parents of James Gall
« on: Friday 13 July 07 20:25 BST (UK) »
I've raised this question before but I just can't find any positive link between John Gall / Elizabeth Guthell stated on James Gall's D/C as his Parents either as their being married or being named on James G's birth Certificate i'm beeing increasingly drawn to a William Gall / Jean Guthrie as being his real parents but does anyone know how I can Prove one and therefore disprove the other?

Hi Chunkie,

Any chance of you could give us some date here, when was John born etc.

Fount these two on IGI but don't know John Gall's birth year.

International Genealogical Index / British Isles - 2 
Select records to download - (50 maximum)

 1. James Gall - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: About 1816 Perth, Perth, Scotland
 
 2. James Gall - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Death: 19 JUN 1892 Dundee, Angus, Scotland 
 
Both this birth and death had these parents names.

 Hello Elizabeth, Thanks for your reply, and it seems as if it will forever remain a mystery because if this info' is not recorded then it can't be found.
Once again
many thanks.
Chunkie.

Hi Chunkie,

Where was he born and what year, if you have the death certificate it should say what age he was when he died, therefore when was he born?

Hi again Elizabeth, As I said in my last reply , and based on prolonged searches for John Gall and Elizabeth Guthell that there was no recorded Marriage between these two and no other evidence of deaths or births of E.Guthell I tend to think that the evfidence on James gall's D/C was wrongly recorded and therefore that his parents were not John Gall / E Guthell ( no trace of her having existed) so probably/possibly the real parents were William gall/ Jean Guthrie and as such I like many others will be searching in the proverbial haystack .

Once again Thanks for your reply Elizabeth.

Hello again Chunkie,

Do you mean you have both the birth and death certificate of James Gall and you think they are incorrect??  That the parents names on these certificates are also incorrect??

Hi Elizabeth, Apologies for not making clear the known details re: James Gall's parents. I have copies of the death record showing J.Gall/ E.Guthell as his parents from different sources
and possible options for his bithdate but these do not show his parents. The real mystery is Elizabeth Guthell whom (as i've already indicated does'nt seem to exist) and that i've frequently come to the conclusion that she didn't exist and that (once again) i'm certain that she didn't exist. I just thought that someone else might also have been researching this area and put forward another explanation.
Many Thanks.

Duncan
