Need help in find a birth record for Eliza Wallace/Wallis who stated on her marriage record that her birth was 29 July 1824 in Glasgow, she was my Great great grandmother.

She was the daughter of Thomas and Christina Campbell who arrived in Hobart Tasmania in 1833 from Dublin Ireland, Thomas was a stonemason ,  and later made their way to Adelaide South Australia where she married Joseph Hudson.

I have looked in Peoples Scotland for the family ,but couldn't find them.
Would love some help.

I am trying to find the birth and death of William Clark

He is the youngest brother of my mother in law.

I found him in the 1901 census born 1900
His parents were Sinclair Clark, Jessie Gunn, Lybster Caithness.
His name was never mention by my mother in-law, she emigrated to Australia in the mid 1930's.
She spoke every little about her family back in Scotland ,

I have all the dates and names of her other sisters and brothers.

Any help would be welcomed.

Scotland / Are these Christian names used the same.
« on: Friday 06 June 14 07:16 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my husbands Scottish parents as well as my own grandmothers side.

I have come across my father in-laws mother christian name Jane Balfour, have her marriage record and her death which both state Jane, was not able to find her birth until I found her in the Family Search as Jean Balfour her birth date is the same as Jane.The parents correspond to the names on the marriage record also the occupation corresponds with the 1871 census.
Would I be right in presuming Jane/Jean Balfour is the same person.

The next name query is for Jessie, my gg aunt was born in Australia and registered as Jessie, when she married her christian name was Janet she died under the name Janet , on some of her children's records her name is Janet with Jessie in brackets.

I have also come across this in other Scottish families I have been researching Jessie becomes Janet.
