Ive just started doing my tree and Im already finding it difficult! I am trying to get any information I can on my Dads side of the family and Im already struggling with his grandparents! I know they were Robert and Ella born in Scotland but have no clue of dates of birth/death. My Dads father was also Robert, born in Edinburgh and had a brother Douglas. Any help would be very much appreciated! |

There is no Robert Cameron & Ella - (Normally shortened version of another name) on SP. May need to order birth certs and work backwards. |

I have checked Eleanor, there are 3 but much later than would fit. I also looked at Ellen and Elizabeth, but too many results. They maybe amongst these. If anyone else has any suggestions on the name Ella I will look them up. |

Do you know if your grandfather (Robert) or his brother Douglas had middle names? |
