LOOKING FOR MY COUSINS WHO LEFT GREENOCK SCOTLAND IN THE EARLY 6O's THEY ARE MY DADS TWIN BROTHER AND FAMILY. WHO WERE DAVID AND JESSIE NOW DECEASED THEIR CHILDREN RICHARD, THERESA, ALEX., DAVID AND JESSIE. CAN ANYONE HELP?

Welcome to genesreunited, Ann

Have you got years of birth for your cousins?

Have you got death information for their parents?

Do you know where they went to - somewhere else in Scotland, to England, to the other side of the world?

Thank-you

Assuming David & Jessie married in Greenock, this is probably their marriage:

1941 PORTER DAVID JEFFERS
MCKINNON JESSIE
GREENOCK EAST /RENFREW 564/01 0259


If so, David was born 1917:

1917 PORTER DAVID JEFFERS M GREENOCK EAST /RENFREW 564/01 0239

and yes, there is the birth of a brother (564/01 0238)

David died in London - so do you mean the family went abroad and then came back, or just that they left Greenock, as Patchem has also asked?

PM from Ann:


All the info you have is correct David's marriage to Jessie and his death in 1984.From Greenock they went straight to London.i dont know any birth dates of the family but at a guess the two youngest were born between 1952 and 54. that would be Alex and Jessie I know was the youngest.

Tthanks Ann

If all the children were born in Scotland, we need scotlandspeople website to be back up to look at birth information.
