I have completely abandoned any attempt to understand what you are talking about at this point, I am afraid.

You have people in the other thread tracing the ancestry of a person who you have no basis for believing is the person you are looking for?

either the person who married in Hackney is the right one, or he isn't

if you have good reason to believe he isnt, what earthly basis have you got for picking one born years earlier than you first said, apparently at random?

This one is for Christopher born in Edinburgh 1942
And as I've said I called many people with this name and wasn't the right one
Managed to find another number for the woman and called her up with chatting and how things where the same in the currant situations,
So I'm sorry for posting about two different ones with the same names but different places of births

Aaaaa!

I don't understand why you said it was not the right person :-(

so my suggestion was correct all along ...

but your brother will be able to be in contact with his sister this way?

that is good news ... but I guess they don't know how to contact dad Christopher?


Lisa would you please remove the full date of birth from your post, it is against the rules

that he was born 1942 is all that is needed

It is the Same man that married Caroline and I am in contact with her now
He was born in Scotland and have his full date of birth
He has a brother called George,
So safe to say my brother has a sister
So yes I do pay attention and I traced her to her address and ask her

You really seem not to be paying attention at all.

I'm going to repeat what I am talking about.



there is a marriage for the name that matches your brother's father in 1970 in Hackney

4 years before the birth of your brother in Hackney

and that couple had only one child, 2 years after the marriage ... so maybe they were already separated in 1974 ... the bride remarried a few years later

I would get that marriage certificate ... if it says the groom is a chef you would know you had the right man

this is where to order certificates

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

and I sent you the details of the marriage by private message long ago, for ordering that certificate


It's so simple.

you get that marriage certificate for a marriage in 1970 in Hackney for a man with the same name as your brother's father

you see what it says.


Getting a letter saying 'it's not who I'm looking for' does not tell much info, how does that person know it is not who you are looking for, is that person being honest, etc?

why on earth would you not get that marriage certificate to see whether it tells you anything helpful?

Yes he has a brother called George Robertson

What would be the best way to search this as they was born in Edinburgh
But not sure on them maiden name

Could anyone advice me please

My problem was they never got married
I've wrote to many of the above name in question and got reply to them as not who I'm looking for,
I have since rang a lot of numbers up and had no joy with them

JoonieCloonie

JoonieCloonie Report 13 Aug 2015 18:51

yeah well good luck

I see my efforts were pointless I guess.

I have no idea why all these many months later you would not have got the marriage certificate I suggested, at the very least, if you still have not done that.

... or written to the address I gave you which is still current on the electoral roll (and the telephone number is still current in the directory at BT on line so I don't know what the problem with that was ...)

1956 we believe to be the year still searching and haven't found my brothers dad
If any any one has information please get in touch

Lisa would you like to share how you know this? --

'I now know the whole family was born in Edinburgh'

If you are getting information from someone, it is information we do not know and we do not know how reliable it is

doing searches based on you saying 'I now know' ... that could be wasting time if what you have been told is not reliable

as far as deleting your account, it seems rather pointless to delete something you have paid for before your time expires :-)

also as has been pointed out your post will always be here if you don't delete it, and someone who does an internet search anytime in future will be able to contact you, as long as you keep your email address current in your account ... and also click 'Watch This' up at the top so you get email notification of any replies in the thread, if you have not done that

Lisa, people are trying to help ( on all your various queries, however sparse the info you have given) but no one can do that unless you follow advice.

jax Report 20 Aug 2014 17:06

That's your choice Lisa

But an acknowledgement from you that you had done what was suggested, rather than start a new thread would have been good

It's not worth the way you get spoken (wrote) to

Lisa have you done any of the things suggested at all ??

there is nothing much else at scotlandspeople to 'have another look' at ... the search results will show no useful details and the birth certificates have to be ordered and paid for and cannot be read on line ...

if you had purchased the 1970 marriage certificate I suggested 4 months ago, you would have known long ago whether that was likely your CR for the price of a few pounds

There were seven Christopher Robertsons born in Midlothian 1940-60 - six in Edinburgh and one just outside.

One is just Christopher with no middle name, the others all have middle names, but not Alexander.
