom's!?! I couldn't find any children for David and Elizabeth, even those that you gave me the names of. Sorry I wasn't much help this time. Dawn :-)

Hi Dawn, Can you please try to find a John Nicol for me. He is beleived to have been born in Largs, Ayrshire. I know that his son was born in 1894 so I am assuming he was born about 1870. Many thanks Julie

dawn , could you please have a look to see if you can find anything about a margaret jaffrey /jaffray born abt 1824 lanark [i think] she married charles hill nov 1845 no parents name s as the marriage record i have is banns only catherine

Hi Dawn Can you see if you can find a marriage for me that I'm stuck on? I have a William Levenie (also transcribed as Leveney, Leveny and Levny) c.24/08/1792 at Boyndie, Banff who married Jane Lovie also of Boyndie, Banff. I think their first child was Jane Levenie b.1815 at Whitehills, Boyndie, which is where I'm expecting them to have married. Their parent's were James Levenie and Elizabeth Adamson and John Lovie and Jane or Jean Watson. Any info on these would be extremely grateful. Thank you Kaye

Hi Dawn, Can you possibly find any mention of the birth of Charles Graham c 1790 probably Edinburgh or the marriage of Peter Graham and Margaret Dalgleish c1780 again possibly Edinburgh (St. Cuthberts). Any help very gratefully received. Cath.

Thanks for the offer I'm trying to find the parents and birthplace of JESSIE MUIRHEAD McKIE born somewhere in scotland in 1911 Thanks for any help and your time

Hi Dawn, Thanks for looking that up for me, they are the only two I had been able to find on scotlands people website, I think I may have to give up looking for this highly elusive rellie!! Thanks again, Sarah

Ahh well, thanks for trying Dawn :)

Hi Dawn Could you help me with my Kerrs again? William Kerr married Elizabeth Rutherford and had Thomas, Margaret, William Jessie, Eleanor and Elizabeth 1839-1852, but I can't find any record of Thomas, William or Jessie (my GGGM). They were born in Swinton, Berwick. Also the children of Thomas Rutherford and Margaret Kerr in Berwick abt 1798-1817. And the children of John Kerr & Ann Nisbet around 1775 in Berwick. Your help is much appreciated, April

Hi Dawn, could you please look up the children of David Sheriffs and Elizabeth Jamieson? They were married 11/10/1828 Inverkeillor Angus, 17/10/1828 St Vigeans Angus. Are these Banns? The LDS site only gives one child to Elizabeth, Helen, but shows the father as Robert Sheriffs. David has a half-brother Robert? The 1841 census has a David and Elizabeth Sheriffs of the right ages at St Vigeans with children David, Hellen and Mary. I was wondering if there are any more children. Kind regards, David

Thanks for the lookup Dawn - it's been most helpful. I only had 5 out of the 9. Some of the Kerrs were on IGI & SP but not my direct ancestor William Kerr, so it's good to have a date for him. April

Hi Dawn Thank you again .I have every census and helen Brown is listed as born in Beath, Fife I promise, I will not bug you for a while . Thanks again for all your help. Donna

MARGARET @ LINDSAY, CANADA Hi Margaret Think I've found him for you. Let me know if you'd like me to have a look for his parent's marriage and siblings for you. Dawn :-) ROBERT HAMILTON, b 12 Apr 1834, Glasgow, Lanark, Father WALTER HAMILTON, Mother MARGARET TURNER

APRIL PADGETT Hi April All I could find for Thomas and Janet Renton were George and Elizabeth. I did find 9 children for Thomas and Janet Kerr. Hope you find the info helpful. Dawn :-) MARGARET CARRE, ch 15 Dec 1794, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntly ELIZABETH KERR, ch 15 May 1796, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntley THOMAS KERR, ch 3 Feb 1798, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntly GEORGE KERR, ch 17 Dec 1799, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntly JAMES KERR, ch 20 Feb 1802, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntly WILLIAM KERR, ch 3 Mar 1804, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed as Huntly JOHN KERR, ch 23 Mar 1806, Ayton, Berwick, mum listed Huntly ALEXANDER KER, ch 31 Jul 1808, Swinton and Simprin, Berwick, mum listed as Huntley ADAM KERR, ch 7 Feb 1813, Swinton and Simprin, Berwick, mum listed as Huntley

SARAH MILLER Hi Sarah These were the only entries that I could find that fit the info you gave me. I did a whole Scotland check but still only came back with these. Not sure if one is your William or not. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Dawn :-) WILLIAM POLLOCK, ch 7 Jun 1835, Gorbals, Lanark, Father THOMAS POLLOCK, Mother JANET COCHRANE WILLIAM POLLOCK, ch 21 Jun 1835, Barony, Lanark, Father THOMAS POLLOCK, Mother JANET COCHRAN

Dawn, thanks for trying. Unfortunately, the only mention I have of Robert at all is on his son's birth certificate of June 4, 1855 -- Robert Hamilton, Boiler Maker, age 20 years, born Glasgow.

Hi Dawn , Thank-you so much for all your help. Your a real gem . I think It could be the one that was born in Kilrenny, Fife . Because she did name their second daughter Mary . Which would follow naming patterns. I forgot that in 1851 census it said that a Margaret Brown sister in law, 13, Flax spinner, Kinghorn, Fife Did they have a daughter named Margaret .Sorry I should of mentioned it before . What do you think, could it be a match ? I'm just new a this . Best wishes Donna
