Hi all,
I would appreciate a look up of a marriage of William Cook Stewart and Jean?ine Heggie, approx 1890-96, in Glasgow or a census of them with a son Archibald.
Cheers,
Debbie downunder.

You should be able to get the marriage on Scotland's People website. See www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk on what information is on Scottish certificates and how to order them online.
Any idea when son Archibald was born? I searched for 'Arch* Stewart' with father William and only one with mother close (Jane) that came up was born c1882 nowhere near Glasgow.

Thanks to all that replied.
This gives me something to move on with.
I had assumed different parents for my grandmother. How easily we are lead on the wrong path!
Now, after receiving a printout of a marriage cert. from New Zealand the correct (hopefully) info is the right path.
I have traced many generations from my father in Yorkshire and mother's father, New Zealand to Cornwall, but the Scotland line has been the most arduous, mainly to my Nana's secret life.
She came to New Zealand in 1920 with, we are assuming a different Christian name from her birth name. Anyhow, onward!
Cheers,
