Hi Rosalyn Sorry none of these look like yours. 3 Rachels and 1 Johanna only around that age, and not together, or with William and Jane.

Janet As Janet was born in 1910, the chances are that William and Mary may not even have been born in 1881. There are a couple of very young William Davie and Mary Sutherlands on there, but none of a couple together. I've checked Scotlandspeople for a marriage to try to get some idea of their ages, but with no luck. Until you have a little more info, we won't be able to know if any of these children might be your William or Mary. If you do know any more about them which would help us to narrow it down, I'd be happy to look again. Regards Ellen.

Janice Here are Andrew & Mary and family. Also I think these are James & Jean/Jane (I have found the Jean/Janes in my family change back and fore between the two). They are the only possible couple in Old Monklands, and live just a street away from Andrew and family, so its likely its them.

Suzanne I'm sorry, but if Ella was 16-25 in 1915, we're not going to find her on the 1881 census. If you know she was in Scotland, you'll need to look on www.scotlandspeople(.)gov.uk. Remove the brackets. Its pay per view but not terribly expensive. You can look for the 1901 census - but you will need a little more info to be able to find her without spending a fortune. For a start, the area of Scotland. Best of luck with your search, sorry I could not help. Regards Ellen.

Hi Ellen I wonder if you could be so kind to look up JEANNIE FORBES for me. The information I have says she was born in 1871 and her parents were Thomas Forbes and Jane Angus. They should be in Aberdeen. Thanks in advance.

Hi, would it be possible for you to find an Archibald BEGG and wife Christina Wright Begg. Possibly in Lanarkshire and guessing around the Douglas area. Not sure of their ages at this time. They adopted my ggrandmother and as yet I have found no other children in their family so I am thinking that she may have been an only child. Thanks for any help Gloria
