Hello I am trying to find out if a family story is true. There is a story that one of my husbands ancestors was a servant at Fasque House/ Balbegno Castle during the time that Gladstone was prime minister. She told family members that she was working there when he visited his brother. Her name was Isabella Smith - born 8 March 1862 in Fettercairn, Kincardineshire, about 2 miles from Fasque. WE know that she was definitely a domestic servant- according to the Census in 1881. She was at home on the census but lived less than 2 miles away.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas where the archives etc could be for the estate. I have tried contacting them and also Glen Dye estate but no one there has any archives. I wondered if any museums or local history groups would have any ideas?

I am researching my late aunts family from Cape town. I've found reference to them on the National archives for south Africa and want to try to see the documents. I have tried emailing but the email keeps bouncing back. Their details are as follows:
Gustav Earnest Arnold died 1944
Violet Angelique ( Bone) Arnold died 1955
I would be grateful for any help.

Does anyone know if and how I can get a copy of the death certificate? Although the link takes me to the website and I can search for the record - it's a huge document and I didn't manage to find her on the list- I really don't understand how I go about getting more information. I'd be really grateful for any tips.
I am hoping the certificate may help me find out about her husband, Charles Edwin Whiting, as I cannot find where he died and when. They were in the UK together (in Birmingham) until about 1950. Suzanne's father (Paul Victor Alexandre) died in Birmingham in 1942.

Hello- I am looking for help with determining the parentage of a child called Pamela who was the grandaughter of  Andrew Lamont (DOB 21 December 1888 died 4 July 1966  ) He married Alexandrina Fyfe on 23 September 1915 in Cupar, Fife. They had three children during their marriage. He died on 4 July 1966 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, at the age of 77.
Their 3 children were all girls:
Wilhelmina Small Lamont BIRTH 20 JUL 1917 • Abercorn, West Lothian, Scotland
DEATH Unknown
Isabella Fyfe Lamont BIRTH 25 MAY 1920 • Abercorn, West Lothian, Scotland
DEATH 23 AUG 1995 • Edinburgh, Scotland
Alexandrina Fyfe Lamont BIRTH 29 SEP 1925 • Abercorn, West Lothian, Scotland
DEATH 21 MAY 1995 • Edinburgh, Scotland

I know that Isabella was married to Gordon Clutterbuck in 1952 in Edinburgh and they went to South Africa. He died on 19 June 1976 in Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa, at the age of 60.
I cannot find any mention of children.
I cannot find any marriage records for the other 2 girls.
I have a photograph of Andrew and Alexandrina F (snr) with a girl called Pamela who is aged about 5. Andrew died in 1966 so the girl is likely to have been born around 1960 ish. I have no other information other that the photograph names her as Pamela and was taken in Edinburgh outside their house. 25 Glendevon Road Edinburgh. The reverse of the photograph says:- "Pop me and grandchild Pamela" in Alexandrina's writing.
I would be so grateful if anyone can find anything to tell me which of the sisters was Pamela's mother?

I am trying to find more information about Private (H)Harry Findler who was in the Grenadier Guards in WW1. Service number 14674. He was apparently listed as wounded in the Casualty List issued by the war office - the report is dated 22/05/1916.
He was born in Staffordshire 16/3/1888.
I think that he was in the 1st battalion.
Ay information would be great. Thanks
