Have you viewed the original on SP as it should name the father given that he's recorded as 'Lamont Or Eadie'?

Thank you Trish and Annie,
Ironically, getting that birth certificate open many doors (3 steps forward) but then closed some (2 doors back).

It allowed me to go back three generations to Dunblane, where further success depends on a lot of hard detective work as everyone in Dunblane was called John in those days. I think even the womenfolk.

But the reason for the door closing was because suddenly I discovered that the parents of Isabella Lawson were not who we had long thought they were. We thought her parent were a William Lawson and a Jessie Smith from around Edinburgh which led to all kinds of interesting people...but alas, on the Eadie-Lawson marriage certificate, it says her parents were a Robert Lawson, a deceased ploughman and one Janet Trotter. The Trotter surname (meaning that I am related to Del boy and Rodney) appears in several of the Eadie-Lawson children so that certainly makes sense.\

However, finding Isabella's birth or anything about Lawson or Trotter is the next adventure!

I feel a trip coming on to central Scotland!

If still interested in her I would look at that on Scotlandspeople.

Agree Trish as it would name both parents, with mother's maiden name (if known to the informant).

Any thoughts on how to get more on Jane Lamont or John Eadie's father? I have tried some of the logical Ancestry.co.uk searches using these surnames, dates and areas but have drawn a blank.

If you do that, make sure to spend a couple of days in the Scotland's People Centre in Edinburgh before you go to Stirlingshire. Almost all of the surviving records you will want to see are in Edinburgh, and you will just waste your time and probably get frustrated if you try to go round churches looking for records.
