I have been trying to find information regarding my relatives who were in the Royal Artillery. I believe they were of Scottish decent. This is what I already know
John Love a gunner in the Royal Artillery,  born about 1800 and died in Gibraltar in 1828 of "sickness". He married an Elizabeth Nicholls (born Glasgow, Renfrewshire in 1803) in 1820 in Plumstead, Greenwich (her father was a gunner in the Royal Artillery & on Elizabeth's death certificate it had her father listed as just Nicol ). They had a son William John Love Born 1823 North Hyde Heston Middlesex. (he also joined the Royal Artillery in 1839 and died in 1860).
I would like to know where or how I could find out more about Birth dates & parents and where they came from in particular Elizabeth Nicholls & John Love. At a stumbling block. Thank You

I have being trying very unsuccessfully to find information regarding my Great Grandmother Margaret Murray. I know that she married James Papple 1813- 1883 in Glasgow in 1843. He was a tailor and that they lived in Glasgow. James came from Kirkcudbrightshire and I think both of his wives also came from there. This was James second marriage (his 1st wife was also called Margaret (Mc Taggart) unfortunately this has caused a problem in that from most of the ancestry sites people just assume they are the same person. I have found certificates for both of James's marriages but both have little detail so I can't find the birth or death of Margaret McTaggart nor can I find the birth of Margaret Murray but I do have her death certificate unfortunately this was not filled out correctly so I could find her parents names. The other issue is information from the census indicates that Margaret Murray was born in 3 different places Newton Stewart, Wigton and New Monkland. I know some of those places are near but I couldn't understand whether they were parishes of counties so then couldn't try to find birth comparisons. The only other bit of information I have is that Margaret Murray had a sister Agnes Murray that died in Glasgow in 1867 this was from a newspaper article. ( again couldn't find her birth or death). So all I have about Margaret Murray is she died in Saltcoats Ayr 1880 and was possibly born in about 1816 and married in 1843. Her and James had a son born in 1848 ( no documentation at all) Any suggestions please

Thanks Sandra will check newspapers.

Use Scotlands People it is a free site to research but if you want a particular document you need to pay for it . I have found it very useful as they had some detailed documents that include parents names occupations and even their birth places which made it very useful to confirm information and not just guess between 2 John Smith's.
