Thanks Lesley - you answered my next question without me having to ask it! My one criticism of Scotlands People is that I can't find much mention of what records they don't have online. I will try the NAS - I have a feeling I'm going to have a long list for them. Do you know if the info contained in...

Thanks Leslie, I thought it might be something like that. I don't have all the marriages of their children but what I do have are fc of Scotland. You've given me something to go on with though, will search sideways as you suggested for the siblings marriages. Just so frustrating when I have the date...

Thanks all for your help so far with this one.

Annette, your a gem. Thanks!

Sorry, Alan, - bit quick to hit submit. (Try saying that fast!) Thanks for the info you posted, once I confirm Crawford as one of mine I will follow it up, I don't have access to the US records on Ancestry and I had no luck finding his death on SP. You wouldn't think there would be more than one Cra...

Hi everyone, Annette, I was wondering where you got your info on the 1841 census, I tried looking for that family on SP and Ancestry and came up with a blank. I'll try and type everything out logically as it's going round in circles in my head at the moment. I have a 51 census which I am very confid...

Hi Annette, I will certainly be coughing up credits to look at that one, it looks very promising and there are a lot of names there I haven't seen before. The three brothers that I do know about are there and the ages are right considering I know they rounded ages down for that census. Fingers cross...
