My Grandfathers name was James Wallace born 10/03/1920, I know that he was from the Lanarkshire area (He married my grandmother Margaret Cunningham of Shotts born 20/07/1920)
I also know thaat he had 1 brother Alex Wallace who married a Mary Gilbert and also 3 sisters: -
Agnes Wallace married Terry MacMation (sp)

Margaret Wallace who married Andrew Swan
But I am unable to establish who their parents are
Please help

Hi Amanda,
If its your Grandads parents you're after you'll have to get his Birth certificate, same with your nan, and their parents names will be on them.
You then try and work back from there, you'd start by looking at the 1901 census and so on for your Gt Grandparents with their families.

Hi Hudggy,
The reason why i suggested getting birth certs for them both is because i thought she wanted to know who the parents were for her Nan + her Grandad.
With a Marraige cert you only get the Fathers name, sometimes you dont get much forward with just the fathers name...(talking from experience, and then i've still had to get the birth cert )

Hi Hudggy
I've just realised where this posting is......Scotland Board.
Sorry, my mistake, on our marraige certs we only have the Father's name put down for the bride and groom.
Forgot the Scottish are more lucky than us for their Certificates.
My Apologies

Hi Amanda,
I bought several certificates for you happily.
I did say, with the info from the extract you have on the Birth of your grandfather, you need to contact scotlands bdm
to get the full certificate, IT WON"T COST MUCH.
then go from there.
with the extra info, re bothers and sisters marrying.
I am presuming that, they all married after 1928.
Do you know of any of the siblings dying at a young age before 1958.?
All in all............
You are going to have to buy that birth certificate!
I'll wait for your reply.
