I have been trying to find MARY RATTRAY for ages. Could you help? Her date of birth is 1840-3 , probably 1842. Her parents are ROBERT and ISABEL and place of birth Dunnichen , Forfar. I have her marriage , childrens birth and her death. I also have her siblings- Margaret,Robert, David. THANKS, Rosalyn

Hiya, Can I ask where this data comes from. As I would find this useful. regards, Siobhan

Many thanks for the offer, Dawn. I am trying to trace the birth details of Margaret Mitchinson born Perth, probably 1827 but could be up to 1833. Her father was John Mitchinson and her mother was Catherine Thomson. Not sure if Margaret was registered as a Thomson or a Mitchinson as I suspect she was illigitimate as I can't trace the marriage on scotlandspeople. Thanks for your trouble Geoff Price

Hi Dawn thanks for the great offer......:) I am looking for a information on the births of Andrew and Mary Young children.....hopefully the maden name of Mary Young<P> Andrew Young m Mary ______ my guess would be a year before the first born or the same year of the first born so it would be 1825-1827.<P> Hugh b: 1827 Scotland<P> John b: March 1831 Scotland <P> Agnes b: 1832 -1833 Scotland <P> Margaret b: 1833-1834 Scotland<P> Thank you for the look up Bev

Hi Dawn Thankyou for the kind offer. I'm looking for children of Robert Anderson b18 Sep 1791 and Beatrix Morgan who married 3 July 1818 in Fife I presume. Likely to be Saline. Roberts parents were David Anderson and Agnes Fotheringham married 2 April 1779, again probably Saline. Also looking for the children/marriage details of Robert Anderson b1801 and Jemima Morgan b1801 both in Fife I think, likely to be Saline also. This Roberts parents were David Anderson b 6 October 1750 and Nanny Fotheringham. They married in 1779 again probably in Saline. I'm trying to find out if these two separate lots of people are indeed the same people and the dates are wrong. I have matched my tree with someone, we are both following the same line. We have pretty much the same names but 10 years of a difference with the two Roberts. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Leanne x

Dawn Many thanks for checking Walter GRIEVE. Can I push my luck and ask for Parential details in respect of a Michael GRIEVE b c1843 possibly Harwick. Many thanks Jon

I know they had a son Daniel Henderson Green born 1893, did he have siblings? Thanks even if you cant manage and good luck with your own search. Glynis

Thank you for searching -maybe the surname was spelt differently-RATTERAY or RATTARY. This woman was never born! Rosalyn

Hi Dawn, Hoping to find any information on any of the following:~ Robert Clow (born c.1832) Parents Alexander Clow and Grace (nee Clark) Margaret Fleming b.1837 to Alexander Fleming and Agnes (nee Brown) I have the wedding certificate 6/8/1859 Edinburgh so am assuming all parties are from this area. Whatever you can find in the time available would be great as I haven't yet obtained 1851 information to determine parents place of birth. Marion
