Dear Maddy,

I do not want to put you to any trouble but if there is a will index that covers 1941-42+, could you please let me know.  I am looking for a will for:

Edward Carling WAREHAM who died 30 Dec 1941 at 27 Mayfield Terr., Edinburgh

I know he left his house to his housekeeper/2nd wife, but there are unconfirmed stories of the existence of a son and a grandson, which I am hoping to prove.

Should his name appear in the Will Index, I know I wont do $40 cold paying a researcher to obtain the full copy.  Thank you, Gazania

Dear Maddy, if you get the chance I would really appreciate if you could look up,

DONALDSON George, born October 1847, Edinburgh.

On 1851 census he was living in Barony Glasgow and his pob was listed as Midlothian Edinburgh. 

I realise there are a lot of parishes in Edinburgh, so please only do, if you have the time.

One thing I noticed that one of the OPR is Penicuik, just a thought, his granny was Mary Pennicuik, maybe a co-incidence 

Bye for now

Oops sorry.  Please disregard my request for the will index for Wareham which I have just realised is held at the National Archives of Scotland not at Register House.  Thank you though for your very kind offer.  Gazania. (a dim aussie)

Unfortunately I know nothing at all about Scottish records, or what is held where.

I have a new family that I have recently identified and need to track down, however.

Thomas ARMSTRONG, born about 1794
 and his wife Agnes (maiden name unknown) born somewhere around 1797-1800.
They were Presbyterians.

I don't know if they married in Scotland or after they emigrated.  I don't know where they came from in Scotland - no idea at all.  They first show up in Canada in 1828, married.

I would fully understand if this is not something you are able to help with, but, as I said, I do not yet know anything about Scottish records, and did not want to miss out on your kind offer, if applicable.

Thanks for offering.

Hi Maddy,
   Thank you for you kind offer. Iam a bit like loo and don't know a great deal on what records are held at Register House but would appreciate it if you would be able to look up a marriage of Angus McIver to Mary Mackay probably about 1790-1796 in Uig. I have very little on them other than they had a son Donald in 1797.
 Thanks a lot
 Kind regards
Mariac
