Hi,
I have just discoverd a knew branch of my family from forfar, but i am not sure where to start as i don't know the area very well, could somebody help me please 
The info i have is that the parents are Robert Milne and Elizabeth Webster. One of their kids George, was born 12 oct 1847 Menmuir Angus. He was my great great great granpa. He married martha steel in inchinnan, lanarkshire in 1870. He is described as a storekeeper.
Elizabeth died in nov 1901 at 19 montrose road, forfar. Her father was john webster, linen weaver and her mother was isabella lumsden (?)
I am having trouble finding the milnes on the census. I can find george and his wife in 1881 but that is it!
Could anyone piont me in the right direction? I would really appreciate that.

wow joe!
thanks, you are good at that! i can never find anything on the igi. i must be doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help. hopefully that will be enough to get started on this branch. It makes it harder because i don't know the area if you know what i mean. It's hard tto build a picture of their lives.
thanks again, caroline

poppysmum, Is that a typo re George's marriage?
The only similar marriage I can see in the IGI in 1870 is:
*George MILNE married Jane ALLAN, 6 Dec 1870, Inchinnan, Renfrewshire
A parent search in the IGI (enter George Milne in the father boxes, Jane Allan in the mother boxes, and select British Isles as the region) brings up the following children:
*Jessie Gemmel MILNE, b 7 Mar 1871, Shotts Lanarkshire
*Robert MILNE, b 14 Nov 1872, Govan Lanarkshire
*George John Gordon MILNE, b 28 Jul 1874, Govan Lanarkshire
There may well be more but the IGI cuts out ca 1875 for births from the Scottish Statutory Register.
Regards,
JAP

hi you lot,
thanks for the help, especially how to use the family search site, i didn't know you could look for childen of a couple. i am going to sit down with all this today and try and get my head round it all. It is exciting finding an 'exotic' branch of the family  I live in the scottish borders so it is quite far away
