Scotland / TRADESTON REGISTRY OFFICE
« on: Wednesday 22 October 14 21:29 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find out if the building that my greatgreat grandparents were married still exists. The wedding was in July of 1866, the certificate says Tradeston, Glasgow. Its a bit strange they were married in Glasgow as they lived in Inverness. Looks like they lived in Inverness, came to Glasgow and married then went back to Inverness. They had a few children, went back to Glasgow and had one child there then went back to Inverness and had more children. He was a Jeweller so maybe all the moving about was work related?

The marriage certificate doesn't have any numbers but I did find a Pte William Mckinnon in the National Archives in the medal role. His number was 3283. Poss the same person?

WILLIAM MCKINNON born 9/6/1882 in Cossarshillfoot in Ettrick, Selkirkshire.
He survived the war as his children were born in 1918 and 1923.
I dont have a date of death tho.

My great grandfather was in the Post Office Rifles based in London even though he was from Selkirkshire. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the regiment. His marriage certificate is all I have as proof he was in this regiment.

Selkirkshire / Re: MACKINNON/MCKINNON family in Ettrick Scotland

Thanks for the welcome. It is that St Pancras marriage as I have a copy of the marriage certificate. I know about Flora's family and of William's family but only recently found out about Ian's younger sister. He did speak of a brother once but maybe not from that same area. I was hoping to trace any family Agnes and her husband George Thomson may have had. Im visiting a Scotlandspeople Centre to do more research as £15 for the day unlimited access is much better than the credit system and less costly!

Selkirkshire / MACKINNON/MCKINNON family in Ettrick Scotland
« on: Sunday 14 September 14 19:21 BST (UK) »
Im trying to trace my grandfathers family who lived in Ettrick in the Scottish borders. His name was IAN ANDREW MACPHERSON MACKINNON born 13/11/1918 in Ettrick. His mother and father, WILLIAM AND FLORA MACKINNON who married in London, stayed in Ettrick but he grew up in Inverness with FLORA's family. He had two younger siblings who remained in Ettrick. AGNES and a brother. I know AGNES married ALLAN GEORGE THOMSON but have no more information. My granddad never spoke of his family but his children and grandchildren would like to know more.
