Hi

If you know Roderick's date and place of death, you can go to Scotland's people www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and enter the details and be able to view the death cert which will give his parents' names. The same with Janet. It is a pay to view site but very reasonable.

It will cost 6 units or £1.20.

Hi Dru  :)

I'm sure spec will be in touch but in the meantime, could you tell us what you'd like help with - some names and dates and places of how far back you've got would be a good starting point.

Regards

   Hi Spec,
       Thank you so much for all the info. Your brother-in law's great-grandfather was my husband's great-grandmother's brother. She was Isabella.
        Alfred Courage and Isabella Mcrae had 5 daughters, They were : Fredetta ( Etta ) Courage-- Bella Jane Courage...Alice Courage--Jessie Courage...And Mary Ann Courage.------Mary Ann married married Alexander Irvin Drummond, They had a son, Alexander Mcrae Drummond and I think when they immigrated to Canada, they had a daughter, Mary Etta Drummond.
         Grandfather Drummond went to university in Aberdeen and became a Lawyer. We're trying hard to get info on the Drummond's place of birth.
          Thank you to Gadget also....Dru
