Hi All,
Am after information regarding the surname Stalker. My Grandfather was David Stalker Wilson born 1883 in Alloa, his mother was Jessie Stalker born 1861 also in Alloa. So if you have any further info regard Jessie or David's siblings, parents, grandparents etc, would appreciate it.
Thanks
David

Hi again
I seem to have done some of this for you on an earlier thread:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,361904.0.html
Including:
The IGI, extracted has the birth of Jessie:
Little Dunkeld, Perthshire 29 April 1865 Janet Stalker
Parents - Alexander Stalker and Euphemia Whittet
Janet and Jessie are interchangeable names.

Will read it through and see what gaps there are

Wow, first off thanks for the very very quick reply. Where is the best place to get info on Scottish Genealogy, might get some credits for Scotlands People.
Cheers

Before you do any searching on SP , go to family search www.familysearch.org
Select IGI and put in Father's name as Alexander Stalker and Mother's name Euphemia Whittet
Under Region, select British Isles.
Under Country, select Scotland
Leave all other boxes blank
and press search

You should get:
1861- Isabella
1862 - Euphemia
1864 - Mary Ann
1865 - Janet
1867- Mary Ann
1869 - Peter
1871- Daniel
1873 - Catherine
All born Little Dunkeld
The later children b. Alloa would not show on IGI as it only goes to 1875
