Hi Andy

Think we chatted before

The grave is of susannah Muir nee Paterson died 1903

I have visited the grave yard but unlikely to be stone

And as typical in my case a fire or flood destroyed church yard records supposedly

So they do not no who is buried where

Midlothian / Re: Lasswade birth lookup request
« on: Wednesday 01 April 15 14:31 BST (UK)  »
thanks for the reply shanghai, but that family tree is mine i believe.

The births are not confirmed as they were obtained from the 1841 census hence the reason for looing for confirmation.

regards

I have found scotlands people site to be very poor as these sites go. The search returns are very vague giving pages and pages of hits each of which you have to use your tokens to just view, then even more tokens to see the actual records.

I have used of over 90 quids word of tokens without getting near any sort of useful information.


Hence the post...i know the LDS have micro fiches that have some entries for lasswade but i am nowhere near a centre (think there is one in edinburgh?) and remote lookup requests by there staff i think are very expensive (30 quid a shot)

Probably started by me, but at the time but no photos. But time changes with new people joining i thought it was worth a try to see if anyone had come up with something since.

Australia / Re: wanted information Edwin Muir
« on: Wednesday 01 April 15 11:04 BST (UK)  »
Thanks everyone for all the looks so far.

I can confirm that he is dead, but unsure of the date as it was whilst i was young and my father/mother are both dead so can't confirm details.

I can also confirm his birth details as found by one of the look ups, his father was James and mother annie.

Also regarding his army records i was the one who requested them, that is how i found out about the details of his discharge.

The bits i don't know are the details of his marriage, childrens birth or his death. I think he may have died at the hands of his wife, so i thought there might of beens some new paper reports on that but i have not found any as yet.

thanks

Australia / wanted information Edwin Muir
« on: Tuesday 31 March 15 16:38 BST (UK)  »
Hello I am trying to find any information on an uncle of mine who lived and died in Australia details are a little vague.

He was called Edwin Muir born about 1929 in England, after doing his national service he joined the Australian army around 1955 he was kicked out of the army (bad sheep of the family) Married a local Girl called Elizabeth I think and had at least 1 daughter.

There are a few articles about him on the Newspaper site and the Australian national archives detailing him Stealing an army jeep and getting kicked out of the army.

Think he died between 1975/85.

I know its very vague but any information that can be found would be most appreciated.

thanks for looking
