Find Ancestors

Thank you for your for help and suggestions. I have done many of my family trees and helped so many with there families but ive found this side of my dads so awkward as i said before with so many children born out of wedlock, I have worked very hard on this side managed to find a lot, I was given the marriage of William Wilson Shand by a very nice lady in Aberdeen. Also ive tried to find the dad of my grandma who was known as Mary Mackie Shand so he must have been a Mackie. She was one of 4 children with different dads i have founf them.

Susanne probably discovered that William Wilson Shand had married from his DC. Scottish ones have more info than the English and Welsh versions.

http://www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/research/deaths-1856-present.html

The following information can be found on death certificates 1856 onwards.

— Name and surname of deceased

— Occupation

— Marital status

— If married the name of the spouse

— When and where died

— Sex

— Age

— Name, surname and occupation of father

— Name and maiden surname of mother

— If parents are deceased

— Cause of death

— Signature, address (if not where death occurred) and relation of informant

— Where and when the death was registered and the signature of registrar

There's a labelled example of a couple from 1881 here

http://www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/pdf/SP%204%201881%20D.pdf

A couple by those names were married in Aberdeenshire in 1915 according to SP.

If you don't know when/where he married, where did you get the 'info' about his wife's name?

Hi,
Thank you folk. William Wilson Shand i dont know when he married . All i know is he married Jane Milton and that he died 7-12-1935 at Fyvie aberdeen. Informant at death was george Law Fowlie - brother in law. Also i noticed on a Mcrobbie census their was another daughter i didnt know existed Margaret Mcrobbie or Maggie?
This family on Dads mums side is so confusing so many children out of wedlock to Jane and margaret Shand. There is more but been able to find a bit more on them.

Yeah Ann, it's a pity the FS censuses don't put the whole h/h together on their UK transcriptions like they do on their US ones. Only England & Wales 1871/81 are really of much use. Anyways here's the Scottish 1891 h/h:

To find any possible marriage, you will have to use Scotland's people website.

It is pay-to-view, so lookups are not an option

You have given no date info with regard to the second part of your request...............

Have you asked about this family before?

The location seems very familiar..........

BMD records are probably on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk which is a pay to view site. Have you looked there?

On a free search, there's one death match for 1915 - 1940, for Williamina but no exact marriage match with the spelling you've given

Could anyone help me with Williamina Ewing born 1889 Insch Aberdeen. she was the daughter of Jane Ewing and stepdaughter of William Coutts.
did she go on to marry and have family?
Also Jane Ewing above mentioned above had a half brother mother Jane Shand and dad William Wilson. His name is William Wilson Shand born Kennethmont Aberdeen he married a Jane Milton cannot find if they had family.Thank you
Susanne
