Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,534 Send Message	If you have access to Scotlands people you can download the images from there - instead of sending off to a Records office, you pay credits to see images of the originals as written in the church records books and you can then print/save to computer etc. An advantage over the English system. £7 for 30 credits - 1 credit to see results of searches and 5 credits to view each record (and print)

Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 44 Send Message	I am absolutely delighted and I thank you all very, very much for your time and patience and about 3hrs of determination..! I wish I had come for your experience earlier, but you know what it's like, you sort of want to do it yourself, but I just had to admit defeat!!.. Thank you Stuart X but thankyou all again for all trying so hard. I really, truly appreciate it.. have got a really good lead to get back further and hopefully link up with the Duart Castle McLeans eh..? Thankyou again Meryl

	Congratulations Stuart!!! Catholic parish records are now on Scotlands people (that's why i was wondering what religion they were earlier) - I've found some of my missing ancestors on there. Looks like Stuart has found some of yours! You must be over the moon Meryl :)

Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 44 Send Message	What do I do to get that Birth Record as it is before civil registration isn't it? I have got that feeling you get when you feel it's right you know.. I have..!

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,534 Send Message	If they were CAtholic and the eldest childwas born pre their marriage, maybe would account for not finding a Baptism - I searched 1845-1854 surname Mclean with varients, Father Peter, Mother Mary. Could be the younger two were born Liverpool. Sorry, new to Scotlands people - Eleanor born 9.11.1849,, baptised 1.12.1849 There is also a Mary Ann, same parents, same place for baptism born 8.9.1851 baptised 10.9.1851
Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 11,594 Send Message	~~~Secret Red ^^ Squirrel~~~ 007 1/2	Report	6 Feb 2012 20:33
	Ellen is short for Eleanor so she may switch between the two names :)
Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 44 Send Message	Meryl	Report	6 Feb 2012 20:32
Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 44 Send Message	O.M.G...Stuart., well that looks very likely doesn't it do you all think? AND, like I say on her Marriage cert.. her name is actually written as Eleanor, but she has signed it Ellen herself... ooo
