Hi Ellen Im sorry if Ive already asked but please could you look up the james watson family in glasgow Ibelieve my ggrndfather was Donald Watson James son I have no Idea were else to look Icant get started thankyou Isabel

Hi Ellen, Thanks for the offer. I would like to know what siblings Robert John Telford had. He was born in 1874 in Kirkbean, Kirkcudbright the son of David Telford born 1849 and Mary born 1851 both probably in the New Abbey, Kirkbean or Southwick area of Kirkcudbright. Best wishes Ian

Isabel I need a little more help here. There are 300 James Watsons in Lanarkshire. Do you have any idea of how old you'd expect him to be in 1881? Why Glasgow - what information are you working from and does it have anything more specific than Glasgow? Regards Ellen.

Hi Ian Here they are - mistranscribed as Telfer!

Hi Ellen Could you look and see if you can find anything on Alexander Hodge born c1820 either Glasgow or Edinburgh Area. He did marry Sarah Ann Augusta Cummings born around the same time and place. Any help welcome. Best wishes Julie

Hi Julie No married (or widowed) Alexander Hodge. Only 3 Sarah's 1814, 1822, and this one, the only Sarah Ann. Two (incl this one) married to Georges and one to a James.

Hi Lynne Just for you I checked scotlandspeople.(You're now going to have to invest in some credits to trace further!) William Donaldson married Mary Bell at Hemplands, Tortherwald, Dumfrieshire on 22.02.1883. He was 25 yrs, a Gamekeeper, Batchelor, living at Hillside, Tortherwald. She was 22, Farmers Daughter, Spinster, living at Hemplands, Tortherwald. His parents: No father, so illegitimate. Mother Susan Donaldson, Housekeeper. Her parents: William Bell, Farmer and Helen Bell, maiden surname, Anderson. Witnesses: William Donaldson and Ellen Bell. I have the image saved, so if you send me your e mail address by priviate message, I'll forward it to you. Have to go offline now and won't be on till Wed night, so don't panic if I don't get back to you before then. Regards Ellen.

Thanks Ellen, I should have told you it changes from Telford to Telfer and back again with every birth/death certificate. Best Wishes Ian

Dawn I'm sorry, I'm really struggling with your Mcgills. No Joseph McGill anywhere. No Mary McGill who could be Joseph's wife on her own or with a family. I think from memory the census was early April so they should be married. Tried Mary McKenna, but no luck either. I'm going to have a look at the National Index and see if they slipped into England for a while. I'll get back to you. Ellen.

Dawn there is only one Joseph McGill born 5 years either side of 1853 in the whole UK (minus N Ireland). He was born in Kent and is living in Sussex, so not your man. I think they must be hiding somewhere mistranscribed. Sorry couldn't be of more help. Regards Ellen.
