Hi Jim

All Scottish BMDS of that time are on the Scotland's People site - www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  It's pay to view but the certs are only 6 credits. You register and buy credits in multiples of 30 (1 credit=20p).

The Scottish certs are brilliant as they give full details of parents

Hi again 

Would you like me to check the Drummonds up on the censuses - so far I've oly given you the Burkes. It was quite late on last night when I did it so I just gave you the broad outline 

Also, what sources have you been using to trace them in Scotland so far?  As I said, the Scotlands People site has the best coverage but the free IGI on www.familysearch.org also has good coverage of Scottish statutory BMD records from 1855 to about 1875.

If you click on this link:

It will take you direct to the search page of the IGI . Fill in the necessary info - give a wide margin for dates .


I'm looking at the 1901 - did Alexander and Christina have a John (b.c.1897) and an Alexander (b.c. 1899) and did they live in Dunfermline for a time?

They did have John and Alexander but I think Alexander would probably be 1st born...  wondering if the Greenock wedding meant they were living there, I think thats Dumbartonshire or Lothian though

mmmm at a glance the children ages are a bit awray & The places born to, with the apearance of a mid child Janet....it looks good otherwise --notice dthat garnagunnock is the same birth place as the Alexander we want and the age isn't far away though
