I am trying to find the marriage of a relation (now deceased) who we believe spent some time on Jersey.

She was born Margaret Mary Wilson, married and divorced a Mr Galloway (have details) followed by marrying a Mr Holmes (have details). The divorce to Mr Holmes was finalised in June 1979.

The marriage I am looking for is after this to a Mr McArthur (don't know his first name)

Can anyone help?

I have just received a birth certificate for July 1958 where the place of birth simply states "Maternity Home, Stirling".


Would this have been Airthrey castle or somewhere else?

I'm a little bit stuck and would appreciate help or suggestions. Posting here as not sure where to post multiple queries about the same person.

I'm researching my aunt - Margaret Mary Wilson b 1928 who was estranged for her family for most of her adult life.

I'm trying to find details of her 3rd marriage to a Mr McArthur but have no idea where or when this took place. I'd also love to find anything else that may be available ?divorce records. She was born in Lancashire (have full details) and married twice previously

1. to David Peter Thomas Galloway in Wandsworth Register Office under licence in 1949 (I have the certificate - she was only 20) Interestingly, I think I have found that he married again. She had a son to this marriage who I believe is alive so I will not post details (I have no contact with him).

2. to James Henry Holmes in 1958 in Glasgow (certificate awaited). She had a son to this marriage who died on 31 Dec 1959 aged under 2 years in Glasgow Hospital due to burns (have death cert - family story was this was a scald from boiling water). I have found a corrected entry which suggested there might have been a criminal investigation or at least a coroners inquest - how do I find more info?

Margaret moved and died in Peterborough, we think she may have spent some time in the channel islands at some point.

The 1939 register has the McArthur name and I know she died with this name.

Thanks for any help

I'm researching my great aunts husband and have come across something I have never seen before and wonder if anyone can help me?

I have found his British Army Pension Record but he only served 11 days! On the topo right corner of the short service attestation it appears to say "Cancelled see letter enclosed ex Chief of Police Hull". (Sadly the letter isn't in the record)

I wondered what the letter would have needed to say to cancel his military service?

The man concerned was James Edward Hill born 15 Jan 1891 in Hull to James Edmund and Rosamund (nee Harrison). James senior was a policeman and police pensioner in the 1901 and 1911 census.

James joined up on 9th Nov 1914 and served in the Royal Garrison Artillery until 19 November 1914.

Any help or suggestions where to look gratefully received!
