Valentine Family From Montrose

[Katie_Pettie]

Hi,

I'm not really sure if I am looking in the correct area or where to look for information, really. I'm trying to help my bother-in-law find out some more information on his dad's family.

The information we have already is pretty sketchy. All he knows is that his dad was a fairground worker called Keith Valentine(or could be Valentyne) who came from Montrose, in Scotland. Keith will be roughly 51/52 now and came to work in West Yorkshire on the fairground in the summer of 1975.

If anyone could please help with any information, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Katie

Hi Katie,
This might be a starting point for you.

On ScotlandsPeople*, there are 7 births of Keith Valentine (using Soundex) from 1855 until 1975.

One was born 1958 in Montrose, (Keith Raymond Valentine) - that would make him 50 (sorry, that's obvious!)
You could order a copy of the birth record for £10.

Hope this helps.

If this is the correct man, the birth record should give you parents names and ages and other snippets of info that will help you find out more about the family.

Hi, Keith Valentine is alive and well.
The story about him being a travelling fairground worker is a fairytale absolute BS, he came to Halifax stumpcross to be with C C (initials), he worked as a builder and worked on a renovation for a factory called Elsie Whiteley.
Would you the rest of the real story ? It is not for the public.
Keith left the UK in 1981 and will never return.
Direct contact with his son is possible . Is Steven spelled with a v or ph?
