I'm sorry if it turns out to be your father Fiona, it may though be worth you buying the death certificate in case a relative was the informant?

Further to that death

Perth, Scotland Newspaper Index Cards, 1809-1990 about Hugh MacKechnie
Name: Hugh MacKechnie
Publication Date: 23 Mar 1993

Gives place of death as Southampton, so it is possible that your father and half siblings were born Scotland?

If your father didn't marry the mother(s) of the other children, they are unlikely to be named Mackechnie

You have your father's birth as 1925...............were the other children born before you?

Are your half siblings older than you Fiona?

The only Flora Mackechnie birth registered in England Wales was in 2002

So unless you can tell us the surname(s) for these people, it's likely to be a dead end.

Have you looked in 'search all trees' to see whether anyone has your father's details on GR?

Yours is the only Mackechnie birth registered with your mother's maiden name.

So do you know whether your half-siblings were registered as Mackechnie..................and whether they shared one mother?

So, who are you looking for?

Your father's children?

Was your father married to your mother?..

Hi Fiona,

If it's an Australian query well there are 383 Mackechnie's in the Australia Birth Index from 1788 to 1922.

The more information you can supply will help us.

In view of timing of post........is this an Aussie/NZ query?

Fiona

Please read your post as though you were one of us...........would you be able to help?

Forenames, birth years, and birthplaces are VITAL

And please also say how much research you have done yourself................to avoid duplication of effort.

HI Fiona and welcome to the boards.

if you can give us some names and places so helpers have a starting point. A good start would be your dad's first name and year of birth and where he was born would be a great help.
