Scotland / Re: Jane LITHGOW & William JACKSON where to start?
« on: Tuesday 13 April 10 09:39 BST (UK) »
Hi
Thanks I've just looked that up as you suggested
According to their birth certs andrew and david were born on 8th july 1855 in silverbanks cambuslang.
David lithgow (father) was born in lanark and both he and elizabeth were 29 yrs old at the time of the boys births, elizabeth was born in cambuslang
Interestingly it also stated that they were her 5th and 6th children, 1 boy and 2 girls living plus 1 girl deceased
Great suggestion!
Thanks heaps
Tracy

Hi
To elaine447 and ev thank you both so much for replying

Again thanks so much

Scotland / Jane LITHGOW & William JACKSON where to start?

Hi
Can anyone help me?
I have just got the birth certificate for my x2 great grandfather (william jackson)and is shows his parents were from scotland.As no one else so far in my research has been from scotland I have no idea where to begin, can anyone suggest some good scottish websites or offer help in anyway.
( the information on the certificate is below)
His parents were William JACKSON born abt 1859 scotland and Jane LITHGOW born abt 1862 scotland they were married on 15th august 1882 in scotland
under previous issue on the cert it says 1 female living,1 male and 1 female deceased.I understand this to mean his siblings.William and his sister jane were born in lambton new south wales but I didn't know about the others so I'm not sure if they were born in scotland or australia.
Any help is greatly appreicated

Hi
I was wondering if you knew anything about Henry Watson and Charlotte Abbott's Family,they were both born in the early 1800's but I'm not sure where exactly.Their Daughter Selina (born 1851 NZ) married Henry Signal (Born 1839 Trowbridge Wiltshire England).Henry & Selina are my X3 Great Grandparents and from what I have been able to find out so far both the watson and signal families lived in wanganui and marton.Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Lucy2
Yes I'm definately getting the marriage cert when its available,I looked on the website to see if I could order it now anyway as you suggested last time but I couldn't find anything on how to order it
I had wondered if the bdm online was accurate and I realise his mothers name on the death cert is not totally reliable as its from a third party,the lack of concrete proof of his fathers 2 families and not being able to find john ivans name in records has certainly left me wondering
Once again you have been an enormous help
Ps thanks to christine also for checking into things for me
Unfortunately my nana doesn't know where her father grew up or much at all about his family so its been hard to trace his childhood

New Zealand Completed Requests / Identity Puzzle--Completed with thanks
« on: Friday 09 October 09 08:20 BST (UK) »
Hi
I know I've asked for help on this before but I wanted to add a new piece of the puzzle to see if anyone has any suggestions
My great grandfather John Ivan SMITH was born in 1900 but I can't find a record of his birth in new zealand and his marriage is outside the historical timeframe (only just) so I did the only thing I could and ordered a printout for his death
Now this is where it gets interesting according to that he was born in marsden and his parents are listed as william SMITH and lillian SIGNAL,when I searched for a marriage the only one with those two last names is for william john bennett SMITH and annette elizabeth SIGNAL but in the birth search they don't have a son john
I'm not sure what to think
Anyone have any ideas on where I go from there?
Thanks
Tracy
