Find Living Relatives

William's middle name was Maclean, he was born on the 14/4/1882 in Elgin Scotland. His parents were William Rough and Isabella Maclean. William married my 2x gr Aunt Helen Lawrie Selkirk on the 17/7/1901 in Edinburgh. Not sure when William and Helen moved to England. I found Helen's date of death on the 24/7/1973 in Reading. I haven't found a date or place of death for William .

Does William Rough have a middle name, and do you know when he moved to England?
Thanks

Okay thanks everyone,
regards Nadia

Nadia, there doesn't appear to be a marriage in England or subsequent births to the couple, that is why looking at Scottish records has been advised, they are only available on Scotland's people.

Helen and her husband William moved to Reading England. I'm in touch with most of Helen's brothers and sisters (listed above from 1891 census) descendants but no one in the family knows anything with regard to Helen and her family.

I was merely trying to help.................... I thought you were unsure about whether or not they had children

The advice about looking in 'search all trees' is sound............it would appear that several members other than yourself have Helen in GR trees.

No i don't have the death cert but it's certainly an idea. Thanks for the information regarding year of death.

Have you got the death certificate of either of them to see who the informant was?
It could be a relative.

Hello,
My name is Nadia Stevens and i'm trying to find descendants 0f my 2x great Aunt Helen Lawrie Selkirk who married William Rough. Helen died in 1973 in Reading, England and i think her and her Husband William had a son who they also called William after his father. I do not know if they had any other children.

Hope someone can help,

Nadia
