Selkirkshire / Andrew Ballantyne - Birth Certificate COMPLETE
« on: Saturday 22 October 11 17:18 BST (UK)  »
I have managed to find from Scotlands People the birth certificate for my gg Uncles and Aunts from the marriage of Andrew Ballantyne and Maria Millar (married 12th Oct 1865). My gg father was Andrew their first born 27th June 1866 but I can't find his birth certificate. I have them for this 6 siblings, William, John, James, Ann, Margaret and Walter all born between 1868 and 1880.

It seems strange that his is the only one I can't find him, they where all born in Galashiels.

Midlothian / COMPLETED Jane Louden - Death 1895
« on: Monday 15 August 11 18:41 BST (UK)  »
Wonder if some one can help me confirm the date of death of Jane Loudan my gg grandmother.
She was born 4 September 1816 Ceres Fife, and married  James Budge 8 Dec 1844. I have all their children, also I have her in the 1891 census living at their home town of Anstruther on her own a widow. In have searched Scottish Peoples web using different spelling of Loudan, Louden, or Loudon with no joy, along with wide dates around the date I have been given of 19th July 1895, cause of death being an Abdominal tomour age 78.

Jane is the only one of my gg grand parents I don't have a copy of their death certificate, any help would be appreciated.

Lanarkshire / Children of Alexander Houston and Sarah Smith
« on: Sunday 05 December 10 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to get the birth years for their children.

Alexander Houston was born about 1888, his father John Houston harbour pilot Troon, mother Annie Wilson.

He married Sarah Smith on the 29th December 1911 in Troon, Ayrshire.
They had the following children

William Houston born 2 December 1915 in Glasgow,
Ernest Houston born ? (know as ernie)
Albert Houston born ?
John Houston born ?

I know they are all recent birth's so even the year would be of help.

Fife / James Budge - Anstruther
« on: Thursday 18 November 10 11:01 GMT (UK)  »

Was hoping someone might be able to help sort out some information

I have a marriage of James Budge from Wick to Mary Foster at Anstruther on the 20th September 1797.

Then a James Budge and Mary Scott, having a son James Budge born on the 24 July 1808, in Anstruther.

I can find no record on the death of Mary Foster that might indicate James got remarried, and also no further children to James and Mary?

Fife / McRuvie & Budge
« on: Tuesday 02 February 10 20:13 GMT (UK)  »
Researching the Budge family in Anstruther and have connections to the McRuvie family, and thanks to Harry's replies to my earlier emails, I have found additional information.

If any one has information on either the Budge or McRuvie family, have quite a bit from 1808 to the 1917. Also recently received some old postcards sent from Anstruther with old view.

Partly keen to see if I can locate any graves of the Budge family around Anstruther Wester between 1830 and 1900.

Wonder if any one can help me find the date of death for James Budge, he was the son of James Budge and Mary Scott born in Anstruther Wester on the 24th July 1808.

I have information on him from then through to the census to 1881(still in Anstruther) when he was 73, but cant find his death entry, would be great to find where he was buried.
I have the death of his first wife Isabella Davidson on 20 Feb 1841.

Technical Help / ancestry file and printing
« on: Wednesday 06 January 10 21:32 GMT (UK)  »
Myself and my brother now have 500 names on our tree, however to best check we would like to print off a full family tree in A0.

Ancestry does not appear to a allow a full tree view, are there any programmes that would take a gedcom file and allow a full family tree view?

Then ideally save as a pdf, so I can print off in A0 at my office.

Thanks for any help you can give.
