Title: Alexander Grant and Hannah McKenzie
Post by: scoobie2010 on Sunday 19 April 15 22:19 BST (UK)

I am wondering if anyone can help with the following brickwalls. I have the following information;
Alexander Grant son of Daniel {Donald} Grant and Elizabeth Mckay. Alexander married Hannah McKenzie in Caithness in 1883. They had the following children;
Mary b 1884. I have her in census records up to 1891 then loose her. 1st brickwall.
Elizabeth b 1886 she died young in 1918.
Christina b 1887. I have her up to 1901 in census and loose her. 2nd brickwall.
Dolina b 1889. I have her up to 1901 then loose her. 3rd brickwall.
William Alexander b 1890 died 1892.
I have tried a little on Scotlands people but have lost many credits tracking the girls. Any information would be gratefully received.
Cheers.

Given their birthyears they were probably married by 1911 but have you tried looking for them on the 1911 census just in case?

Otherwise - the only way to find marriages for them is Scotlands People and the 1911 census is only available on that site as well

Thanks CaroleW for your reply. I have found Dolina in 1911 in Edinburgh. Harder with the others having more common names.
Cheers.
