Looking for Parents
« on: Friday 05 January 07 22:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi List

I'm looking for information on William Brown b 1/3/1817 in Galashiels.  I'm having some trouble tracing William's parents.

Thanks

Hi Joe

How are you?  William Brown married Alison Small - his occupation was a woollen weaver.

Thanks Joe

I'm new to this and Jean started off for me cos I hadn't done it before.  I can't find any details for William's parents. he was born in 1817 but now i know he was in different village it might be easier.

thanks Audrey
