Hi Joe & Mags

It might well be.

They married 1898 in Hoddom. If Mags goes to Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk she can view the certificate and download it. It will, as you know, give their parents names  ;)

I tried posting this last night before mags reply but but Roots went down.Then it told me I wasn't me and there was a database error and has been whirring around for aggggggggggggges and it was still down this morning.

It would seem that they were both born circa 1875. In the meantime, I've had a look for your father's birth - if he was born after 1906, it wouldn't be on SP.
