Hello,
I am trying to find details on my ancestors: David Ross and Catherine McKinnan. 
I do not know when they were born, nor exactly where, except that it was 'in Rosshire'. 
Catherine's father was Alexander McKinnan

David and Catherine married at Canongate, Edinburgh 2 September 1807 and it is from this record that I gained the extra information.

(I am going to post this same message on the Edinburgh forum as well - just in case)

I know that my information is not very detailed but here's hoping! 

Bye for now

PS
David and Catherine had a daughter named Isabella who married James Tweedie, moved to London, where they had a tailor's shop, and died in the London cholera epidemic

Hello,

I am trying to get some information on Sidney Long.

I only have him recorded in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

1901 he is aged eight and living with my great-grandfather Arthur Owen and his partner Emily Jane Owen at 26 Copenhagen Place, Limehouse

1911 he is aged 18 and living at Copenhagen Place with Arthur and Emily.  He has no occupation.  I don't think that he is anything to do with Emily because Arthur wrote that Sidney was his nephew in 1911 and living there at the same time was Henry Brett who Arthur writes is 'wife's brother'...

In both instances he is listed as being Arthur's nephew but there is no one who I can think of in the family who's child he might be and no one married a 'Long'.  I thought about illegitimate children but I can't see why they would disguise his surname. and call him Arthur's nephew.

It is difficult. 

I cannot seem to find anything in the FreeBMD.

I know nothing about him apart from the census returns, and no one ever spoke of someone named Sidney Long being part of the family, however Arthur was somewhat estranged from his children in later life.

Can anyone assist?

Bye for now

Hello,
Is anyone able to look up the burial records for Desborough for me?
I am looking for the surname Flude and in particular Randall and Mary. They may be other burials of Fludes there too.
They were alive in 1791 and I am 90% certain that they lived and died in Desborough.  I say 90% because they earlier lived in the Langtons, just over the border but when I was back in England recently I was able to check the records and could find no burials for them.  I did visit the churchyard but if they had had them, there are now no legible gravestones with this surname.

Randal and Mary were born in 1740s/50s.

If any one is able to look these up for me it will be a huge help because even if they were not buried there at least it can be crossed off the list of possibilities..

Thank you and bye for now

Hello,
I have just stumbled across what might be an exciting record . . . although it might not be because of course, in FT Research, nothing is simple nor always what it might seem 

The record was located on the IGI and is this:

David Rees married Ann Lee 26 June 1799 at the Church of St Mary de Crypt, Gloucester.

I want to find out more about this record. 
Is anyone able to help? 
Is David a bachelor or is he widower.  Who were the witnesses?  Does it say that David comes from a different location to GLoucester? 
Also I wonder if there was any mention of this in a local newspaper.

Thank you
Kirk
