yes tried Scotlands People but the information does not go early enough to trace what happened to jane's parents ,death records only available after 1855. I may have a possible for jane's parents but Still cannot find any record of the childrens births in Airdrie . Or any marriage- in Potteries where William Comes from -In durham where the first child was born or in Scotland . Grrrrrr Frustraton !!!!!

Mygreat  grandmother was jane  Blyth . She was born in Edinburgh around 1831. She married William Donkin sometime around 1848/9 when her first son was born inDurham( this could be because William was a miner ?) Then they must have moved back to Airdrie near to Glasgow ( my mother always said her grandmother was from glasgow) where her next three children were born . her next six children were born in the potteries where William was from . cannot find any records for any of the children born in scotland, janes birth record or census info except that she may have been in service. no record of a marriage between her and William although on census they are shown as married- was it a marriage agreement or common law? lots of unanswered questions does anyone have any answers or ideas where I can look.I  am a member of ancestry
