Berturelli/McCreadie - census info help please

[Casafina]

Hi All,

I am new to this game and am trying to research my husbands family.  Any help would be appreciated

My husbands grandfather's name is Giovanni Lorenzo Berturelli who was born 27th January 1893 in Dunfermline.  His wife's name was Fanny McCreadie and came from around the same area - we think Dalrymple.  Both married 7th Feb 1923.

I would like to build a family history and would love to hear from anyone who can help me get started.

Many thanks,

Casafina

Hi Casafina

Welcome to Rootschat 

To help you start, it would be worth your while reading this thread:

I think if I were you, I'd start with getting their marriage certificate which you can search for and download from Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (pay to view)  It should cost no more than 6 units (£1.20) as you know the date and names. This will give you the names of their respective parents.

After that it would be worth looking for them or their ancestors on the 1841-1901 censuses, collecting BMD certs on the way.

Good Luck

Hi Gadget,

I have tried searching for the birth, marriage and death info on Scotlandspeople and cannot find anyone with their names.  I was hoping that some kind person may be able to come up with some info from the 1901 Census.

Was their marriage in Scotland? if so it should be there as you have the date. Did you use wild cards?

It would be easier to find them on the census once you have their parents' names. Also, the 1901 census is available on Scotlands People and via an Ancestry index, among others.

As you seem to be well into searching the records, it is far more exciting for you  to find them, if you can, rather than other people.
