Hi there. I was wondering if anyone would be able to make out the mother’s forename on this attached death certificate. The person writing it has made a mistake then scored out the name and it’s become a bit illegible.

Thanks,

Alan

Scotland / James Miller and Julia McMillan
« on: Monday 18 March 24 16:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I've traced ancestors from Canada back to Scotland, but I'm struggling to find Scottish records for them.

In a Canadian 1901 census I've found James Miller (born 16 May 1852, Scotland). It says he arrived in Canada in 1872.

He married Julia McMillan on 9th Oct 1880 in Toronto, but I've found her on the 1861 Canadian census aged 1 and her father Robert McMillan, 29, Coachman was born in Scotland and his wife aged 27 was also born in Scotland.

Any information on either of these sides would be fantastic if anyone is able to help!

Regards,

Alan

Canada / James Miller and Julia McMillan Marriage (Toronto)
« on: Sunday 17 March 24 21:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I'm trying to find some information on Canadian relative of mine. The information I have so far is:

James Miller married Julia Maria Margaret McMillan on 9th July 1880 (Toronto).

James' parents as shown on the marriage certificate are John and Isabel Miller.
Julia's parents are shown as Robert and Anna McMillan.


I was hoping to find out any more information on these people and we know some relative form this line originated from Scotland so it would be great to find out that link too.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Scotland / Archibald Bell & Mary McKenzie
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 20:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I've hit a brick wall in my attempts to find more ancestors and was wondering if anyone could help?

I have Catherine Bell's death certificate in New Ardrossan, County of Ayr (d. 10/5/1895) and her parents are shown as Archibald Bell and Mary McKenzie.

Is there any way of finding information and possible ancestors of Archibald and Mary?

« on: Monday 29 March 21 21:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any information or any links to the following ancestors who emigrated from Scotland to Canada? By the looks of it my great grandad William Murdoch Elder was the only one of his family that stayed in Scotland.

The rest were:

Mother:

Mary Jane Murdock b. 5/11/1863 (Ire) m. 5/2/1880 (Sco) d. 27/2/1932 Canada

Siblings:

Robert Wallace Stewart b. 4/11/1880 (Ire)
Andrew Irvine b. 15/11/1883 (Sco) m. 9/9/1919 (Can), d. 1/11/1948 (Detroit)
Frank Kirkpatrick b. ~1882 (Sco) m. 9/9/1922 (Can) Not with fam on 1891 census
John b. ~ 1895 (Sco), m. 25/10/1912 (Can)
Daniel b. ~1891

I managed to find the various certificates through scotlandspeople and familysearch but any additional information at all would be great.


Thanks,

Alan

Ireland / Marriage of Robert Elder and Mary Jane Murdoch (5/2/1880)
« on: Sunday 28 July 19 09:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I'm looking at my Great Grandfathers birth certificate and it states his parents Robert Elder and Mary Jane Murdoch were married on 5/2/1880 in Ballywatt, Antrim.

However, having searched online at the Irish records I can't seem to find this marriage. I don't know if anyone has any way of finding this out or directing me to another source as I seem to have hit a bit of a dead end. I would love to find their marriage certificate to continue the trail.

Hope someone is able to assist.

Aberdeenshire / Death of Mary May (Between 1845 & 1851)
« on: Wednesday 09 January 08 17:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I was hoping someone could help e find out when Mary May died. She is on the 1841 census (aged 25), and had a son on 3/5/1845 however on the 1851 census her husband had remarried so I assume she died between those dates. I definetey know she was dead before 1866 because she is shown as deceased on her sons marriage certificate.

Can anyne help a all or point me in the right direction as to where I could possibly find out?

Regards,

Alan

Renfrewshire / James Anderson (Paisley)
« on: Tuesday 08 January 08 20:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me trace James Anderson from Paisley. He married Helen Allan (m. 1852, d. 1918). Is anyone able to find him on census so I can possibly get more information about his family and possibly try and find out when he died so I can find his parents on his death certificate?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Regards,

Alan

Caithness / John Swanson & Janet Georgeson (Wick)
« on: Tuesday 08 January 08 20:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me find out anymore information about my family in Caithness. The furthest back I have got is to John Swanson and Janet Georgeson (Wick). Their son is Donald Swanson (d. 1893) married to Catherine Bain (b. 1822, d. 1890). His son was John Swanson (m. 1861), married to Margaret Miller (m. 1881) and their daughter is Caroline Miller Swanson (m. 1920, d. 1951).

Any information would be great if anyone could help me!

Regards,

Alan
