Find Living Relatives

I now know the whole family was born in Edinburgh
An they moved to hackney, !!! May help

I am ringing some of the number I have found but no luck
Yet, waiting on one to come back to me xx fingers crossed

Lisa there is an address; why not just send a letter? :-)

I am trying to find records first

What records are you trying to find Lisa?

His birth will be on scotlandspeople which is pay to view...but as you don't know when he was born there could be dozens with that name

I suggested the marriage certificate for what seems to be the 2nd marriage of that Christopher's 1st wife

to be sure it was the same person (i.e. that the woman who married was the same person as had married a Christopher previously) (which would still not show whether it was the same Christopher of course)

that isn't a matter of 'finding' though ... it's a matter of ordering :-)

I will need to start ordering !!! X

actually I should have said I mainly recommended getting the marriage certificate for CA Robertson in Hackney as well to see what that CAR's occupation was

I'm just naturally suspicious of the occupation 'chef' (unless he was known to be a chef while your mother was living with him)

it's just that an ancestor of mine called his father a chef when he married in the late 1800s and it was a total fabrication :-)

and we're looking at another one on the board just now where the person called his father a chef when he married in 1930 and there is nothing anywhere to suggest such a person existed ...

I am collect birth records on Tuesday gonna have a day with my aunt
And get everything I need to find this man
Thanks once again

Please can anyone tell what other ways there are to search for Christopher many thanks lisa

Did you purchase the marriage cert as suggested? or send a letter?

Nudged to overtake new, duplicate, thread which should be deleted

There were seven Christopher Robertsons born in Midlothian 1940-60 - six in Edinburgh and one just outside.

One is just Christopher with no middle name, the others all have middle names, but not Alexander.

thank you so much argyllgran i will have another look, xx

Lisa have you done any of the things suggested at all ??

there is nothing much else at scotlandspeople to 'have another look' at ... the search results will show no useful details and the birth certificates have to be ordered and paid for and cannot be read on line ...

if you had purchased the 1970 marriage certificate I suggested 4 months ago, you would have known long ago whether that was likely your CR for the price of a few pounds

Think I will be deleting my details from here and my accounts
It's not worth the way you get spoken (wrote) to
:-D :-D :-D :-S

That's your choice Lisa

But an acknowledgement from you that you had done what was suggested, rather than start a new thread would have been good

Lisa, people are trying to help ( on all your various queries, however sparse the info you have given) but no one can do that unless you follow advice.

Lisa would you like to share how you know this? --

'I now know the whole family was born in Edinburgh'

If you are getting information from someone, it is information we do not know and we do not know how reliable it is

doing searches based on you saying 'I now know' ... that could be wasting time if what you have been told is not reliable

as far as deleting your account, it seems rather pointless to delete something you have paid for before your time expires :-)

also as has been pointed out your post will always be here if you don't delete it, and someone who does an internet search anytime in future will be able to contact you, as long as you keep your email address current in your account ... and also click 'Watch This' up at the top so you get email notification of any replies in the thread, if you have not done that

1956 we believe to be the year still searching and haven't found my brothers dad
If any any one has information please get in touch
Cheers

yeah well good luck

I see my efforts were pointless I guess.

I have no idea why all these many months later you would not have got the marriage certificate I suggested, at the very least, if you still have not done that.

... or written to the address I gave you which is still current on the electoral roll (and the telephone number is still current in the directory at BT on line so I don't know what the problem with that was ...)
