They had a son called Joseph who died 14 October 1875 aged 6 days at Torphichen Linlithgow

Father is James McGrannathan (coal miner) and Jane Brooks

The 'B' is dis-jointed making it look like a G

Hello sancti. I'm trying to find a name Edward McGrannathan linked to his Father James McGrannathan. but I can't find any relation. James might not be his father? or many he had a child with another woman, not "Jane Brooks".   you never now what are ancestors did  

[tidybooks]

Hi Dusto,

Did you manage to get Edward's birth certificate, from the Scotland Peoples website, it will answer your questions.

[dusto]

Thank you again Tom.. that was answer I was looking for. A name with a birthday that match... Im going to look at the site you suggested... I didn't really want to spend anymore money on an other web site that never went anywhere. but I will now

[dusto]
