East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Help with death
« on: Thursday 25 January 07 18:57 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find a death but no success on ScotlandsPeople. It's for a Margaret Anderson Brown, born 1840, Spott. First son in 1862 when she was unmarried. She then marries William Wilson in 1868. She has a daughter with William in 1873. I have her on the 1881 census in Dunbar and on her son's 1888 marriage cert., she's still alive. On his death in 1929, she's listed as deceased. I have found one on ScotlandsPeople (sorry, can't check specifics, trust the site to be down when I'm writing ::)) but it's not the correct one. I would be grateful for any help.  :)

Does anyone know where West Preston is? I have it listed as a birthplace from the 1851 census but I have no idea where it is!  :P Any help?

The Common Room / Help with occupation
« on: Sunday 24 December 06 22:10 GMT (UK)  »
It's on the 1891 Scottish census, listed for a 66-year-old woman. I thought it may be another word for retired etc but I really have no clue. Any help? Merry Christmas to you all.  8)

Scotland / Viewing wills & inventories on Scotlands People
« on: Friday 15 December 06 00:14 GMT (UK)  »
Tonight I purchased an inventory which was split over two pages, half on the first and half on the next. When it says "3 pages", does this mean I have not been charged for looking at the second half of the inventory or have I been charged another five pounds?  :-\

Can anyone tell me when this photo might have been taken and a general age of the sitter (just so I can match him up, you see!)? Thank you.  :D

Ayrshire / 1825 birth
« on: Friday 08 December 06 08:22 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for a birth record of Mary Cameron in c. 1825. Her death certificate says she was born to John Cameron, a gardener, and Elizabeth Neil. Censuses say her birthplace as Symington, Ayrshire. I would be grateful for any help as I've had no luck on familysearch or Scotlands People at all.  :(
