thanks liz

i think ive found him from your information

just one think as im new to this and it may seem a silly question but what is LDS site?

as my ancestors originated in scotland do you think its worth my while registering with a scottish site to get more info and if so can you recommend any

once again thanks alot as there is only me left from the originally arkleys from scotland (and of course my off spring) would love to find out where i originally came from but no oldies to ask any questions

once again thanks a lot you have been a great help

Hi Oxo,
           LDS site is www.familysearch.org
You can search on (for a fee) www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
but you won't get any images before 1855.  I'll try and check over the week-end to see if there were any other David Arkleys born in Greenock around 1814.

hi capricon

thanks for that i think it is probably david kennedy arkley born
1814 as this is in the glasgow area and i was always told he was a pilot for the boats on the river clyde

im trying to follow this up but its hard work

no doubt ill get there in the end

thanks alot
