Its me once again,
Now that you have helped me with Alexander Harp c.1783 Duffus Moray. I need to find
who his parents & any siblings were.
I have in my notes 2 possibles: James Harp 1751 & Isbel Clinis or James Harp & Catherine Dixon.
These were from LDS so may not be anything at all to do with my 4x Gt Grandfather Alexander Harp.
Any info appreciated
Regards

Hello bettyespana
Have no credits for Scotlands People. However - a free search shows that in all of Scotland from 1855 to 1900. there are only 2 Alexander Harp deaths. No point in searching before 1855 - as it won't show his parents.
Birth - Narrow it down to 10 years either side of 1783 and only 1 death entry.
This one dies in Aberdeen(shire) in 1862
If this is your man - his death entry should give his occupation, wifes name and if she is alive, also both parents names and occupation of father.
You should be able to narrow him down from census records, and from wifes death entry.
Minimum spend on SP is £6. Gives possibility to download 5 diferent 'extracts'.
Regards, Steve
If this is your man
As a bonus there are 2 entries in the 'Wills' sections of www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk both will cost £5 to download - you don't use 'credits' - you put them in a basket then purchase them at a check out as you would with Amazon or similar sites.
1 Harp Alexander 14/07/1863 Lighthouse Keeper in Aberdeen T. 14/07/1863 SC1/37/52/p139 See Also SC1/36/53/1 Aberdeen Sheriff Court Wills SC1/37/52 VIEW (£5.00)

Update: Just found links to your previous messages. The above MUST be him. :O)

This is a will and an inventory. The inventory is a list of his possessions, and the will is his instructions on what to do with them. If you don't want to pay two lost of £5, the will is likely to be more useful.
