East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Stow, East Lothian - Any one help?

Go on to Scotlandspeople and you'll get a death certificate for Andrew as the death is post 1855. 
From the cert. you'll be able to get details of his spouse, parents and the informant  - maybe it was his child.

Is Peter Skirving who married Margaret Hay on 6/6/1790 in Garvald anything to do with your tree?

They went on to have 4 children -
Andrew 25/7/1791
William 1/12/1793
twins Margaret and Peter 30/1/1880

Dumfriesshire / Armstrong
« on: Friday 24 March 06 22:05 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone recognise John Armstrong.

He married Isabel Little around 1820 -  I suspect in the Canonbie area. They had 6 children - Thomas, Robert, Isabella, John, Hugh and Julia.

According to the IGI John and Isabella were both born in 1796 but I'm no sure and can't trace them back any further.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unable to help with your main query but am intrigued in your list of main interests.

I am researching Stewarts.
James Stewart married Margaret McNaughton 3/1/1845 in Edinburgh. They had 3 children - James (15/3/1846), Jane (19/6/1847) and John (20/5/1849).

Do any of these names ring any bells?

Warreng

Thanks for getting in touch.
From what I've discovered Common is an unusual name. I did find a pocket of them in the Scottish Borders. It seems as if William and Jane left Edinburgh after their marriage as I can find no record of children nor details in subsequent census records.
George Common may well have been an uncle of my William Common - the Canongate is a stones through from where Jane Stewart lived at that time.
If I can make the connection I'll let you know.

I would suggest that you get on to ScotlandsPeople. It's a fee paying site but it's very reasonable. You'll be able to get relevant birth, marriage and death certificates for your ancestors.

Hello Spark

I'd never heard of the surname Common until today.

My ancestor Jane Stewart married William Common on 28/11/1873 in Edinburgh.

Sorry can't help you with tracing your USA ancestors.
