Hello, I am rubbish at these things. This is the birth record of my great grandmother.
Can anyone read what it says? I know her name was Amelia Henderson Brand, I think she was born 21st November 1881. But I can't read anything else, or who her parents were, where they were and date married.
Any help would be most welcome, thanks
I am having trouble uploading it, will try again, it says it is too big, but i don't know how to down size it. Can I send it to someone via private message on here ? Hopefully it will upload.

We are not allowed to load the whole certificate. Have you tried cropping a small part of it
-
Hopefully this works
-
Could it possibly read: Born Dennistoun, Lanark, Scotland. Parents: David Brand and Mary Scott
-
I have know idea, why I have asked on here. But yes it could maybe. Thanks
-
Agree with Parents David/Mary Brand.
Married 17 Dec 1880 Kenmuir?
Father a Police Constable.

Married 17 dec 1880 Kenmuir. Address 11 Armfield st, glasgow. David a police constable. Last post was before you posted the certificate 😉

So are they all Mary Scotts and David brands children, or are any of them his new wife's ? It confuses me.
-
Hard to know exactly, these Children are definitely Mary Scotts as she is still alive in 1891;

You would need the Marriage to a Alice to see if William c 1892 is Mary or Alices child.

Mary Brand or Scott died in Camlachie (Glasgow) in 1897 age 40. David Brand married Alice Reid or Smith in Dennistoun(Glasgow) in 1899. From SP indexes.

Parents David BRAND and Mary SCOTT
Excellent Isobel :)
So all children are Davids with Mary Scott on 1901 Census.

Thanks so much, can you by any chance read this one too? I have loads of records I have brought, but I can't read half.
Also I have been looking to buy the 1911 census for Amelia Brand, who would of been married by then to Robert Wallace and having my grandmother Mary Scott Wallace, but can't find that anywhere.
But can anyone make out the parents address if any, or birth place and the mothers maiden name?
I think it also might say the father is a baker?
Thanks

I think it's 11 Annfield Street. David and Mary Brand are there in 1881.( Unless my subscription site has transcribed it incorrectly ) ;D
I would agree on Annfield Street as the letter 'r' is quite distinct (a different shape) elsewhere on the doc.

Amelia's address is Police Buildings, Great Eastern Road ( thanks Rosinish!) and her groom is living at 732 Gallowgate, Glasgow. His father is Robert Wallace, who is a Baker, and his mother is Sarah Wallace nee Clark.

Robert Wallace, Agricultural Implement Fitter, 732 Gallowgate, Glasgow
Mother's maiden name Clark
Amelia Henderson, Confectionery Worker, Police Buildings, Great Eastern Road, Glasgow
Mother's maiden name Scott

Amelia and Robert are in Camlachie in 1911 living with Robert's parents, Robert age 63 and Sarah Jane Clan ( think this is probably Clark) age 59. Amelia is down as Archie Henderson Wallace (female age 29) on Scotlandspeople! No sign of Mary Scott Wallace, but there is a Robert age 6. Ref is 644/2 11/28. You would need to check the census on Scotlandspeople to make absolutely sure what it says, but I'm pretty sure this is them.

Mary Wallace (age 5) is with her grandparents David and Alice Brand in 1911. They are in Camlachie 644/2 28/13. There is also a David Wallace age 3 listed with them. Possibly David Brand Wallace born Camlachie 1907. He appears to have died in Lennoxtown in 1998 age 91.
