There are also 39 marriages of John Gilchrist's in Scotland between 1776 - 1800

Sorry

Emma

Natalie,

Unfortunately because the birth is less than 100 years ago it cannot be viewed online - it would need to be ordered or viewed in Register House in Edinburgh

Sorry

Is there any way you may be able to find out where abouts in Scotland? as I don't have enough credits to search through all of them ...

I can't seem to find any information for you and have been pretty useless .. I can't find a birth for the 2nd William either - both William J McCall's born in Scotland around that area have mother's as Elizabeth ..

Sorry

Emma

Dylan,

I've had a look at the 3 births for Elizabeth Richardson in Scotland in 1906 and none of them have a father as Robert - One of them is illegitimate and the other ones father is John ..

There is a Mary Elizabeth Richardson born in Aberdeen although her father's name is not Robert and it is in September

There is also an Elizabeth Bailley Richardson, Elizabeth Bell Richardson, Elizabeth Campbell Richardson and Elizabeth Young Richardson - do any of these middle names fit in with the rest of the family names?

Sorry I couldn't be much help

Thanks Kay, don't know why I didn't think to look on Family Search, but would Scotlands People have any more details eg name of parents?

Pam

Hi Emma I was wondering if you would look up Margaret Taylor Carcary 1879 I would like to know who her parents were

Really appreciate your time and effort

Fee

Hello Emma,
Can you please find a death for the following two people for me please?

I would be really grateful if you can give me the death dates, what they died from and who registered the deaths please.

Many thanks,

Sandra

Hi Emma Im afraid its a puzzle and would appreciate any help you might give.
birth cert. Mary Ann Taylor. 1868? Teltsden.Cardinshire, census 1911. not sure of spelling not very clear.
marriage cert. Mary Ann Taylor = Frederick Charles Buxton. Alfreton. Derbyshire. 1900
never known Taylor always Mary Ann Stewart. Please can you help? Joan

Hello Emma....my GGG Grandfather was John Gilchrist born 1757.onoe year either side........I am aware of two such births in Scotland..and of the fact that both married.......

Here is my problem.....I'm looking to find if either of them (or any others) were widowed subsequently..that is before 1800.......

I can't find where my John was born.....twas either Scotland or London....but in 1802 he married Ann Gregory in Derbyshire........he was by hen 45.and Ann was only 26.

Which to my mind means she was his second wife..so if he DID come from Scotland he presumably lost his first wife.

There are no other John Gilchrists 1757 that I know of....

Thanks in advance for any information you might find.

Derek

Hi Emma
Thank you for your offer of look-ups!

Im trying to locate the Birth Certificate or at least some info on my Grandmother Margaret Dowie Gourlay born 1925. Kelty, Fife.

Is this something you can do? Sorry, still fairly new to all this.
Kind regards

Natalie
