Finding my father in laws mother seems to be rather difficult, so can anyone help to find her,any of the McKerrell family please get in touch

Is this her in 1911 Ralph? You need to give people more information.

If you are looking only for relations, you would be best to put her name in the Search box above and see if anyone has her in their tree.

In trying to find her.....where have you looked?

Who is your father in law?

You have his mother's name so who was his father?
If you have your father in law's marriage certificate, then you should have his father's name and occupation and his address at the time of his marriage?

Did Bessie have any siblings? If so, then when and where were they born?

The Durham Elizabeth is not her, she was born Scotland according to Ralphs tree

Thanks jax.............it would have been sensible for Ralph to have told us that

Ralph.............

Purchase credits for Scotlands people, and look for her in the 1911 census

Thanks Reggie
Bessie is Scottish,but she moved to England 1930ish so i have been exploring alternative methods to find her,i have credits and will use them
Thanks again
Ralph

Ralph

What are you trying to find?

What happened to her?

Where and when she died?

You need to say what you are looking for, as your opening post is not very clear

pm from Ralph:-

Hi Catherine
We have very little info about Bessie,there was no father on birth certificate
My father in law was adopted ,Bessie went to England and married,i have tried ways of finding her.
Thanks for your help
Ralph
