Post by: lyndsey86 on Friday 27 July 12 20:13 BST (UK)
I am looking for Alexander who was born 1881, Inveresk, Innerwick, his parents were Alexander Dickson and Elizabeth Scott. Alexander married, this was on the marriage certificate m p h Duncan dom 27/4/1906, her parents were Peter Duncan and Margaret Porteous, I have done searches on s/p, and have looked at the records when I was in Edinburgh recently.

The family are on the 1891 census for East Lothian - do you already have that entry?

is the alexander your looking for from Inveresk or Innerwick two different places. there are about 2,600 Dickson's within a 5 mile radius of Inveresk so with alexander being a popular Christian name. may be difficult to find. do you have any surnames that have M P H that could be used for Christian names
