Hi,
Sorry for the delay in getting back... only just noticed you added some info.
Please get back to me, I'm looking for any info at all on the line for James McMillan (born abt 1860) married Isabella.
I have him born in Scotland to Alexander and Mary (Mooney) but nothing more concrete than the 1871 Census showing them in Tanfield.
My ancestor was James' brother Thomas.
I have B/Cert for Thomas and John, but having great trouble with obtaining MarrCert for Alexandra and Mary, and also BCert for James, (which of course would give more info to trace)
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Post by: Radcliff on Monday 08 April 13 12:52 BST (UK)
Are you unsure because I put in the word Seghill,or have you some research that states this is not your family,of Lawsons,
The probate record I doubt is yours,unless of course Matthew came into a bit of money,as it did seem quite a lot of money for a hard working miner,and you state yours died in 1951,

To be 100% sure Isabelle is Matthews mother,you need his birth certificate,
I wouldnt verify any thing ,that may misslead you down the wrong path,
I can only make suggestions,as to who his mother may have been,
 Isabelle possibly has siblings,
