Ayrshire / Hugh Alexander
« on: Thursday 14 July 22 22:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi. I was wondering if I could have some help with something.

Hugh Alexander died on March 1st 1890 aged 64, but first of all, people on ancestry have his birth date as May 14th 1816, making him 73, but I can also find no records for a Hugh Alexander born between 1816 and 1826 with the same parents that are listed on his death certificate. The census seems to estimate his birth around about the 1816 mark. A little more info on Hugh, he married Jane/Jean McWilliam in 1844, and she died in 1904. They had 9 children, James (1844-1910), Annie (1846-1892), Jane (1849-1924), William (1850-1925), Agnes (1852-1921), John (1855-1930), Hugh (1857-1920), George (1859-1936) and Margaret (1861-1880).

Hugh was the son of Hugh Alexander, Coal Miner, and Jane Campbell.
Some people claim that he is Hugh Montgomery Alexander, son of John Alexander and Jean McDowall, however I heavily doubt this is my Hugh.
I'm looking for information on his parents, and when he was actually born.

Durham / Children of Annie Hall and Arnold Blair
« on: Thursday 01 October 20 00:13 BST (UK)  »
Trying to look for the children of Arnold Watt Blair (1886-1948) and Annie Henderson Hall (1887-1983) of Durham. I have 3 of the children, Arnold Blair Jr 1914-2007, married the widowed Gladys Rosenthal in 1951. Gladys died in 1997 aged 78. Annie Blair 1915-1987, and Nancy Blair. I'm not sure how to find out anymore children, I've had a look at some family trees on Ancestry but haven't found much.

Ayrshire / Parents of Elizabeth White
« on: Monday 21 September 20 00:17 BST (UK)  »
Elizabeth White was born in 1926 to Mr White and Mrs White (maiden surname Logan), I am trying to find the marriage certificate and names of Elizabeths parents. Elizabeth married Charles Forbes Armour in 1952. He was born in 1921. Elizabeth and Charles probably had a few children I only know one who is living. Elizabeth died in 1980 aged 54 in Ayr. I haven't found her birth record as there are a lot of Elizabeth Whites born in 1925/1926. Charles died in Kilmarnock in 2019 aged 98. Charles parents were Charles Walker Armour 1888-1953 and Elsie Ewen Murdoch 1890-1968.

Any help would be appreciated on Elizabeths parents.

Ayrshire / Bedelia E Degens

Bedelia E Degens is a family member of mine that I can't seem to find any birth or death records for... she married William Wallace in 1936, Troon, I don't have the marriage certificate but they had a son in 1937 called William Douglas Wallace, he died in 2009. I haven't even tried looking for birth or death for William as I already know there would be too many..

Ayrshire / James Aitken and Mary McCulloch
« on: Wednesday 16 September 20 23:45 BST (UK)  »
Trying to look for info on parents of Andrew Aitken (1921-1980), he married Agnes Hopkins Alexander (1923-2016) on 7 September 1939, on the marriage certificate Andrews parents are James Aitken I think he was a coal miner, he was deceased by 1939. Andrews mother was Mary Balfour McCulloch, she was alive in 1939. I think Andrew was also a Coal Miner, Agnes' parents were Hugh Alexander 1883-1958 and Agnes Ballantyne Hopkins 1888-1949. At the time of the marriage Andrew was living in Ayr and Agnes was living in Burns street, Tarbolton. They had 5 kids, all of whom are still living.

Northumberland / Stephen Griffins
« on: Tuesday 01 September 20 00:56 BST (UK)  »
My cousins biological father was Stephen Griffins, his name might not be Stephen I'm not sure. Anyways Stephen was born in Newcastle, I don't know when but I would estimate around 1908-1920. He also died in Newcastle. Some time during WWII he came up to Scotland and had an affair with my aunt Sarah White (1911-1997). From that affair they had a daughter who is alive but that daughter didn't take the Griffins surname, she took Sarah's husbands name, Gemmell. Thats all I know on him.

Hello, I am trying to find when one of my family members, John Smillie died.

John was born on 4 September 1860 to Christina Dickson 1837-1904 and William Smillie 1833-1869. His father died in a coal mining accident in 1869.

John married Annie Douglas (1863-1934) they were married in 1883.
They had 7 children, William Smillie 1887-?, Annie Smillie 1889-1968, Robert Smille 1891-1946, Christina Smillie 1893-1974, Joseph Smillie 1896-1964, Andrew Smillie 1897-1975 and Grace Smillie 1900-1903. Would be helpful if anyone could find a death for John.
