Hello,
Yes my branch of the Palfreman family came from Bradford.  George Palfreman married Martha Booth and I am descended from their son Ernest.
Good to hear from you and if I can be of any help don't hesitate to ask

Hello again Joe and Gadget,

Well the certificate has finally arrived.  States place of birth as Falkirk, Scotland.  Is that any help?

Thanks again,
Deb

Hello again Joe and Gadget,

I went into the registry office today, no luck there.   Father only listed as SMITH no forename.  No mothers name listed.  I was so dumbfounded, although I asked the lady to check the place of birth, I forgot to ask about it again.  The certificate should arrive in the next week of so, so until then,
thanks again for your time,
Deb

Hi Rev Mother.
I was wondering whether you could possibly look for a James Smith for me at St Quivox some time between 1864 and 1888.  Wife Margaret nee Dick.

Many thanks,

Hello Joe and Gadget,

Will go into the registry office on Monday morning and get another copy of Agnes' death certificate.  When I receive the certificate I will contact you with the information that it contains. Don't think there is much more that we can work out until I have more details,hopefully, the death cert will contain the correct details..................

Thank you both so very much for your time,

Deb

Gadget,
Forgot to tell you that Agnes and John Cowan emigrated to Australia in 1915 and although I have her death cert ( which for the life of me I can't find at the moment) but she was bur in Brisbane 28.04.1943.  I have been in contact with the Queensland Registry Office who tell me that the info on death cert is gleaned from the family at the time of the death and if there are any mistakes given, then the cert will reflect the info given by the family.  When I spoke to the Registry office people they told me that the UK marriage cert would be more reliable and to believe the info on the Uk cert first.

Hi Gadget,

My Smith family is a bit of a puzzle.   I have a marriage certificate for my gg grandparents John Cowan and Agnes Smith.  Married 1888 at St Quivox.  On the marriage certificate, I have Agnes Smith's parents as James Smith nailmaker decd and Margaret nee Dick living at Prestwick Road, Newton Ayrshire.  I have searched the Scotlands people website for their marriage and the only one that I can find for the area and same time frame is a Robert Smith marrying an Agnes Dick also marrying at St Quivox.  Later I searched for death records for Agnes Smith and didn't find one in that name but found one for a Margaret Smith nee Dick who had husband listed as a Robert Smith.  Now, Robert Smith and Agnes Dick had a daughter that I have found on the igi born 1865 but haven't yet found that birth amongst the hundreds of Agnes Smith births I have so far sorted through on the Scotland's people website.

So that is my dilema, are James and Robert the same person and is Margaret really Agnes?  There were lots of Agnes' in the family line even through to today.

Haven't yet searched for death records for Robert  but have looked briefly for James with no success.  Must have been some time between 1864/5 and 1888 when he was decd on marriage cert.

Hoping you can assist me with my quandry.

Deb
