Hmmm, wonder if this is John!

John Smith, dated: 21/04/1849, sergeant in the Royal Artillery, residing at Kelso

11 pages = £5 - bargain. Cheesy Available at SP.

PS. Yes, that was 1861. Didn't make that clear. Embarrassed

Quite a few Elizabeth Oswalds showing on the IGI b. circa 1800 - one in Sedgefield but we really need her death cert - I'll ahve a look also - maybe England - Thomas b.c. 1870 in Sedgefield!

annoying - a few deaths showing circa 1870 in the 'broad' Sedgefield area  Undecided

Hi hume

I think arti should purchase that will from SP that you've found - we've done a lot with our credits and the will will give him more info - and for £5 it's , as you say, a bargain  Smiley

Arti - I'd' be buying it if it was my ancestor  Smiley

Quite a lot of avenues for you to follow, arti. Think the elder John Smith will be difficult to trace, but his will may reveal a lot of clues. Here's hoping. Cheesy

How do I go about acquiring funds and the  exchange between euros and dollars?    Money is not the issue.   Appreciate your help. Smiley Smiley Smiley

This ScotlandsPeople page should help you out, esp. the "Payment process" section.

Wills are purchased differently from credits (to use on certs, etc.) but they are mentioned and explained on the same page.

Thank you So Much, hume24!  Smiley

I will be pursuing the direction that you and gadget recommended;- ie., obtaining transcripts from the government of Scotland.

If anyone out there has more information that would/could shed light on this family of (John) Thomas Smith and Margaret Bleakie , please use this forum - this internet discussion group to share knowledge.

Much obliged to you Gadget for being so diligent, and getting the 'ball rollin!'  Smiley Smiley Smiley     arti
