Free ScotlandsPeople Look Up! COMPLETED

[margaret1]

Thanks Dave for trying, I do appreciate it. I agree, sometimes a fresh set of eyes can uncover things we miss whilst searching.

Having said that, do you have any elusive ancestors I could help you find?

Best wishes,

Margaret

hi daval57

have you tried looking further down your tree now that SP have indexed
birth & deaths up to 2006
i've just spent the last last 3 days going through all my books and have
found lots of info.
by talking to my mum etc. it's amazing how their memories are jogged
just by saying a possible death date for someone
but know what you mean about getting nowhere - been like that for
the last 8 months
thats why i joined RC

Have I! Too true!
It's great ev, but I'm still trying to go back the way. 
The additional stuff on SP has just helped me confirm dates for my uncles / aunts and great uncles / aunts. 
It's also opened up some avenues to reach some living rellies.
However, it has done noubt to help me break my brick walls - my brickwall is getting past James Forrest born circa 1750 - the new records aint much help there!
Dave

ME! FRUSTRATED!

I've still got credits left folk.

PS
Rootschat is the best ever forum for genealogy AND probably the friendliest forum I've ever been on.

Hi Dave
Would you be willing to do a look up for me?
Not sure what time period your records cover - but have never found g/g/g/granny -
Martha Selfridge b circa 1820 supposed to be Glasgow
parents Paul Selfridge & Mary Palmer married 1818 in Edinburgh
Other sibs-
George c 1823
Mary c 1825
Ann c 1827
Any help appreciated
They all arrived in Sydney NSW in 1831 so missed all census records!!
Thanks
Shaz

Shaz, you're next.  I'm away for a coffee first.
No promises on results, other than me having a buzz!

hello Dave,
I`m trying to find out what happened to wee Janet Oxley bn Avondale, 1845.
I have her birth certificate, but have been unable to find her after that.
Would there be anything in Scotlands People on her death between 1845 and 1851.
Thanks for yr offer of help.

Shaz,
Sorry.
Nothing on SP that I can see apart from the marriage on 6 july 1818 - I assume you've got that document?
Don't be disheartened though.
SP is not the be all and end all.

I tried 1553 to 1854 - NO Selfridges!  That was strange! Not one!?

Using Soundex I got the following but no fathers called Paul, or mothers Palmer.

Cheers though - I found a FORREST that might link to one of my lines.  - YeeHa!

I know a lot of us do it all the time Gadget, I just felt like advertising it tonight.  Pleasantly surprised at the lack of response.  Hope you know what I mean by that.

I'm off for another coffee now and then I'll come back to Hinton, unless you want to take over for a wee while?   

I'm going out for a coffee so it may be an hour or so before I come back to the board.
