Aberdeenshire / William Souter / Jane Reith help please Aberdeenshire
« on: Sunday 04 September 11 10:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone

I am trying to help a friend of mine who unfortunately is not very pc savvy help to try and start to research his family tree.

Some details could be wrong/mispelt he does not know, i have tried so hard to access Scottish BMD records but i keep hitting a brick wall.

All he knows is his late father was called James Souter b1921 Aberdeen  and his fathers name was he believes to be William Souter born in Scotland but when his parents divorced he took the surname of his mother Jane Reith b???? Scotland ( he thinks ).He then became known as James Reith to his death

I know his birth certificate would say his parents names but would they have there place of birth on Scottish records ????

Any info no matter how small would help please.

Ireland / John Gill b.15 Aug 1911 "help please"
« on: Saturday 03 September 11 11:53 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find any info no matter how small on my late grandad John James Gill (jack)....

He was born on the 15th August 1911 and all i know is he was born in Ireland (Cork County) i am led to believe.

Also i have been told he had a sister who was a Nun and a brother who moved to Jersey Channel Islands..

My Grandad then moved to Burnley, Lancashire in the 1940's so between the 30 yrs inbetween i am not sure where resided.

If anyone knows any info on his parents/siblings i would be extremely grateful.

I have tried researching irish birth records but to no avail unfortunately...

Kind Regards

Lancashire / Parents of John Henry Whittam help please !!
« on: Thursday 31 December 09 09:42 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone have any info on my great great grandad i am stuggling to determine which could be his parents he was born in 1861/62 in Burnley i looked on the 1861 census but no luck there. Then i looked at the 1871 census and the only john h Whittam was classed as a son in-law at the age of 9 which has to be a miss-print it must mean step son and he is living with a Easter ? could this be esther is this another miss print.
 Then i tried to find a marriage of a Easter Whittam in 1861 to find a Father of John Henry Whittam but yet again i hit a wall.

If anyone has any info to try to clear this up i would be very grateful

Would anybody have any information or suggestions why i cannot find any of my Grandad's family on the 1901 census...they are all born in Ingleton,but lived on Rumley Rd in Burnley...

they appear on the 1891 census
John H Whittam
Elizabeth Whittam
Hester Whittam
John Whittam
Richard Whittam
Maud Whittam

My Grandad Richard is then on the 1911 census married to a Mary Hannah with a daughter called Elsie..


I have tried all the names on the 1891 census and nothing appears to be matching on the 1901 census,
I dont understand why i cant even pick up one of them at least..

My Grandad at the time should be approx 14 yrs old as he was born in 1887
Any help no matter how small to solve the mystery would be appreciated...
