Hi Emma,

Wondering if you would please have any time to assist me.

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to locate the death of a Thomas Smith Marshall, who was born 9 January 1883 in Montrose, Angus to William Marshall and Helen Hutcheon.

I have traced him on both the 1891 and 1901 census returns where he was residing with his parents at 5 Commerce Street, Montrose and employed as a Blacksmiths Apprentice.

He seems to have dissappeared after that and I've not been able to trace him since!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Rachelle

Elaine,

There is a death for a John Keane in Greenock in 1972 aged 82 - but because the death is too recent it would need to be looked up at Register House in Edinburgh.

I can't seem to find a death for a Bridget - but once you see John's death you'll be able to see if she died before or after him..

Sorry

Emma

Jim,

The birth of Rosemary Keen is too recent to be seen online as they need to be over 100 years old but there is a death ..

Hi Emma,
Hoping you can find the birth records of Rosemary Keen born Glasgow between 1945-1950 to James Keen & Mary Lynch. Also for a possible death of their daughter Catherine b.11 May 1948. I believe she may have died in infancy.

Thanks in advance, Jim

Chris,

There is no births for a John Tassie in Scotland in 1795 but between the years 1785 -1905 there is ...

John Tassie
19 June 1788
Father - John Tassie
Mother - Margaret Sharp
GLASGOW

John Tassie
13 January 1791
Father - Robert Tassie
Mother - Agnes Gault
ABBEY RENFREW

John Tassie
14/10/1793
Father - William Tassie
Mother - Janet Smith
Glasgow

John Tassie
27/04/1794
Father - James Tassie
Mother - Margaret Slater
Cathcart – Lanark

John Tassie
27/11/1796
Father - John Tassie
Mother - Maren Greenshields
Douglas - Lanark

John Tassie
08/10/1797
Father - Robert Tassie
Mother - Elizabeth Cochran
Abbey - Renfrew

John Tassie
20/02/1799
Father - Alexander Tassie
Mother - Ann Lang
Eastwood - Lanark

You may be able to fit it in with children's names? or even grandchildrens names - they usually use the same names over and over.

I've also had a look for a marriage for a John Tassie between 1810 - 1833 .. there is 2 that comes up ..

John Tassie
Jean Wallace
30 May 1812
EASTWOOD - LANARK

John Tassie
Magdalen Owen
30 July 1814
FORRES - MORAY

If you find out any more information i'll give it a shot but unfortunately because you don't have much to go on the info i've given you is pretty much all I can just now.

Have you got his death? His wife's name may be on that?

I had a check for deaths for both of the woman ..

Magdalen - there is no deaths in Scotland for a Magdalen Tassie between 1814 and 1833 or a Magdalen Owen.

There is a death for a Janet Tassie but it says she is 73 years old - which doesnt quite add up with him .

Hope this helps - if even just slightly.

Molly,

I've checked for a birth of a David Twiname for around that time and with William as a father but nothing seems to show - there is ..

John Twiname
13 January 1838
Father - William Twiname
Mother - no name shown on the certificate
KIRKPATRICK FLEMING - DUMFRIES

I am thinking this may be a sibling of David?.

There is also 6 children with a father William Twiname in Crossmichael - Kirkcudbright between 1770 and 1838 - Twiname doesn't seem to be a popular name maybe they are relatives? ...

Agnes Colvile Twiname
21 February 1822
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Jean Copland
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Alexander Twiname
16 August 1827
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Jean Copland
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Grace Twiname
12 January 1819
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Jean Copland
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

William Twiname
28 February 1815
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Jean Copland
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Alexander Twiname
9 April 1795
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Grace Muir
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

John Twiname
30 November 1770
Father - William Twiname
Mother - Janet Black
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Not sure if that is much help.

I also had a look for a birth of a William Twiname around the year you said and there is only one that looks hopeful.

William Twyname (May have been a spelling mistake)
23 May 1790
Father - John Twyname
Mother - Margaret Carson
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

There is also ..

Margaret Twyname
1 January 1795
Father - John Twyname
Mother - Margaret Carson
CROSSMICHAEL - KIRKCUDBRIGHT

Hope this has been useful

Hi Emma

If I may take you up on your very kind offer.

I am looking for the baptism of John Tassie. He gives his birth as 1795 in Lanark.

And if I may be cheeky?....For the same man, a marriage. In 1833 he married in England as a widower so I wonder if his previous marriage was in Scotland.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.
