Berwickshire / Researching Smail
« on: Monday 03 July 17 17:58 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking to find my dad's side of the family. We do not know who his father is unfortunately his mum, my gran passed away before I was old enough to question it. My dad was given my grans surname being Smail. I know she (Martha) was born in Cockburns Path, Dunbar, Berwickshire. She was born to James and Alison(Nee Young) Smail in Feb 1924. Both of my great grandparents parents were also born in Cockburns Path, Dunbar, Berwickshire. She also had 2 brothers James and Robert and a sister Isabella. I have a Ancestry account but I'm stumped as we are unsure of who her (Martha) her fathers father is so makes research a little difficult. I also know that her mother divorced and remarried in Aberdeen. Any information would be fantastic and appreciated . I will add more info if I come across anything. I also did a DNA test by Ancestry, it shows that I'm 67% Irish, 26% European West and 7% other regions. I look forward to hearing of any news. Thank you.
