Title: 1923 Marriage - Spencer McNeil & Janet Scott- Southampton
Post by: Ferrington on Monday 30 November 20 05:43 GMT (UK)
Hello,

Is anyone able to do a look up for me for a wedding in Jan-Mar 1923 in Southampton?   

The groom was Spencer / Stewart McNeil, and the bride was Janet Scott. 

I am particularly looking for Janet Scott's parent's names if recorded.

Thank you for any assistance.

Fiona

If you buy some credits for Scotlands People, you can look up the birth registration of Janet in 1901 to obtain the names of her parents. It should also tell you when & where they were married.

From the 1901 census in Hamilton, a Janet, age 0. I think her parents may be John, age 31 & Elizabeth, age 30.

There is marriage in 1893 of a John Scott to an Elizabeth Shank Gemmell in Hamilton.

Cannot be sure & depends if Janet was born before or after the census.

A free seach in the 1939 Register confirms she was born pre the 1901 census

Just a reminder that the Southampton registration district covers many parishes within the Southampton area, so it is actually quite difficult to look this up without knowing the parish.
