I am trying to find my relatives who are in Scotland. My grandparents never really told me about the family back in scotland, My grandpa (George McGowan) 19th June 1937 and grandma (Anna Gordon White) 10th May 1938 got married in 1960, they had three children Ann-Marie, Linda and (Martin - my father). They moved to Australia in 1971, I know that my grandpas fathers name was Miles but sadly that's all I know , if there's someone out there who have either of my grandparents In their family and can help it would be greatly appreciated ,

you say are living in scotland but moved to Australia

where do you think they are living now

you could find their marriage on Scotlands People but you would have to buy the cert through them for full info

edit or is it relatives who may still be in scotland

No I was born in Australia but my dad, aunties and grandparents were born in Scotland, I have ordered my grandparents birth certificates off Scotlands People to find out my great grandparents names to see if it makes it easier

i dont have any units to look at the info but births usually give the marriage date and place of the parents as well as their names

Cant help with marriage certs as have never ordered one

think you need the marriage cert for ages etc for any more searches as it would be easy to follow the wrong family

Luke

Luke Report 5 Jul 2017 11:23

Yeah I will wait for the birth certificates and I'll order the marriage certificate and then I'll get started

Found a George McGowan ( could be your Dad ) with 2 Isabella's and a Myles McGowan on the 1960 E.R on ancestry, living at Pensfield road, Craigton, Glasgow

And at the same address in 1958, no George , possibly to young , but there are both isabella's plus a Francis. and Myles.
