Can anyone with access to Scotlands People help with details of the following?

William BLANCE (born abt 1848 "Scotland") married Janet SIM 1870 RD Blythwood

Elizabeth BLANCE born 1872 RD Tingwall - who were her parents ?

I have checked the Indexes but there are so many William Blances and I do not understand the RDs!!

Only someone who has paid for SP units will be able to see any more than you can, Elizabeth

To identify the RD’s your best bet is to google

Thank you Maddie

It is the first set,the Glasgow group of William / Janet / Elizabeth.

From 1891 they appear in Middlesborough and in 1910 Elizabeth marries into my maternal line as Elizabeth Blanche born in Middlesborough !!

Thank you again :-)
