Title: Is it possible that someone can give me parentage details for Robert Chisholm?
Post by: Jaahda on Wednesday 22 May 13 12:23 BST (UK)
HI,
I'm 'stuck' early on on this one;
Robert David Chisholm (deceased) born 3rd Qtr, 1926, GRO; West Derby 8b, page 1088

I have "mother - Cleghorn" but I have been unable to find any marriages between Chisholm and Cleghorn in the 20 years preceding Robert's birth.

Thanks :-)

Are you sure there was a marriage? I'm struggling to find one too  ???

Have you got the actual certificate? It may be possible that it was a second marriage for his mother and that Cleghorn was her maiden name. The certificate should give you both names if that is the case.

Do you have any further details ie his parents' first names?

Could this be his baptism? I know the middle name is different.
Do you know his father's first name?

Where have you looked? Chisholm and Cleghorn are both Scottish surnames of course.

So sorry folks - I know no more than his GRO index birth entry.

Thanks to everyone who has looked!
I'm certain his middle name is David.

Perhaps I will have to order the cert!


Ah - yes - perhaps I will go look it up on SP too - thanks for that suggestion.

Thanks :-)

Hi Jaahda

Do you know when & where he died? If he died overseas, his death cert may show his parents names.

Ah - he died in Australia .....believe it or not - tho I am in Australia I am unaware if Aussie death certs have this info.
I have not - so far - ventured into Aussie genealogy.

Does anyone else know the answer to this?

Thanks

I don't know what state he died in but a quick google search for 'what information is on an Australian death certificate' revealed this

Other searches may reveal more information.
