Post by: oldbear on Monday 28 January 08 18:42 GMT (UK)

Researching the Mavor family in Dysart Fife and would like information on the children of Henry Allan and Joanna Mavor who were married in 1873. I have 8 children with dates of birth, does anyone have anything else?

Hi Oldbear

It might help people if you listed the children that you have and their approx. birth years. In this way, they will be able to determine which if any are missing from your research  :)

Regards.

Thanks for your interest Monica, I would appreciate the census info. I would love to find out marriage/death details too, I hoped someone would be researching a branch of this tree and could give me some help.
