You may be able to fit it in with children's names? or even grandchildrens names - they usually use the same names over and over.

I've also had a look for a marriage for a John Tassie between 1810 - 1833 .. there is 2 that comes up ..

John Tassie
Jean Wallace
30 May 1812
EASTWOOD - LANARK

John Tassie
Magdalen Owen
30 July 1814
FORRES - MORAY

If you find out any more information i'll give it a shot but unfortunately because you don't have much to go on the info i've given you is pretty much all I can just now.

Have you got his death? His wife's name may be on that?

I had a check for deaths for both of the woman ..

Magdalen - there is no deaths in Scotland for a Magdalen Tassie between 1814 and 1833 or a Magdalen Owen.

There is a death for a Janet Tassie but it says she is 73 years old - which doesnt quite add up with him .

Hope this helps - if even just slightly.

Emma

Hi Emma,
Hoping you can find the birth records of Rosemary Keen born Glasgow between 1945-1950 to James Keen & Mary Lynch. Also for a possible death of their daughter Catherine b.11 May 1948. I believe she may have died in infancy.

Thanks in advance, Jim

Jim,

The birth of Rosemary Keen is too recent to be seen online as they need to be over 100 years old but there is a death ..

Sorry it's not much help but it may give you a small lead from something?

Emma

Elaine,

There is a death for a John Keane in Greenock in 1972 aged 82 - but because the death is too recent it would need to be looked up at Register House in Edinburgh.

I can't seem to find a death for a Bridget - but once you see John's death you'll be able to see if she died before or after him..

Sorry

Emma

Emma

Thank you so much for all the info for John Tassie.

Knowing so little about this man the info gives me something to explore :-)

Thank you again
Chris

Emma, you're a star! Many thanks, I'll be able to order copies of these certificates now....Linda

Hi Emma,

Wondering if you would please have any time to assist me.

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to locate the death of a Thomas Smith Marshall, who was born 9 January 1883 in Montrose, Angus to William Marshall and Helen Hutcheon.

I have traced him on both the 1891 and 1901 census returns where he was residing with his parents at 5 Commerce Street, Montrose and employed as a Blacksmiths Apprentice.

He seems to have dissappeared after that and I've not been able to trace him since!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Rachelle

Hi Emma,

If i may take up your kind offer is it possible you may be able to find two births for me.

James Munro abt 1853
Helen Munro abt 1855 (various spellings of christian name)
Their parents were Robert Munro and Bathia Murray
they were married on the 26 may 1853 in Old Machar Aberdeen,
a witness was William Munro.

Two of their children were born in Aberdeen Isabella 1856 and Robert 1858 which i have certificates for.

If you do find the births could i pm you my email please for the certs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ,thank you.

Regards and best wishes.
Maurice.

Hi Emma,
Thank you for the offer. I'm not familiar with Scotlands People but you will know if this is a wild goose chase or not. I have a Robert Ingram in Co Antrim Ireland B-circa 1816. Any records that may have told me more have been destroyed but I thought he just may have been born in Scotland, perhaps Ayrshire. Following the scottish naming pattern his father would have been John.
Thanks for hearing this out...Heather

Rachelle,

I've had a look for a death off a Thomas Marshall but because the name is so popular there are lots of them - none around the same sort of area you said he was born tho - I've also had a quick check on ancestry and nobody on there seems to have him either.

Sorry I couldn't be much help

Emma
