Is anybody able to look up Mary Durrace , I dont have a dob for her but her daughter Charlotte was born in 1873 so I am estimating 1853. She married a Robert Frew but other than that I have no details and dont know what to try next.I have the marriage certifiacte of charlotte and it says on it father Robert Frew and ms durrace so i am assuming the maiden name is right. |

The best way you will get the info is to register on Scotlands people, you need to pay for credits but it is a nominal fee. Once you have found the info required you can download copies of the certificates. |

Where in Scotland? It's easier to search if one has some idea of at least the county............ |

As your info seems so limited, I must endorse the advice given above about registering with Scotlands people.......... |

This is great I am sure this is the right family , you found it so quickly as well. I thank you very much. I dont know where I go wrong with scotlands paople but I never can get anything from it. The only place I have ever managed to work from is the family research site. I cant remember but I thought the dates in Scotlands people didnt cover what I was looking for. Probably me not using it right. |
