Re: two missing M(a)cDonalds
Hello Mary, I resumed the search after a break over the weekend to return firstborn and father-in-law to their respective homes. Catherine did not die in Glasgow between censuses, but I could not find a likely marriage. Jane did not marry in the early 1900s: I thought of the possibility that she was...

Re: can't find a death
Hello Trish, a very frustrating family. There is no sign of Louis Rae (all spelling variations) in any available UK census before 1901, and no death of either parent in Scotland. His children with Elizabeth can not be found anywhere, even John Alexander Rae, who I suspect married Jane Rothwell in th...

Re: can't find death
Hello Trish,
when and where were the children of Elizabeth Rae (ms Agnew) born? They may help in tracing the family.

Re: viruses
Hello David, I put my hand up. I posted about your dictionary being corrupted by the virus to create disenable out of disable, then edited it when I checked and found the word. After second thoughts, I deleted the post, not to avoid looking stupid (which I frequently am), but in case it was not thou...

Re: batches of birth entries
Hello Katherine, I do not know if the ministers in Ayrshire got together and promoted the idea, but the parish of Sorn has at least a dozen pages of such mentions of births. The longest entry that I found was for 8 McCrae offspring, and it read: "The following the lawful children of Gordon Hebron Mc...

Re: English marriage certificate
Hello Sandra, English certificates contain less detail than their Scottish counterparts, and there is no way to get the details online unless someone else has researched this family and has published the transcribed details. The heading will be Marriage solemnized at <e.g. the parish church> in the ...

New method of despatch
Hello all,
from today's paper:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... 051139.ece
I am attracted to this method of burial within a potato skin (but not willing to try it just yet). Will we have Spud-u-Like Promotoria?
Regards,
John

Sporran licence
Hello all,
had a nasty moment earlier: thought that I might have to pass round the begging bowl for a licence. Luckily, I came into existence before 1994.
