Thanks Graham.
 I believe that I have to have 3 entries before I can use the PM system but I will be more than happy to give you my email address.
Unfortunately even B. D and Marriage certificates over in Australia can provide the wrong details also. Informants might only have privy to vague details given  by a member of the family who may have been separated from the dead person  over a period of time for example. James death certificate definitely had the name David, son of James. But you may also have the right information too.
 
In my previous entry I told of some Weirs moving on to Canada  I also have to include Australia as well. At the moment I am checking out a Robert Weir who married a Jane Inch I believe they may have married in Scotland before emigrating to Australia.  So I will get back to you on that one as soon as I have had a search done.

 I am also searching for a Jane Campbell Weir who married a John Mitchell Purvis somewhere either in Scotland or Ireland. I am hoping someone can assist me there. I don't have any birth death or marriage details at all.
I am also looking for a William Weir who married a Charlotte Ross. Hope someone may know William's  parentage.
Cheers, Pam

Hi Pam,

I can only find the marriage cert for William Weir and Charlotte Ross. William was a shoemaker and they were married in Dalkeith on 8th Aug 1851 but no reference at that time to parentage.

John Mitchell Purvis (39) Farm Servant married Jane Campbell Weir (19) Domestic Servant on 14th March 1908 at Gateside Linlithgow. John's father was James Purvis and mother Jane Purvis MS Mitchell. Jane's father was Samuel Weir (Town Officer) and mother Janet Weir MS Fleming. The parties appeared to have failed to register the marriage within the prescribed period and the entry was completed under warrant of the Sheriff on 13th Oct 1910 - Blythswood District Glasgow.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Graham
Weir, McCormick, Ferguson, Menzies, Cheyne, Graham, Fyfe, Cuthbert
