This Address and Presentation to a Mr. James O ????
It was found behind an old picture in an old picture frame.
I cannot read the surname and does anybody know who the family are?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find out any information on an address in Whitburn. On my Uncle's birth certificate it shows  William Roberts born 11 February 1924 at 3 Dixon Terrace Whitburn. I am trying to find out if this was a small farm or maybe even a miners cottage ( as his father was a coal miner). Looking on my computer this area now looks like it may be an industrial area. Hoping someone can assist me.
        Regards  David

G'Day again

                   This is another headstone inscription from Bangor Abbey that covers my family. As you can see on the headstone that Henry Montgomery was married once before he married Agnes Harper. Of course you are right about the will extract being the right date of death as you found the birth of Jane Montgomery born April 1864.

                                 Are you kidding me?  ;D  My mouth is absolutely watering with this information. I am interested in every bit of what you and kingskerswell have posted. I do have some of that information but about 80% I have never seen before. I do have that headstone inscription and I did notice the difference in the years from Henry's will. I tend to think that the headstone would be right and the PRONI Will extract would be wrong. What do you think?
                You say you have more information, and I say please bring it on.

                 Many Thanks to you and kingskerswell      David Montgomery

    Thank you very much for that information. That really helps me a lot. In Henry's will it states that William John was in America. That is possible because when My G.G.Grandfather Hugh and his wife Agnes died in 1849, all their children went to live in America with Hugh's brother (his name was also Samuel G. Montgomery). I should say not all the children, because my G. Grandfather John Campbell Montgomery came out here to Australia to live.
     In the 1911 cencus Samuel G Montgomery had his niece staying with him and it stated that she Eleanor Montgomery was born in London. In the 1901 London Cencus Eleanor Montgomery's father was William J Montgomery so I presume that William J Montgomery was Samuel's older brother. Now that I know that William J was Henry's son I can now assume that Samuel G was also Henry's son.
      Now to find out if Samuel G had children in Bangor.
                                                                                            Many, Many Thanks,   David

G'Day
           I am looking for any information on Samuel G Montgomery who lived at 73 Princetown Road Bangor in the 1911 cencus. Samuel was born c. 1854 in Bangor. He also had at least 1 brother named William J Montgomery who was born c. 1852. The 1891 England census  states the William was born in Belfast. Samuel G. was a tailor in Bangor right up to 1915 that I know of.
           My G.G. grandfather Hugh Montgomery was a tailor and had a tailor shop in Main Street Bangor until his death in 1849 and I think the tailor shop was then run by Hugh's brother Henry. I am trying to determine if Samuel G. is related to Henry or is it just coincedince that another Montgomery had a tailor shop in Main Street Bangor. In the 1901 census Samuel G. Montgomery was living at 36 Main Street Bangor.
            Any help would be very much appreciated. :)

Hi Norrie
                  Can you please do a lookup and supply a photo of my great grandfather's headstone who died in Methillhill Wemyss in 1945
                   I am assuming that he would probally be buried in one of these cemeteries. If it can be done it would be very       
                   much appreciated.   Regards  David
