As noted by Torrie, Beatrice was born in Port Bannatyne in Bute in 1887, her parents being Duncan, a fisherman, and Betsy (Elizabeth) McBRIDE, who were married in Kilfinan in 1876, just across the water from Bute.

The 1876 marriage shows the parents as Allan LIVINGSTON and Janet LIVINGSTON  MS  McINNES[S] , and Alexander McBRIDE and Isabella McBRIDE  MS  McALISTER.

Janet LIVINGSTON MS McINNES died in 1855 in Lochaline in Morvern parish.

Allan died in Kilfinan parish in 1867, aged 78, parents Duncan LIVINGSTON and Mary CAMERON.  Back to this generation I can't see a connection to the missionary David LIVINGSTON, - but that's not to say that there isn't a connection in earlier generations !

WOW! Thank you so much for all this great information!

Before I pay for the birth certificate at Scottland's People, I was wondering how the site works...one credit for every certificate? What is it that I will be looking at when I pay to see a statutory Birth record...will it be a copy of the original or typed out information?
I can't wait to see her birth certificate (crossing fingers its the right one), as it will verify all the information from the census!!!!

Thank you again for all of your work!!

Torrie

The links I posted earlier are worthwhile having a look at before you start:

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24468.0.html - Researching in Scotland, in particular where to go to for records and what information is contained on certificates post 1855

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,43916.0.html - how to get the best out of Scotlands People, the official pay to view site for BMD and census original images.

Regarding your questions, this will be covered in the links above but briefly. You need to buy a minimum of 30 credits for £6GB. When you do a seach, it costs you 1 unit (£0.20) to view the search results and then 5 units (£1) to view the image of the certificate on line. You then can save the image on to your computer and print off.

What you are viewing is an image of the actual entry on the register.

Wullie has already kindly spent some of his own SP units looking at the images on SP it would seem  Smiley The information he included in his last posts confirms what we have been discussing, so certainly the birth certificate looks to be the right one from the information that Wullie has transcribed from the cert.

Hi Appinlad

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley

You need to have done 3 posts on the main forum  to be able to respond to PMs. So, just do one more here and you should be able to correspond with Torrie via the PM system.

Torrie

Attached is the marriage certificate of Beatrice and William.

I don't think I can send photos on PMs so did it this way. I also have a photo of Janet with (I believe) Catherine if you want and Aunt Kate (Catherine) taken at Sturgeon Lake in 1967.

WOWOWOWOWW

The kids are my cousins Pat and Dave they live in Oshawa and we still see each other once and a while...they are Victoria's kids!!!! I talk to Pat and Daves kids once in a while.

My Mother's family had a lot right next to the the one in the photo and she says that she was probably there at the time this photo would have been taken.

Who is the  other woman in the photo, if you know?

Amazing that this is all clicking into place. The older woman beside Kate is Mary McSporran on a visit from Scotland it was taken on Sunday  June 1st 1967.  When you say the woman in the background is one of Beatrice's daughters do you mean the one walking away towards the building?
