Aberdeenshire / Burial Scans for Fraserburgh
« on: Monday 07 January 19 15:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, is anyone familiar with burial scans?

We found the burial scan for a relative who was interred in Fraserburgh, we did visit the cemetery but unfortunately it was just too big to find one plot as there isnt any numberings or signs to say which part is the part we were looking for :-(

The plot we were looking for was for Annie Clerihew who died on March 16th 1938 and was interred on March 19th 1938.  Trying to decipher the burial scan we think it says CC IB lair 1556.  Does anyone know what this means and where it might possibly be located?

Thanks

Family History Beginners Board / locating records for Orlando Busato?
« on: Wednesday 17 October 18 14:47 BST (UK)  »
This is a long shot but I am trying to find any information on my Grandfather on my Mother's side

He is named Orlando Busato (possibly Orlindo) we think he orginated from Italy but was in an interment camp in Moray where he met my Grandmother Charlotte Greig Geekie born in Inverkeithny in Banff in 1918.  they had 3 children, (twins) born in 1945 in Aberchilder, one died in a fire in 1949.  My mother * Geekie (1946) but there is no named father on her birth certificate but she has the middle name of Busato so its a possibility that he was the father of her as well.  Charlotte also had 2 more children  (1944)and (1939) but under the name of Geekie.

We dont know his date of birth or any records of him being in Scotland at all or if he returned to Italy from the interment camps.  He is named on the death record of George and we are currently purchasing the birth records as we have to pay separately for these.  Can anyone shed any light?  I have looked at interment camps but I have come up blank, I have also tried the british history papers but another blank.  Trying to find anyone who might have a Busato in the family tree that might know of him.

*edited to remove names of possibly living people.  Please do not post names of anyone who is or may still be alive.  Thanks

The Common Room / Anderson family from Gateshead?
« on: Tuesday 25 September 18 16:27 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find my great great grandad but hitting a brick wall

My grandfather was John Anderson who married Henrietta Holder in December 1937.  In the 1939 census they live with his Mother in law, Lavinia Holder and her two sons, George and William at 4 Avon street, Gateshead.

His Father was Henry Anderson supposed to be born (according to 1939 census) 24th October 1892 but i cant find a record of his birth to find his birth mothers maiden name.  He married Mary Smith in  Gateshead General registry office on 16th March 1915 and he is in the 1939 with the right family so i know this is him.  According to his marraige certificate his father is called John Anderson who was already deceased when he married in 1915.  I have that he was born around 1857 and died before the 1911 census but I cant work out who he married or who his family is.

Can anyone help as Anderson is such a popular name, I think i found him in the 1901 Census but his wife shows up as Ein Anderson living in Peareth Street?  thanks in advance

The Common Room / Help! how do you find the name of the Parish of marriages?
« on: Thursday 16 August 18 08:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I am trying to locate my family tree and i have found the Marriages of my family but it only says they are married in Gateshead and not which Parish or the name of the Church :-(

Can anyone help me?  I have 4 that I want to research more thoroughly as I found John James Gray to Catherine McClure (10a 1209) and they were married at St Edmunds but the others below I can't find a record as i was assuming that the 10a part meant they were married in the same places but obviously thats not what it means and its just a page and volume number :-(

John James Gray to Marguerite Naylor Married in Gateshead Dec 1936 (10a 1772)
Mark W Naylor to Jane Rutter Married in Gateshead 1911 (10a 1665)
John Anderson to Henrietta Holder Married in Gateshead Dec 1937 (10a 1683)
Thomas Holder to Lavinia Morgan married in Gateshead 1 June 1901 (10a 1699)

If anyone can help to give me ideas of how to find where they were married that would be lovely

Thanks

Banffshire / Marnoch Kirkyard
« on: Saturday 14 July 18 09:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am new to this forum, I am just wondering if anyone has a copy of map plan of headstones in Marnoch kirkyard? I have been trying to find the book as we have seen them before in Aberdeen Family History centre but I cant find the Marnoch book :-(

We have just discovered another 5 members of my family and we are visiting Marnoch at the end of July but we would rather have a map of where the stones are than walking up and down trying to find them.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place as my family are from Scotland but we live in the North East so can't just pop into the family history centre, any help appreciated thanks
