Hi Ellen, Thank you for your kind offer. I am trying to find the whereabouts for two Parfreys in 1881 - William Henry Parfrey who was married in Lanarkshire 1872 and George Thomas Parfrey born 1873 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland. No sign of them on 1881 England census - thank you so much. Best wishes, Jackie

Ellen Report 2 Nov 2005 22:50

Okay folks - not much luck tonight I'm afraid. Jackie: No William or George Parfreys born Scotland anywhere on the UK 1881, Scotland or anywhere else. Either out of the country or very badly mistrancribed. Alan - too many John M(a)cKays (over 200 born 1875 +/- 5 years alone). None John D M(a)cKay. Checked scotlandspeople and cannot find a birth either. Will need more info to help you. Mhairi - what was Christina's son's name? Several possibles, but nothing can tie down. If I can find her son and wife, I can work from there. Regards Ellen.

Hey Ellen Sons name was John Robertson married to Jane Ann Ross. They are living in Brackla near Janes parents. The address on Chritina's death cert is Harriet Field and the informer is a daughter called Jane. I do not know anything about Jane because the first i heard of her was when i got Christina's death cert. Hope that helps Mhairi
