Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the parents of Jane or Jean Watherstone born Duns? Berwickshire abt 1727 with no success so far.

She married John Jeffrey about 1750 and I have a record of their son James being born in Duns

If anyone can help I'be very grateful.  John's parents would be a boon too, if possible.

Thank you for your time,

Hi Everyone,


For sometime now I've been looking for the marriage of my Granparents Isaac Samuel/s b. 1850 in Whitechapel area and  Mary Warn(various spellings) b. 1853 Northfleet, Kent.

Issac was Jewish and Mary was not.  I can find no record of their marriage tho' I'm sure they would have been.  The marriage was supposed to be in 1872.

Certainly they are on all the census from 1881on.

Can anyone solve this mystery please, because I'm stumped. 

Thanks for your interest

Hi all,

I wonder if someone can help?  I have found my ancestor Alexander Horsburgh b. abt 1536 appears to be married to Christian d/o William Stewart and Christian Hay.  I have found no proof of this except an piece talken from a document called the Peebles Protocols

This piece makes reference to Christian's mother Lady Traquair and her brother John paying 100 merks of the tocher.
"In February, 1552, there is recorded a contract of marriage between Alexander Horsbruk of that Ilk, John and Robert Horsburgh, his brothers, and Janet and Christian, his sisters, on the one part, and Christian Hay, Lady Traquair, and John Stewart, her son, on the other part, in which Lady Traquair acknowledges that she is due to the said Alexander Horsbruk one hundred merks of the tocher promised to him with Christian Stewart, her daughter, and 20 pounds to his brothers and sisters. [Peebles Protocols.]. "

Does anyone know where to find these documents or know about this marriage.

Hoping someone can help.
Thank you,

Hello all,

I have come across an ancestor (of a friend for whom I am doing some research) who according to the English 1901 census was born in Kimberley S A abt 1851.

I have searched the passenger lists for the name Hargreaves and cannot find any going to or coming from S A.

His name is Herbert Hargreaves and he married Mary Wright in Keighly Yorkshire in 1893, so must have come to the U K before that date.

Has anyone any ideas on what to look at next?

Would really appreciate help,
