Hello.

Does anybody have access to the marriage details 28th Sep 1921, Winnipeg, Manitoba between William James Atkinson and Martha Kathleen Johnson?

In particular I am interested in date and place of birth for William and his fathers name and place of birth.

I am hoping to connect this William with William James Atkinson the son of James Atkinson and Mary Levitt. William Jame's birth was registered Jul/Aug/Sep quarter of 1885 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England.

I believe this William died in 1973 with Obituary in the Calgary, Alberta newspapers.

Many thanks.

Hello.

I am trying to confirm the birth that I have for Agnes (Aggie) Athenia Binkey who married James Dean in 1907.

I have a date of 6th April 1876, East Pike Run, Washington, Pennsyvania found on a Family tree but I would like to confirm that this is correct.

Prior to her marriage to James Dean Agnes married Lawrence Mayhorn 20th Dec 1893, Washington Co, Pa. When she married James Dean the certificate says that she was divorced 1st Feb 1906.

Marriage in 1907 gives her age as 31 yrs and names parents as Alan/Allen & Frances.

James and Agnes had a son, Samuel Ulysses Dean, his birth certificate in 1914 gives mother's place of birth as Elizabeth, Pa.

Agnes died 6th Sep 1959, obituary appears in The Los Angeles Times 10th Sep 1959 but I haven't seen this obituary nor seen confirmation of death date.

I have Agnes in Censuses 1910,20,30 and 40 but haven't found her in 1880 or 1890. Ages in Censuses indicate a birth of around 1876.

Any help, thoughts much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hello.

I wonder if anybody has access to :-

Pre 1855- Gravestone Inscriptions on Speyside by Alison Mitchell, Scottish Genealogy Society, 1974.

I am particularly interested in (I believe) page 83, which has a transcription of the Aberlour gravestone of Robert Findlay, his son John and others. I have a recent transcription but this is unclear at the bottom of the stone as the stone has worn away over the years.

I think the original transcript gave an age for John as 73 yrs but this is not mentioned in the later transcription. I have a photo of the stone and the bottom part is unreadable.

The History of the Province of Moray, Vol 1 P 186 by Lachlan Shaw, printed 1882 which is available online also gives an age of 73 yrs for John.

If anybody has this transcription I would much appreciate it.

Many thanks.

Hello

I wonder if anybody might have access to the parish registers of Keith, Banffshire? An online site has Annie Craib dt of Alexander Craib and Ann Teunion/Tennion bap 29th July 1870 but no other details of the baptism. Ann Teunion/Tennion later married a Robert? Neish.

This Annie Craib had an illegitimate daughter, Jane Ann born 5th October 1886, Mid Street, Keith. In the 1901 census there is a Jane Ann Craib, aged 14 years born Keith at The Girls Industrial School Lochburn Road, Maryhill, Glasgow who I think is the same person. In 1891 Jane Ann was living with her aunt, Jane Gordon Craib aged 4 yrs.

Does anyone have, or know of the availability of the records of this school or what became of Jane Ann?

Any thoughts or help much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hello.

I am having trouble finding Richard and Hannah Moorcroft after the 1881 census.

Richard was bap 31st Dec 1848, Liverpool St Peter's to parents George & Catherine.

Hannah Williams was born 1848 Liverpool to parents Charles Williams and his wife Hannah (nee Roberts).

They married 25th Dec 1867 Liverpool Parish Church.

I have the couple in the 1871 (Preston area) and the 1881 (Oldham) censuses but after then I can find no trace of them. I suspect that they might have emigrated but I have no idea as to where.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
