I believe that my 2nd Great Grandfather, David Nicol Philp,,was born in Dysart but in his 30s moved in the 1870s to Gallashiels with his wifeJane where he raised a family.  He is listed on his death certificate as Forman Baker. He died there on 18th April 1916. Despite manl attempts I can't find any record of where he was buried.  I have found him on Cencus returns and have his death certificare which states that he is a widower and he was  Foreman Baker.
 Can anyone help me find where he is buried please as I have hit a dead end.

Relative Charles Barker was born near Barnet, Middlesex in the 1890s. 
He married an Agnes Spink from Auchmithie /Arbroath and had 2 children Joyce & Eddie.
We have tried in vain to find out more  about Agnes but am finding it hard to decide which Agnes Spink.  It's a very common name.

Soes anyone in the Spink family know about her ?  Where did they live as a family. ?

I recently found that my G Granma had a sister born: Jane Ann McDonald Healds in 1882 in Kirkcaldy, Fife to Ann McDonald Healds & Alfred Healds.  Jemima's mother died when she was around 6 yrs old and she was taken in my a local family- name of Philp.  Later married Andrew Nicol.
We knew she had a brother called Fred who died in 1917 in WW1, but just discovered that there was a younger sister, aged about 3yrs when their mother died. Her name was Jane Ann Healds. Does anyone know what happened to her? 
I have found a marriage certificate from 1911 which names her - but no one in the present family has ever heard of her.  She married an Alexander Martin n Kirkcaldy so she would have been known as Jane Martin.
Did another family perhaps take her in  or adopt her ? Id love to know what happened to her.  I am assuming she was separated from the family. Otherwise she would have been known to us.  My G Granma died in1963 so Jane may have lived into the 1960s. Id love to know what happened to her.  If you are a descendant please get in touch.

I have traced my Grandfather Alex Reid's family 2 generations back to Alexander Reid b.16.3.1840.in Drumblade.. Baptised 24.4.1840. He was my G G Grandfather and my line comes down through his son John Reid b. Toliphin, Auchindoir & Kearn who moved to Fifè aged 5yrs with his parents and later married Agnes Swan.
I am now looking for any info about Alexander senior's parents William Reid & Jane Gordon who married in Cairnie, Huntly on either 24.2.1833 or 28.3.1833.
Any info on either William or Jane would be appreciated. especially birth date & place of birth of William Reid &/or his parents or his wife.  Hoping someone can help.

I'm having a real problem trying to figure out which Dinah was the mother of Isaac Robinson - my Great Grandfather - who was  born Whitehaven in 1837, married in Kilrenny, Fife, in 1870 (name of certificate is IsaacRobertson) & died Kirkcaldy in 1901 as 'Robertson', meaning my father Robert Robertson never knew his Grandfather Isaac or Grandmother Dinah.  We only have a photo of Isaac.

Isaac's father was John Robinson, who I believe to have been born 3rd December 1799 in Kendal to a John & Ann Robinson.

Isaac's mother was a Dinah --------- ( always listed as Robinson ) Dinah Robinson died in October 1848 in Whitehaven, Cumberland, when she was 57 years old. I think that's correct, but not 100% sure.

I thought I'd found her as Dinah Edmondson on my last visit to Whitehaven Research Centre, then the name Dinah Allison started turning up, and then Dinah Faulder - all about the same time.  All married to a John Robinson in Whitehaven or thereabouts.

I think that my G. Grandmother Dinah was born 1795 and died in 1848 in Whitehaven.  These dates make sense.  But was she an Edmondson, an Allison or a Faulder ? My leaning is towards Faulder at present, but only because of the dates looking likely.

Anyone else following this tree ?  Any help would be welcome to get me out of this frustrating rut.
Anne.
