Looking for guidance on finding the birth/baptism of  EMIL GOTTLIEB BOL(L)IGER in Switzerland on 20.3.1902 (as per a US death cert). Exact location of his birth not known.

Parents names not yet known either, but according to 1930 US census, father was born in Switzerland and mother in Germany. Emil emigrated to the US in 1923.

Would he be in any Swiss census between 1902 and 1923?

James Black Malcolm is reported to have died in May 1924 in Christchurch NZ. Can anyone possibly help me by getting his date of death and find/advise where I might find any obituary for him?

He is believed to have been born c 1855 in either Glasgow or Belfast. Parents Duncan Malcolm & Christina Black.

Grateful for advice on where to search for a marriage in the 1820s.

The Couple were James Birch who married Catherine (surname unknown) around 1829. The family appear in the 1841 census in Shoreditch, London. James was 40, Catherine 30. Their eldest child 11. So I suspect they married around 1828/29.

James has died by the 1851 census, but Catherine is recorded as born in Westminster. So I would expect the marriage to have been either in Westminster or somewhere in the East End. Family appears to have been C of E.

I am researching a family named Hunter who were in Coolshinney townland near Magherafelt, in the 1831 census. They are listed in the census as “Other Presbyterian dissenters”, so presumably a member of a secession church in the Magherafelt area. Any ideas on which church that might have been? (I can’t see any listed under Magherafelt parish on the PRONI website). Was there a secession or Reformed Presbyterian church there at one time which has now closed?

Grateful for advice as to how you search for and obtain a copy of a Scottish will after 1925 (ie wills that are not on the Scotlandspeople site).
