You're welcome.

Just wish every area had records that were as well documented and accessible as the Shetlands.

And that is so much information you have managed to get for me so thank you!! x

***alviegal*** I found that site - it's amazing! I have so much information from it! I think half of the Shetland Islands are now part of my family tree! :-)

Edit:

Death recorded in Lerwick 1942 and was 63yrs old.

Apologies Potty
I see you already posted this!

Potty - re:

"indexing project (batch) number: C11009-1
...
There are other baptisms for the family on the same site":

Scottish batch #s of the form C11ppp-1 or C11ppp-3 are not baptism records, but extracted from the GROS index of births (sim M11ppp-1 and M11ppp-3 are extracted from the GROS index of marrs) Here ppp is the parish #, 009 for Sandsting and Aithsting, as we can see from your census transcription post.

Possible for Jemima - the marriage cert will confirm her parents' names:
