hales/ hailes family search
« on: Sunday 27 August 17 10:42 BST (UK) »
 Hello everyone, I have found my MEREDETH HALES  age 30 a lodger in new monkland in 1851 census........I then find him MERIDITH HAILES,  wife written as meridith as well and children mary age 6, agnes age 4 and elizabeth age 1 living in bo'ness 1861 census.
 MEREDITH HALES married MATILDA SLOANE 21 aug 1854 in bo'ness, the childrens births have mothers christian name as MARTHA.  I have found MEREDITH HAILES death 1864 in bo'ness and MARTHA HAILES death also 1864 bo'ness.  I have tracked down the child AGNES.
Would anyone be able to help me possibly find the two other children MARY and ELIZABETH?  Also if possible who MEREDITHS parents were, the census say he was born IRELAND.

Any help greatly appreciated
thank you from Heather

Does his death certificate not tell you? If not, then your chances of finding the names of his parents are slim.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Have you actually viewed the death certificate for Meredith ?

There is a record for Elizabeth Hailes Scotlands People  (transcribed as Nailes on anc...)   

Age 11 at Bo'ness Linlithgow Combination Poorhouse

You could also check out this marriage for Mary Hailes 1882 Linlithgow to a Joseph Newlands
Scotlands People ref 668/3

Might be a possible marriage
