Hi Jean. Thank you for your reply. Eliza Mitchell is very easy to trace as she and her parents lived in Laurencekirk. I can't find any birth record for William but it says on his marriage and death certs that he was born in Montrose. It all becomes a bit of a puzzle from here on as William is boarding in Laurencekirk in 1871 census, then a daughter Williamina is born October 1871 in Laurencekirk to William and Eliza. Somehow they married in 1875 in Blackfriars Glasgow, their next 3 children are also born in Glasgow, before they appear again 1881 census in Johnshaven where William and Eliza both remained until their deaths. All I am aiming for is to trace further back from William but I am struggling to achieve any success! Again thank you for helping me. With regards, Meredith Moncur
