« on: Sunday 22 April 12 17:32 BST (UK) »
I’m looking for information regarding my  Gt.Grandparents family and in particular where their children were born. His name was James Chapman b. 1839, Abercorn?  and his wife’s name was  Janet, nee Henderson. b. 1845 Dalmeny.
They had a Grandchild buried at Abercorn, Alice b. April 1903, d. July 1903, I would like to know who her parents were.
Any other information, occupations etc. regarding this family would be appreciated.
