	In trying to find her.....where have you looked?
Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 10,943 Send Message	Catherine	Report	27 Dec 2012 09:00
	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?

	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

	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
	Researching: Nothing much
