Post by: harris122 on Sunday 19 February 17 13:39 GMT (UK)
I'm trying to research dob and Death of James Anderson ( and further back) who marries  3 Aug 1906  Margaret McMillan in Lissara Presbyterian Church, Downpatrick District. Fathers' name was James Anderson.  I am also interested in Margret too x

Why do you keep starting new topics rather than reading then adding to existing ones you've started?

If the 1911 census link I posted is correct you've an idea of when he was born and can then search for birth registration, etc.

Information, including the 1906 marriage, posted on another earlier topic-

I've been away for awhile and trying to re discover the site again. I've not found his dob hence why I posted again. Now that you have given me a public slap on the wrist may I suggest the next time someone does that you pm them and or contact admin.

I posted the links to previous topics so that others who might try to help would know what's already been found- no point in searching for the same information again.

Now that you have an approx. date of birth, an area and father's first name you can search for possible birth registrations and then try to find siblings, etc.
