1878 Marriage look-up required
« on: Friday 04 September 15 13:12 BST (UK) »
Hello all

I'm helping a new friend with her family tree.

Can anyone supply the full details for the marriage in 1878 at Victoria of Alexander Cress Galbraith & Christine Reid.

Thanks

Hi,
I am a descendent of Alexander's father James.
I would be interested to exchange information with your friend assumes he/she descends from Alexander?

Hi mikel2009

Thank you for posting.

I have sent her an email. She's not a member of Rootschat. Maybe she'll join up and reply directly.

If not, I'm sure we can work something out.
