Hi,
I am looking for some help with Elizabeth Kirkwood, she was born 28/3/1718 Tranent, I don't have her parents names of her dod, I have done a search on s/p website but not been successful yet. She married George Fairgrieve 1745, Pencaitland, I do have their children names and dob's. I am also hoping to find out if Elizabeth had siblings.

Thank you for the certificates. I have done a search on s/p and found Alexander and Christian's dom, the same as the 1 you have mentioned. I also have names of the children, however on the search it has Christian surname spelt Catherwood, a Ann Kirkwood dob 2/10/1726 Tranent, John 21/10/1711 Prestonpans, Peter 30/1/1715 Prestonpans and Robert 5/8/1722, do you think all the children are Alexander and Christian's. There is Elizabeth as well 28/2/1720 Tranent.
