Hallo, Cienna.
Could you let us know roughly the years you are looking for?
All the best

Hi Philip,
I have some dates that I think are wrong, but not entirely sure.....somewhere between 1866-1890's.
There should be around 7 children and I was given a date of marriage for William and Mary, there again I don't know if it's correct......thank you for you reply.
Cienna.

Lots of information at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk including the record of their marriage in Lanark on 18 July 1851.
The index at https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/igi does indeed list 7 children born between 1857 and 1871, including twin girls in 1868. The originals of all these birth certificates are available at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk as above.
There are probably other children born between 1851 and 1854 who are not in the surviving registers of baptisms. The 1861 census, also available at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, may list additional children.
Mary Bryce or Main died in Lanark in 1901, aged 70. Her death certificate, also from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, should tell you the full names of both her parents, including her mother's maiden surname, and it will say whether or not she was a widow, which will help to find William's death and hence his parents.
Scotland's People is pay-per-view but modestly priced.

Thank you Forfarian, this is a lot of info to go through, maybe now I will get somewhere, I thought the years ranges I was given may have been wrong looks as though I was wrong.......very much appreciated.

Let us know how you get on, and don't hesitate to ask again (on this same thread - don't start a new one!) if there's anything else you need help with.

That is so very kind of you Forfarian, thank you so much, I am at the moment just plodding along trying to gather what I can......it's been a long process due to receiving a lot of wrong info and dates but slowly working it all out, your help is very much appreciated thank you again.

From the 1861 census there appears to have also been a Thomas and John born before 1855.

Hi fancy nancy,
Thank you for your reply, I am helping a friend with his family tree and he comes down the line of William MAIN/Mary BRYCE.
His grandmother was Jessie MAIN twin daughter for William and Mary MAIN of Nemphlar (Lee Castle Estile) Lanark, Scotland, them being his g-g grandparents.
Has he been given the wrong info? I will not be able to give him a print out if in fact it's incorrect, I also have a newspaper article stating Jessie's golden wedding anniversary and it does state she is the twin daughter of the above mentioned......I will have do more research before giving it to him.
I also have that Jessie was married to John CARSWELL....totally confused now.....
Cheers
Cienna.

You might not know that the names Janet and Jessie are used interchangeably in Scotland. Your Jessie who married John Carswell is the one whose birth was registered as Janet.
Golden rule: if you mislay a Janet, look for Jessie; if you mislay a Jessie, look for Janet!
Janet Main and John Carswell were married in Lanark in 1891. See www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for details.

Thank you Forfarian, so much for explaining that to me, so all is not lost, thinking I had the wrong info I was going to delete and start again...very much appreciated.
Cheers
Cienna ;D

Hi.
I have the copy of Mary Bryce Main and her twin sister Janet Mains' birth certificate and they were born in Nemphlar near Lanark on the 11th of November 1868. parents William Lockhart Main and Mary Bryce who were married in Lanark on the 18th July 1851.
As it was mentioned earlier in Scotland Janet becomes Jessie in lots of families
-
Hi,
Thank you for the correct birth date, I was unaware the name Janet can also be Jessie, we have her as Jessie but I have added she was registered as Janet, I was very confused on that and almost deleted and started again....glad I didn't.
cheers
Cienna.

On my tree I go back as far as William's mother and father who died in 1866 and are buried in Lanark. I found their grave. I also have Mary's mother and father. I do not have dates yet as I am still searching the same line.
-
I am still trying to get enough together to print out for the person I am helping, do you know anything of the Nemphlar (Lee Castle), Lanark, being in the LOCKHART family?.
I have some info but I have no connection to work on, if you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers
Cienna.

Thank you both, what a magnificent castle Forfarian, thank you for the link.....thank you fancy Nancy for your offer to help, what I am trying to link is William LOCKHART (B) around 1696, Birkshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
I have some info that the LOCKHARTS were actually living there and I would like the link if any to William LOCARD then his son Simon........the name spelling seems to have changed.
William Lockhart MAIN and his Mary BRYCE wife's daughter was actually married there at the castle, William parents were John MAIN and Christina LOCKHART......I need to know if Christina was linked to the LOCARDS.....
Thank You
Cienna.
