Hello Hellen71,

Welcome to Rootschat!

Can you tell us a wee bit more about your families and what exactly you're looking for.

Full names, ages, locations etc - whatever you have - that gives us more of an idea where to begin.

Hi Hellen

It looks tho Jeanie died in Glasgow 1960

1960 DAVIS JEAN MACKIE GREIG  aged  81 POLLOK GLASGOW/LANARK  ref no 644/11 0780


Unfortunately Scotland's People privacy rule means you can't see this on line. I'd say is worth ordering this death cert to see if she was a widow or not in 1960.

If she was you know then for sure Frederick died either before or after 1960 and that will help you narrow options down.

But a possibility

Post by: regal1 on Tuesday 24 February 09 23:47 GMT (UK)
The person who has a Ann Sinclair ( who married a Andrew Linn in 1850 ) must be a relative as those people are my grandparents.

Why don't you check and enter your surnames in the Surnames Interests Table?  A quick check shows there are probably a number of other people looking for your names.

The link is via "Your Surname Interests" found at the bottom of every page.

NOW MOVED to the surnames button at the top of the page.

I've just registered on the site, having found the above message through Google.  Catherine Veronica Davis was my mother and Frederick Davis was my half-sister's father.  Can anyone tell me how I might get in touch with Hellen, please?  I can't see an option to PM her.

All help gratefully received.  :)  Thanks.

Thanks for that; if I'd been more awake last night I'd probably have realised.  One more post to go then... ;)

From Hellen's post above:

"why on my grandfathers marriage cert in 1942 is he already deceased"

My guess is Frederick and Jeanie were divorced at the time of Edward's marriage.  If Frederick hadn't remained in contact with Edward, it's quite possible Edward assumed his father was dead, when in he was living at the other end of the country.
