Dumfriesshire / Re: dumfries parish records
« on: Saturday 29 April 06 23:18 BST (UK)  »
I can't believe I'm gaining information about a family line I thought would be my brick wall forever.  The John TODD in 1851 is the wrong age methinks.

Audrey - Did you see an Agnes TODD about 58 and daughter Agnes about 19 on the 1851 census?  -   perhaps with a couple of sons still at home.

 I feel a little more confident about approaching the Scotland site now.

Thank you both.

I found John TODD clockmaker 48, wife Agnes 48 and family at Queensberry St Dumfries in 1841.  I know John was dead by 1853 when Dau Agnes married in Liverpool.

I would like to find their marriage - about 1814+ish?? [going on ages] and/or the births of children who survived - John about 1821, William James Thomas Agnes about 1831, for starters - but - don't know church names or if these are available anyway.

As yet I don't know why Dau Agnes went to Liverpool with her mother - after death of John?? - but assume that the Bros stayed in Dumfries - but haven't followed this as yet.

I am new to Scottish research with an interest in Dumfries before 1837 - TODD.
How does one go about finding the church and/or parish records and accessing them from outside Scotland?
Are there any sites with good explanations?
