Hi guys. Im doing my family tree and i cant find any info on my great grandfather John D Atkins.
I have his birthdate and death/burial info and lots of stuff after he married my great grandmother Jane Hall but nothing before! I know his fathers name was down as Hugonis on the marriage cert so im presuming his name was Hugh but cannot find anything else so im hoping you fine people will steer me in the right direction as to where to look!
Hoping you can help as im stuck on a few old relatives!
Heres hoping

Hiya - to give people a bit of help to assist you, can you give us what details you DO have?
When and where was John D Atkins born, when was he married, what other details do you have?
You've given some clues to this, but to avoid everyone having to look up again what you've already found....
Also
Siblings? Occupation?

I wonder what the correct spelling of the surname is? Atkin, Atkins or Aitkin?

The marriage of Hugh and Ellen - Hugh signs Aitk..., witness John Aitken signs as such :)
