The Lighter Side / Where do you live?
« on: Thursday 23 May 24 17:54 BST (UK)  »
I like to look on Rootschat most days.  People comment on the weather etc. or some other event.  I
sometimes click on the contributor so see what area they live in.  It would be really nice if they had added some clue as to their location.  Nothing specifice obviously, unless of course they choose to.

The Common Room / Bigamy
« on: Friday 01 March 24 10:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
Can I have some help please to this question?
If someone committed bigamy and was convicted for the offence would the marriage still be recorded as usual.  For example on Freebmd etc.
Thanks for reading

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Smith family Aberdeen
« on: Monday 19 February 24 10:56 GMT (UK)  »
Help please.  I am trying to assist a friend who would dearly love to find some information on her father's family.  This is all she has.
Marriage 1948 Cambridge
Alexander James Smith 19 R.A.F. abode Waterbeach father Alexander Smith factory stoker
Bride (all researched)
Sometime after 1950 Alexander returned to Aberdeen and married a lady called "Betty".
My friend visited her father in Aberdeen 1972/3 She thought his date of birth was 26th April 1929 but Scotlandspeople could not find a match with the info I gave them.

I have purchased this marriage certificate. Scotlandspeople.
4th Aug. 1928 St. Nicholas Church Aberdeen.
Alexander Smith 26 Loco Stoker f. Alexander Sutherland Smith dec. Royal Navy Stoker.
Jane Lynch 28 Warehouse Assistant f. James Lynch Iron Dresser.

I think the following information relates to their son. (Who could be the person I am looking for)
Alexander James Smith marries Elizabeth Janet Riddell 1956 Leslie Aberdeen.
Electoral Reg. Aberdeen
Alexander J Smith Elizabeth J. Smith 68 Ferryhill Road Aberdeen 1957
Alexander J Smith Elizabeth J. Smith 48 Balmoral Road Aberdeen 1964-1973 (This could fit daughters visit in 1972/3).

Alexander J Smith d.1995 Insch Aged 66 mmn Lynch.
Elizabeth J. Smith d. 2016 Inverurie mmn Copland.
From Scotland & N. Ireland death index.
Mrs. Elizabeth J Betty Smith b. 8th Aug 1927 d. 1 Aug. 2016 Insch aged 89 years. (Her parents died Insch)
I don't want to waste anyone's time, I have researched all the Smith, Lynch and Riddell families I have mentioned.
What I am asking for is any ideas you might have to help me to prove this theory one way or the other.
My only thought is to purchase Smith/Riddell m.c. to see if he is a batchelor or divorced. etc.
Sorry such a drawn out tale and thankyou for reading.
