Hi Mhairi,

Perhaps I will have some more luck with this Donaldson birth lookup :-)

Parents: Francis Donaldson and Mary Wright were married in Milton Parish Church, Glasgow on 12th July 1907. I have been told they had three sons James, George & Francis within a short time after. So I would envisage a period of 1908-1912.

If you could find the details of even one of the sons, it will help me trace the family forward. I believe they all ended up in Baillieston, Glasgow.

Many thanks, hope I am not asking the impossible.

bye Helen

Mhairi

What a kind offer.

Please could you look up the birth of Walter O'Connell born 30 June 1939. Father - William O'Connell - Mother Catherine - not sure where but poss Mid Lothian/Edinburgh

Please could you look up marriage of William O'Connell to Catherine (Wilson Smith Baxter???) on 8 Oct 1938 at 34 Chambers Street Edinburgh.

If you could let me have the references so I could order the certificates that would be wonderful

I would really appreciate any further info.

thanks

Nicki

Hello Mhairi, I am trying to find my fathers sisters. Annie BELL
Elsie BELL
Molly/Mary BELL They lived in Torphichen Street from 1906 when Marion was born. another sister.

The parents were Thomas Bell and Catherine Ross.

Molly/Mary could have been b before 1900 but I think

Annie and Elsie were after 1906. Annie only died in the past 10 years and was a regular church member
I think the Methodist Church. and still lived at the same address.

I have tried on scotlandspeople to find them but no luck.

If you have the time I would appreciate any help.

Silver.

Thanks for another offer of lookups Mhairi,

1. Can you please lookup the death of Nicholas John Carney, he died aged 57 in Port Dundas Glasgow on 24th September 1911.

I have the image from Scotlands People so I don't need any of the details except I can't make out his mother Margaret Ann Carney's (deceased) maiden name as the image on SP is so poor, they wouldn't send me a copy. It looks like Tounes but the Y from the Carney married name above crosses over it so I am not sure.
I have never heard of the name Tounes before , maybe its Townes so it must be wrong, well I think it is.

2. Birth of Mary Ferguson in Dundee 1914, birth either 16th or 20th of May 1914. Sorry I don't have the exact date!!
Mother surname is Mary Carney and fathers name is Thomas Ferguson. I think they would have been living in City Road area of Dundee but not 100% sure.

Mhairi is there anyway I could have a photocopy of the above birth record, I would of course pay you.


Many thanks again Betty

Hi there after such goodluck with my last request i am going to try again

I am trying to find the births of children of John Riddoch ( slater, journeyman) and Sarah Alice Percival who married on 17/09/1915 in Aberdeen.

The children were all born in Aberdeen.

I think the first child was a Robert Riddoch but my mum was sure she basically had a child a year for 10 years. As my mum is no longer with us i cannot ask.

I already have the birth for one of there children you found last week Nellie Shepherd Riddoch who was born in 1919.

I know some of the names were Robert, Elizabeth, Mary, maybe a Herbert and a John.

Hopefully you can help

many thanx
