Hi Sheila, thanks for kind offer. Do you have any information on a William Kerr & Margaret Kerr(nee Fleming) in Edinburgh, somewhere? I know this pair were in Edinburgh about 1800 but can't find there deaths. Also an Alexander Kerr married to Janet(nee Roberts) son of above again in Edinburgh. Looking for their deaths. Sorry but that is all I know. Will understand if not enough info. Thanks Hilary

Like everyone else printing from Scotlandspeople. I have 3 certs on every print,but does anyone else wonder what happened to these other people. Particularly the births. I have one which haunts me a little. On 12 December 1883, a boy was born at Glasgow Maternity Hospital (Rottenrow?). As well as the stigma of being illegitimate at that time, his mother called him Napoleon McBride. What was the woman thinking? I often wonder how this poor wee soul fared in the world. Christine.

Thanks for this thread sheila great idea. Can anyone look up the birth of John Kerr born 22nd or 29th December between 1945 and 1954. Don't know what area in Glasgow precisely but I know he was brought up in Govan. Thanks for any help available. I know it is such a common name but I have felt as though I am up against a brick wall on this one. I don't know any names of his family either. Soz. Mo

Helen Berry christened 4th Decenber 1802 - her mother was Jean MacNair and father John Berry - she was the only surviving child I can copy the info and mail it to you if you want. on the 1851 census there were Berry's working at the potterys

Hi folks, I've hit a brick wall with my lot, my nan either doesn't remember anything or doesn't want to, haven't quite decided which yet!! Anyway she said her mum was Rose French born in Motherwell , dad Albert Thompson I found a marriage which I'm 99% sure is my two but cannot find anything before this. 24 JAN 1917 BOROURBEG?? KINLOCHLEVEN ARGYLLSHIRE. The two people are, ALBERT THOMPSON, 27, father jack thompson, labourer, mother maryann thompson (kelly) deceased AND ROSE FRENCH, 26, father jack french labourer (deceased), mother sarah french (johnson) deceased. My nan, lily thompson was born 9 mths after the wedding but said she has a brother frederick who is 2 yrs older, cant find him either!! nan said they moved to bolton when she was 6 mths old so they must have been born in scotland. I looked on census and for parents marriages, and for rose and alberts births, but cant figure out what other names jack was used for (john, jock?) and i've now run out of credits, ( I dont have credit card to get anymore) if any of you can help at all i would be very grateful, thanks for reading this, wend xx
