For parish records you can look on Familysearch site which is free to search:

/www.familysearch.org

As I understand it Scottish registration for births, marriages and deaths started in 1855. You need to buy credits and use this site:

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Just checked - it seems mary Ann was born Bermondsey.

Hello Jan thank you for that will look on familysearch if not scotlandspeople is looking good

Susan

No birth coming up on scotlandspeople for Alexandria.

There is this possible birth for Mary Ann:

Births Sep 1878 (>99%)
ANDERSON Mary Ann St. Saviour 1d 30

George and Mary look a little old to be starting a family.

Thank you Potty could you poss look up the births if poss for George and Mary ??

Susan, there are lots of possible marriages for a George Anderson to a Mary. You really need to get Mary Ann's birth cert for her mother's maiden name.

There is this baptism on familysearch - it is a submitted record but is part of a large batch and as it gives exact dates, I would think it correct - I will check it on scotlandspeople:

GEORGE ANDERSON Pedigree
Birth: 19 JAN 1818
Christening: 09 FEB 1818 Forfar, Angus, Scotland
Parents:
Father: JAMES ANDERSON Family
Mother: ALISON MILNE

Edit: coming up as a match on scotlandspeople.

Thank you very much potty do you think then this is my George Anderson and his parents also you are right I need to get Mary Ann birth cert.

KInd regards

Susan

Hi Susan,

Yes, I think that George is yours. Come back to the thread when you have Mary Ann's birth cert and we can look for a marriage. If they married in Scotland, which looks probabable, and if it was after 1855, the marriage cert will give both their fathers' and mothers' names.

Hi thanks Potty will do that then get Mary Ann birth cert then come back and then take it from there, would like to get a little further with the Andersons if poss Be in touch

Kind regards

Susan

Is this Mary Ann's marriage? William and Alexandrina Hyatt were witnesses. Sister Alexandria perhaps?

The place of birth for Mary in 1891, could read Kilmun, which is near Holy Loch, Dunoon, Argyllshire.

BUT Mary Ann's birth certificate, which you are getting, should tell us more.

Yes alviegal thats is Mary Anns marriage and I believe Alexandria was one of the witnesses, she was her sister This birth cert for her obviously really holds the key doesnt it.

Kind regards

Susan

I now have Mary Anns birth certificate and her mother maiden name was Weir and also have her marriage cert and one of the witnesses was her sister Alexandriana Hyatt which was mary anns sister.

I hope that someone will now be able to help me find possibly births for mary anns parents notcied on her cert her fathers name is Alexander George but on mary anns marriage although he was deceased he just uses George and not Alexander??

Kind regards

Susan
