Hi Ev,
thanks for the replies.
I have those bits of info thanks very much, although I think the cremation might be extra. I haven't paid to get the death cert, which I think I might have to do, just to see if it mentions other family members.
I haven't found their marriage, but Christina Warrington's birth cert has illegitimate clearly marked on it. William is listed as father though, so I suspect they married very soon after. William was a widow by this point and had a family from his first marriage.
By the 1911 census Christina is in an orphanage training for service.
I also found James and Christina's marriage thanks, so I am probably moving into the territory of living people, or births and marriages too recent for inclusion on genealogy sites. I'd love to know if Christina and James Crichton had children though.
I'm only learning my way around the Scottish records. I've been on Scotlandspeople. I like the credit system, but I'm tempted to click on so many
Thanks for your help
Paul
