Find Ancestors

Thanks Rootgatherer. Williamina Garland is my husband's aunt. He never knew of her existance and I'm trying to find out about her and if she had any children. Would Scotlands people be able to tell me this?

They would have been born after 1927 as they married then. If I can find these details on scotlandspeople site, I'll register again with them. Thanks

Alexander was aged 19 and his parents were Alexander Ross. Dock labourer (deceased) and Isabella Ross maiden surname Scott (deceased)

This looks like their marriage

1906 ROSS ALEXANDER SCOTT ISABELLA SYMING ST CLEMENT DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS 282/03 0126

Alexander Ross, aged 21, son of Alexander Ross Dock Labourer (deceased) and Mary Ann Ross maiden surname Dingwall (deceased)

Isabella Symington Scott, aged 21 years daughter of James Scott, Marine Stoker (deceased) and Isabella Scott maiden surname Symington (deceased)

You really need to buy some credits for Scotlandspeople as that is the only way to view these - there is no free access to these records.

Hello again

I am looking for the names of the parents of Alexander Ross. He married Williamina Garland:
1927 ROSS ALEXANDER GARLAND WILLIAMINA ROBE ST CLEMENT DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS

Please could someone look up this marriage to see if it shows his parenst names. Thanks

Thanks rootgatherer, i will this

Had a look on Ancestry for possible service records of William. The problem is we don't know if he enlisted as Stewart or McGregor but it may be worth checking this one out to see if it is your William?

Name: William McGregor
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886
Age at enlistment: 29
Residence: 27 Patons Lane, Dundee
Document Year: 1915
Regimental Number: 3772
Regiment Name: A & SH
Number of images: 14


This one married Ella Barry Parker in Dundee on 3rd October 1913 and there is one son listed - William Parker born 9 November 1914.

If you look up the marriage on Scotlandspeople you will get his parents names.

Linda, there are no subscriptions available for that census. You need to buy credits for Scotlandspeople and search there.

Hello, I wonder if anyone can check the scottish 1911 census for me please. I am looking for William McGregor born Blairgowrie 1885. He married early 1900's and had a son and a daughter. That's all I know. He may have been living in Dundee. Thanks

Linda, you can look here although it doesn't look hopeful!

As Aileen has said, sometimes the date and place of marriege were ficticious.

How do I get a copy of the marriage cert then? Please could you advise on which website to use for irish marriage certs. Thanks

That would be correct.....if they were being truthful....some unmarried people give fictious date and place of marriage.

Birth cert shows: David Dickie McGregor born 31/10/1929 dad William McGregor labourer address 208 seagate dundee mum jane mcgregor MS Thompson 1928 July 23rd fewry ireland. I'm not sure of the initial letter of fewry-it could be any other letter.

Does this mean they got married in Ireland?

Rootgatherer, where did you find the birth for David? I have been looking for it for a while.

Thanks. No I didn't know about RCE. I will look out for it.

Any one of these two will do. It is not uncommon for a birth to be registered in the registration district of the hospital that he was born in and also the registration district where the Mum lived.

Just wondering Linda, if when you were looking up some of the other births, did you check the entry to see if it had an RCE (Register of Corrected Entries) attached. Often in the case of illegitimacy, the mother went to court to prove paternity. Sometimes this shows not only the father's name but also gives an address.

I would like to trace David Dickie McGregors birth. He was born in Scotland probably in Dundee or nearby. He died in May 1938 aged 8. Please could someone check if this birth is registered and the ref number so that I can send away for his birth cert. Thanks

Was William Robertson not mary stewart's brother or should they have written commom law husband?

I don't have don't have davids birth only his death cert which shows william general labourer and jane mcgregor ns thomson he died in royal infirmary address 208 seagate dundee. he died 13/5/1938 aged 8.janes has signed her name as jane mcregor. but she was called mary jane. orn in 1930 but i don't know the date.

Thanks

Sorry
1907 was Mary McGregor Stewart Robertsons death....cert gives her parents as Peter and Catherine McGregor ms McLeish and is witnessed by Jessie Garland (daughter).
I haven't as yet found any marriage for William. I'm fairly sure he didn't marry Catherine. Do you have David's birth cert?....if he married David's mother date and place of marriage should be on it

Thanks Aileen. Please could you tell me why it shows 1907. What happened that year?

I have been looking for William McGregor but he has been on the census as Stewart. William married at the turn of the century but I don't know the date or who to. He joined the scots fusilers and fought in the 1st ww and later ww2 in the RAF. So we thought of sending for his army records to see if it gives any details.

Although we know that those childrren weren't James Stewarts they may not have the same dad as each other!

Info was from Scotland'sPeople.

I can't find a marriage for Mary and William Robertson.

Catherine Edison/ Addison was Jessie's sister or half sister and Arthur Grassie/Gracey was her half brother.
