What a pleasant surprise to find this reply in my mail box. Many thanks.

I will drop you a PM unless you feel discussing on here would be more appropriate.

It is quite some time since I delved into the tree and to be honest I got bogged down in a section of a tree not directly descending to myself. Such is the fun in it all.

You have already provided information I was lacking. If I remember correctly I was torn between 1799 and 1805, and as with things, took 1805 as more reliable.

The picture of Richard Archibald. Would this be something you would be able to email? I have a portrait taken in the 1880s which hangs on my wall. A larger version (which sadly I have never seen) resides in Middlesbrough Town Hall.

Richard Archibald also made a top 100 celebrities list of Middlesbrough as created by Dorman’s Museum. I contacted to find out final placings, but they no longer held information on the survey.

Again many thanks and pleas contact myself as I may be able to help you as much as you have helped already.

Sorry this is long now

Having received assistance and read help other's have received I am hoping for further assistance on this section of my tree.

It has been stagnant for nearly 18 months, and would really love a break or even better..... Bump into someone searching the same tree.

My section of tree for Archibald finishes in Middlesbrough after moving in 1850s.

I have traced back to Andrew Archibald and Margaret Forrester (married 1776) with a child (one of five) Charles Archibald (b 1785 cameron, fife, scotland. Parents as Andrew archibald and margaret foster)marrying Betsey Borland. I am struggling to get further back at present. I believe Andrew's father was also called Andrew and I estimate birth around 1750.

I have a marriage 12th May 1776 - Kinross, Scotland

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=ancestorsearchresults.asp

I have a marriage 10th May 1776 - Burntisland, Fife, Scotland

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=ancestorsearchresults.asp

For Margaret I have references to Forrester, Forester, Foster and Forster as I look into it, and am aware that marriages in scotland could be logged up to three times (the marriage and homes for bride and groom).

Regards

Wow! Many many thanks all for the information. I have not even been able to find death information in England (Mind you am looking more to getting births and christenings so far).

I am really surprised how many littlefairs spring in the tree. Maybe I can get that holiday off a distant erlation

Seriously though it is very much appreciated and it is great to see another country added into my tree.

Mark Newby Littlefair - The only littlefairs I had out of UK are (were) the family from my original link. There will be a large amount of digesting and comprhending before I believe I can move forward from this angle.

In 1881 (on familysearch.org) they are transcribed as Littlefare, and Edward's wife is Ann, not Martha.  Otherwise it seems to match.

Many thanks. Did not think on Littlefare (going back in the past I have had littlefare and littlephare and so on.... Should have thought    )
Have that information now.

Really did not expect a single family name to explode across the globe in the numbers it has in little time... Littlefairs huh

Kind regards

Morning,

I am currently tidying up a branch on my tree (not direct descendants), but have been pleasantly surprised to find that they moved to Canada.
Very interested to find teh reasons for this, and wishing to see if I have a tie in on another person's tree.

Also I would love to know how to pursue Canadian resources more efficiently as I am more familiar with England/ Scotland.

The link(s) I have so far for the family -

Click here for link

They suddenly seem to disappear from Canada, UK, USA.... What happened?

Regards
