Hi,

Can anyone help me I'm going very slow searching :-S I am looking for my family living or dead, just for the purpose of knowledge dont worry I dont want anything apart from info.

Her's what I do know...
John Thomson Simpson born Scotland 09/04/1914
moved to Lancaster and married Mary.
His parents James Simpson ( journeyman/Tailor) and Annie Darling (not sure if Darling is maiden name or middle name) lived and died in Scotland
I believe it to be the Edinburgh side, I know the name Castorphine from my childhood but no more.

I should know more I used to visit Scotland as a small child, however I do remember the name Sandy.

If any of this means anything to anyone, I would be really grateful if you would contact me.

Kind Regards Jackie <3

Problem that you can not view online birth certs in Scotland within the last 100 years but scotlandspople would you give you the details necessary to order the cert.

Scottish birth certs usually give the full names of parents and when they married
