Hi, can anyone help me find the births of children & marriage of parents (took place between 1841-51) for this family please.
From 1851 census-Dumfries
John Milburn Head 27
Margaret (nee Green) Wife 34
Peter 6
Mary 4
Jane 2
All born Dumfries
Jane Green Mother/law 84 B Lochmaben
Any help greatly appreciated as IGI seems to cover period but no luck finding them. Also how can I find marriage for Jane Green - no clues except a James Green Milburn born 1858 to John & Margaret, so maybe she married a James?
Have hit a brick wall, this is my last chance, so anyone with more experience than myself having a look would be great.

Thanks Ann GG but not right family.

Flick Thought Scotlands People only covers from 1855, have I got that wrong?

Maureen Scotlandspeople also have the births recorded in the OPRs. They also have Catholic births prior to 1855, I think.

Thanks rootgatherer, I didn't know that. I have looked at what Family Search (IGI) has & had no luck. Will give Scotlandspeople a go.

Cheers

Very sorry Ann GG you are right, it is correct family. Must be having a senior moment, don't know what I was reading.

Thanks Ann & rootgatherer for help.

For interest:

Possible this may be Jane Green in the 1841 census.

1841 Census
3 Records found
Piece: SCT1841/821 Place: Dumfries -Dumfries-shire Enumeration District: 5
Civil Parish: Dumfries-Burgh Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: St. Mary's
Folio: 5 Page: 9
Address: Gasstown Village

Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks GREEN Jean F 70 Poor Widow Dumfries-shire Occupation crossed off GREEN James M 25 Cotton Hand Loom Weaver Dumfries-shire GREEN Elisabeth F 20 Cotton Hand Loom Weaver Dumfries-shire

Can't find a marriage for Jane.


However, as Rootgatherer has mentioned, if you download any of the children's birth certificates who were born after 1855, these should include the date and place of the parents marriage.
