Argyllshire / Barbara Turner Grant
« on: Wednesday 18 January 12 19:06 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to fill in some blank spaces on my family tree and was wondering if anyone had any information on my Aunt Barbara Turner Grant born 1899-1900 at Portnahaven.  She married my fathers brother James Kirkpatrick in Glasgow in 1928, he was a police seargent with the Glasgow City Police.  I have no information on Barbara at all, other than her father was William Grant and mother was Mary Turner.  I don't know if she was an only child or had siblings.  Any information would be gratefully received

Can anyone tell me where Cannon's bike shop was in Dumfries.   My father said he used to go and visit the Cannon's and that they had a bike shop in English Street, Dumfries.  My gggrandmother was Anne Cannon and she married a James McGeorge from Kirkgunzeon.  The shop must have been there around the 1930-1940s.

South Africa / Craik
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 09:28 BST (UK)  »
This will probably be a long shot but I have been trying to trace my great uncle Adam Craik.  He was born in 1907 at Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire Scotland and he went to Africa in 1946.  He sailed from London to the Cape.  From information that I have been told he eventually went to Bulawayo and had a contracting business.  Not sure if this is correct.  He married a widow again been told that her name was Catherine Smith and they had a daughter Ann.  I can vaguely recall that Adam and his wife did come back to Scotland for a short holiday around 1960.

Any information would be gratefully received.

Dumfriesshire / Fraser/Renton
« on: Tuesday 10 May 11 19:14 BST (UK)  »
My great aunt Jeanie Fraser was born 1889 at Lochmaben, she was born Jeanie Richardson but just a few months after her birth her name was changed to Fraser.  She was the daugher of Margaret Richardson and John Fraser.  I can find her on the 1891 census at Cummertrees with her parents, unfortunately I can't find a trace of any of them on the 1901 census.  Jeanie's mother Margaret died and her father married Agnes Martin.  On the 1911 census the family are staying in the parish of Caerlaverock.  Jeanie had a sister Johnann (my grandmother) a brother William born 1897 and a sister Maggie born 1900 there was another sister Sarah don't have her date of birth.  I think Jeanie married a William Renton born around 1888 no idea where.  Can anyone help me.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Hepworth Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 12 July 09 12:32 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the family of my gg grandmother.  Her name was Martha Hill and she was born 1837 in Wetherby.  She married Robert Winter in 1856 but he died sometime between that date and 1861 as Martha is shown on the 1861 census as being a widow and had a son Thomas.  Martha then married Arthur Hepworth and they had 4 children, Mary born 1863, Herbert 1870, John 1872 and Percivale 1874 they all appear on the 1881 census but by the 1891 census Mary and Percivale are missing.  I have can't find anything out about Mary or Percivale.  In 1881 their address was 9 Belle Vue Road, Leeds and Arthur was a dealer in fine arts, their address in 1891 was 111 Belgrave Bradford.  Can anyone tell me where I would be best to look for Mary and Percivale and also a date of death for Martha's first husband Robert Winter.  I live in Scotland and it is easy to obtain copies of birth/death and marriage certificates through Scotlands People.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Wetherby Census
« on: Friday 24 April 09 11:28 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help.  My g grandfather Thomas Winter was born in Wetherby in 1859.  I have managed to track him down on the 1861 census for Boston Spa.  It is rather difficult to read but I think it says that his mother Martha was widowed.  Can anyone tell me where I should start to look to try and find out what happened to her husband.  Sorry but this is all the information that I have.
