Hello Jack

It looks like I might be finally back up and running again, I had some serious internet problems that I only got sorted out yesterday

On re-reading this section I realised that I had incorrectly typed Graigshead instead of Craigheads Shotts, which you pointed out

Now for the task of fixing up my family history programme, and re-entering the gedcom file when I can find it

As sods law would go it is on an floppy, but now my floppy drive doesnt want to work so I will have to go to a friend and transfer it onto a CD aaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Again thanks for the assistance

Stew

Well I finally got hold of Alexander Stewart and his wife Mary Davidsons DC

$\:D/$

Mary Stewart (Davidson) D. 15 Oct 1915 in Larkhall, Lanark aged 58yrs.
Alexander Stewart D. 14 Jan 1922 in Salsburg, Shotts aged 71 yrs.

So this tentatively puts his birth as 1851, as opposed to the 1848 birth.

A success story, I now have three sets of grandparents in a row $\:D/$

Well done Stewie!
So maybe Alexander should've been 9 months in 1851? and that scholar was an error?
But no matter - isn't it great to find a Death Cert!
(non genealogists can't understand why finding deid folk should make anyone so happy...)

Thanks Catriona and Jack

Yes it is great finding certificates. Finding this pair filled in the gaps between my grandfather and gggrandfather, I was fair dancing a jig when I found them (weel in the heid anyway

). So now I have both main lines back a fair way. Of course there are one or two who I probably will never get any more information on, such as Alex's 1851 (or is it 1848

) birth. As they were born or died pre 1855.
