Good afternoon one and all,

I thought it was a simple task but it is far from that so far.

Q1. Has Scotland's People dropped any records off of their site?

Okay Here's the main reason for the thread.

My wife's great Grandfather was Archibald Morrison.
His father was James Morrison.
Mother Mary Morrison.

Here is a timeline of what I know so far:

1850: His parents married on 1 Jun in Kildalton and Oa, Argyll, Scotland
1851: Census [attached]. Parish of Inner High, 8 St Nicholas Street. at home are:
James Morrison Head Mar 49 Gas Lab born: Argyle, Kilmichael
Mary Morrison Wife 28 Born Argyle, Islay
John Son 5 Born Argyle, Islay
Archibald 3m Born Argyle, Islay
Sarah 10 Born Argyle, Islay
Ann 4 Born Argyle, Islay
a Lodger.
Jane Cameron Visitor 22 Born Argyle, Islay
Catherine Morrison 20 Born Argyle, Islay

1861: Census in Glasgow with parents but now Born Glasgow.
1871: census in Glasgow
1881: Census in Glasgow
1883: Archibald Married Margaret Ferguson McLaughlin in 1883, Glasgow [attached]
1891: Census in Glasgow
1901: Census in Glasgow
1923: Archibald died in Glasgow,

I can't find a Archibald Morrison from 1849 - 1852 on Scotland's People with a father of James and Mother Mary.

Q2. Any ideas where and when Archibald was born?

Thanks in advance,

Evening all,

I've been looking for John Palmer in Great Yarmouth c.1600.
I found this on FamilySearch.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J3XT-9GS

Scrolling though the records I've got to 1600 and July.
Firstly it says the 2nd
And I cannot make out whether John is listed.
May just be my tired eyes.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Looking for little confirmation on this Baptism Entry

Elizabeth daughter of William Stogdon was Baptised the 24th of October 1669.

Mostly it's Williams Surname I need clarifying (for my peace of mind)

Thanks in advance,

Hi all,

Please forgive me for being a bit vague and/or disjointed with this post.

My Grandmother Ottilie Kane died in the UK (London) in 1966 (on her 50th birthday no less).
She was buried on 29th March 1965
She was born in in 1915 in Austria.

She was buried in Camberwell New Cemetery, Brenchley Gardens.
I have the plot details.

This is were it gets a bit strange.

Her Husband John Kane is NOT buried with her. He died in 1988.


In the grave according to find a grave website is a Norina Kane.
It appears she was buried 29th October 1987

I have looked on Ancestry and FreeBMD, FindMyPast for any marriage between Norina and John but I cannot find one.
It appears from the GRO certificate index that Norina was born in 1915 (same as my Grandmonther).

I am confuzzled ... Any suggestions please?

Thanks in advance,

Good evening one and all,

A request before I got to bed.

I have this entry of one of the Wife's ancestors siblings.
Tisbury, Wiltshire.

I think it is

Jenny Daughter of Robert and Melior Obourne Baptised
It is the last bits I do not understand it looks like "Codem Die"

Can anyone assist.

Thanks in advance
