Lookup Margaret MARTIN (Nee DOCHERTY) - Hamilton/ Glasgow

[Hields]

Hello

From what I can see James Martin married Catherine Aird in 1939 in Blysthwood, Glasgow.
To follow the line the only way to be sure is to create an account on Scotland's People web site and down load the marriage certificate. The Scottish records are extremely helpful as they record the parents details. The Scottish birth record will also tell you the details of the parents marriage date & location. e.g find the marriage cert then the birth of James Martin. It may well lead back to James Martin and Catherine Docherty. If it does I have further information.The death record of your Catherine should also give further details.

The cost is £7.50 for 30 credits. Each certificate will cost you 5 credits and 1 credit to look at the index e.g in theory if you have the correct record you can get 5 certificates for your money. It is quite easy to use once you get used to it.

May I ask in which country you are in?

Happy to help.

Hello all

Not sure if this is the right way to work on Rootschat but hope OK.

Posting on behalf of my wife.  her grandfather was Thomas Martin, brother of George who married Florence Amelia Jones.  Thomas and George's parents were James Martin and Margaret Docherty  the lady in the photo - our side of the family remained in the Hamilton area in Scotland and we are still there; recently we have come across letters and photos from Florrie (Florence Amelia Jones) and have posted a separate thread looking for help in identifying two of the photos.  George and Florrie had child James William Martin who married Joan Lorraine (we don't have surname) and had four daughters - all in the Sydney area we think - this about 1960 time.

Would love to have any contact with the extended family and if we have any information of interest to any poster will be happy to share

Sandra and Thomas
