Hi everyone i'm searching for my fathers birth mum from Clackmannshire.
Her name was Elizabeth Kennedy then changed to Craig born in 1923.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Did it change to Craig because she married ?

You would need Scotlands People for her birth and then any marriage etc

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

Jan, this lady could still be alive and may not want her date of birth and maiden surname posted on the internet.

Have you looked on Scotlandspeople for a possible death please? You can search using both her maiden surname and married surname . You can also reduce the number of results by entering an approximate year of birth.

As she could easily be alive, you should remove her exact DOB

Have you looked for her in 'search all trees'?

This looks a possibility.

You can order the death certificate from Scotlandspeople to check if the parents details are correct and if so there will also be the name and address of the informant to follow up.

I was wondering if you may be related to Janet Ross who married William Kennedy.

Hi I'm not sure, as there are many Kennedy's and Craig's out there that aren't related.
I'm not sure what siblings she had.
Thanks
