reggie well i was not sure and just found out about dad twin we got told when we were little he died at birth so that wot we new but then my uncle today when i told him i was doin a family tree told me he was still born iam new to this so just wanted a little help

Strewth!!!

Wendy

For future reference.........'stillborn' is not quite the same as 'died at birth'.

Records for stillborns are not 'open'

If a child 'died at birth'..........it usually means that there is a birth registration, and a death registration, which can be accessed.

ok thanks pricky holly yea iam gettin there now will all ya help i can stat and look now didnt no my late nanas and grandas thank u xxx

Ah, well at least we know we are on the right track!

You will need the "Scotlandspeople" site for Scotland records.

It is not a subscription site...........you need to purchase credits to be able to view records.

that wot we new dad sister as but date of birth is right as well thanks kath so much xx my mams dad was scottish awell so ive just found out xx

thank u somuch for your helps yes dad twin was still born iam so great full for all your helps selina mair was my mam sister thank yous xxx

I can't find a birth of a Margaret as a sister for your father. The only likely birth is a Mary born 1925.

You would have to buy birth certificates to check out all of these births. It costs a fair bit of money to research your family history properly and be sure you have the right information.

As Reggie has already said there is no twin recorded for your dad so if he was a twin the other baby must have been stillborn otherwise the birth and death would have been registered.

There is no recorded birth on freebmd of a twin for Lewis. If there was a twin , he/she must have been stillborn.

Wendy

Please do try to use freebmd and look for info yourself. That is the fun part of family history research.

Also, look at the Genealogy Chat board, and read some of the threads which have tips and advice about how to go about researching your family.

Start with what you KNOW.............then work from that. And concentrate on ONE line at a time, or you'll get confused.

Hi Wendy and welcome to the boards.

If you check out Davison/Stanners births on FreeBMD, you will see that William and Tina had quite a few children.

I am not seeing a birth registered for a Tina Stanners in England or Wales.

Wondering if she was born in Scotland? Do you have any idea where she was born?

There are far too many William Davison's to be able to pin point which one is your Grandfather.

A copy of their marriage certificate would tell you how old they were when they married and the names and occupation's of their Fathers. (If they knew who their Fathers were of course)

The best place to purchase certificates is online here...

ok thanks so much for ya help kath i see how i get on thank you xxx

I'm not certain (you would need to buy certificates to prove it) but I think your dad had a sister called Mary and brothers called Alexander, Robert, John and Raymond.

I have to go to bed now. I will look at this thread tomorrow and see if you have got any further.

yea my father did kath

all i no is my dad was lewis allan kath x

If you use FreeBMD to look for births of children you enter the father's surname and the mother's maiden name and look for any births that come up in the area you are looking for from the date of the parent's marriage for about 25 to 30 years afterwards and see what births come up.
