hi All,

I have just received an extract entry of birth for Mary Reid :-

Mary Reid = 20 October 1916 (2hr 26mins prem)
Royal Maternity Hospital Edinburgh
Donald Reid   Chauffeur  (lance corporal 120968 A.S.C.M.T)
Domicile: 42 Bambourgh Terrace North Shields
Nellie Reid  M S Williams  1906 June 06 Aberdeen
it was signed by Nellie Reid

I also have a registrar's certificate for there marriage:-

Donald Reid   Bachelor   Caretaker    Motor Car Garage  10a Justice Mill Lane Aberdeen
Nellie Abel   Spinster  Domestic Servant  431 Union Street Aberdeen.

On Mary Reid's Birth Cert Nellie has her maiden surname as WILLIAMS but on her marriage she is Nellie Abel? I also cannot find these people on any census records can anyone help?

thank you

From this marriage cert, what were the names of the parents of Donald and Nellie? What were the ages of Nellie and Donald at the time they married in 1906? Witnesses names to the marriage? ( :P sorry...lots of questions, but they can all help).

There is a possible Abel entry in 1901:

Allen Abel 34 b. Ellon, Aberdeenshire
Alexander Abel 14 b. Australia
Nellie Abel 13 b. Australia
Alice Abel 10 b. Aberdeen

Address: 94 Western Rd, Woodside Aberdeen

Nellie is often a first name variant of Helen (see www.whatsinaname.net/php/search.php?action=search2&search_name=nellie).

Can't see the reference to Williams so far...may be an error, or there could be a reason we are not seeing so far  :-\
