Hi Monica,
That's great! Thank you!

Needed to confirm that the recently discovered war casualty was the same person I already have on my family tree.  I think I am now convinced he belongs on my tree!

Thanks again

Hi,

Relative gave address as Westwood, Monkton, Ayrshire in 1930s.

Anyone got any idea where this is?  Is it a house? An area? An institution?

Any help would be great.

Hi,

Entry 217. C. In loving memory of CHRISTINE PATERSON beloved wife of John Curried died 11th May 1938 aged 59 years the above JOHN CURRIE died 11th Dec. 1956 aged 80 years.    A     (D1-231)

A is the section and D1-231 is the photograph number which can be purchased from the Renfrewshire Family History Society.  No idea what the C at the beginning is for...

 

Hi,

I have McDonells at Kinlochourn, births of children and death of mother Anne nee Macdonald were registered in Knoydart.  Anne's death and birth of son Samuel were regitered by her father who was living on Knoydart at that time.  I believe the Macdonalds came from Camusrory. Can look up the detail if you think there is a connection.

Kinlochourn and Camusrory are not far as the crow flies - and are both near Glen Quoich.

Can't help you with any Lewis connection.

Not even 100% sure the above are related as my (possible) grandfather-in-law's birth was registered by the postman in Knoydart and did not fill in date and place of parents' marriage!

Hi,

Although parts of Glasgow are in Renfrewshire, most of Glasgow comes under Lanarkshire so you may have better luck posting there too.

Have you tried searching for birth, marriage & death certificates and census info on the Scotland's People website?
