Title: James Smith and Margaret Ingram
Post by: themonkeymonkey on Thursday 22 March 18 16:11 GMT (UK)
Looking for birth/death dates of James Smith and Margaret Ingram married 15 Feb 1804, Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.  There is nothing on their marriage notice of any relatives or witnesses.  Does anyone else have them in their family tree please?
James was a tailor. Both were deceased by 1873.

What is the last census they are on?  Have you looked for deaths for them on SP?   If they died from 1855 onwards their death certs will show parents names and mothers maiden names.

Yes Ev that is my James!  Thank you for finding that.  I don't have them in any Census which was confusing me (and still is).
