Crosbie
« on: Sunday 10 July 05 13:54 BST (UK) »
This is driving me mad and if anyone can help me i would be a very happy girl!

margaret Browne CROSBIE was born 1899 to David CROSBIE & Janet G M SCOTT.
Both David & Janet were still alive when Margaret got married in Glasgow in 1919.

I have the marriage cert for david and Janet showing David to be age 19, mothers name Ellen CROSBIE, Housemaid.
No father is mentioned.

I have got on fine with janets side of the family,but getting no where with this,
In 1901 census Janet is ofund with her parents and baby Margaret in Wigtown. No sign of david. Janet is noted as married,Bakers wife.

I have searched everywhere for David and so far managed to almost attach myself to two incorrect trees.

I searched the births on Scotlands People, giving me 3 options
1880 born Edinburgh, St Cuthberts. Not him. (thought it was for a while tohugh as mothers name was Helen CROSBIE on this one.
Also
1880 Davis George Kirkudbright
1879 David Irving, Milton, Dumfries

None of them matched.

I am looking for some kind soul to help me out! This is driving me mad!!
I have tried everything i can think of. If anyone can help me at all i would be extremely grateful! Perhaps some fresh eyes are needed on this one!

Many thanks
Amanda
