I have been researching my hubbys fam for a long time and was doing well...Most of his pat.fam.came from Shetland and their records are fantastic....His mat.fam. came from Glasgow and the N.E. of England...Unfortunately I believe that William Morrison in Scotland is like John Smith in England...

I have amassed lots of certs. and have found that death certs from Scot. were really informative and gave not only a wifes name and maiden name but also any previous wives names...until I got hubbys. mat.G/fathers death cert...it only showed his G/mother as the wife and not his previous wife...I know that the William Morrison I am looking at was married as a young man before 1914 and widowed before 1914 as this is when he married hubby's G/mother...it says widow on marriage cert...I have spent a fortune on Scot.People trying to find the right first marriage but with no avail....What makes it worse is that a search for a death of a female Morrison between 1911 and 1914 give lots of results and even results of young married women who were not called Morrison when they died but that was their maiden name before marriage....goin round in circles ...I would appreciate any thoughts on how to find this marriage especially as there may be a child...
Hope this sounds clear to you all ...The William Morrison I am looking for was born in 1886 and died 1962...he married Annie Taylor Orr 1914...these events all took place in Glasgow...His mother was Elizabeth nee Paterson and his father John...

Is this in Essex?..if so anyone remember a family called Passmore...they owned a little grocery and greengrocers shop there in the 50's.....Researching this family and have not got a lot of info...Fred was a cockney or an Essex boy as he had that accent....His wife Margaret was a small lady who was also a Londoner...I do not think they had any children..She died a while before him I think of M.S.  Fred and Margaret would have been born in the early years of the 20th Century....just clutching at straws at the moment...thanks

Looking for the Barden family descendants of James Barden b.1859 Waldron and Eleanor Jennor B.1863
 Lewes especially their son William James b.1884  Brighton who married Zilpah Evans b.1886 Steyning.thanks

this has almostly certainly been mentioned before...how to search a name without getting everything that the name is contained in.....e.g.I want to search the name Orr and am getting every post with morrison,sorry,norris,florrence etc ...am I doing it wrong?
