William Porteous Agnes Graham

[Ceeoh]

Can anyone help please.
Looking for a marriage,
William Porteous born c1803, died 1865, ( son of John Porteous and Mary Winstanley) to
Agnes Graham born c1798, died 1873
Both interred Tundergarth Churchyard.

 Known children David 1837 - 1840.  Mary 1836 - 1884, Agnes (Telfer) 1833 - 1905

Lockerbie, Mid Banks, Linn Mill area.

Trying to find Agnes's family.

Ceeoh -- if you spend only 6 units on Scotlands People you will be able to view her actual death certificate in the Civil Registers. (You would need to buy more to start with - but the ability to view actual certificates, which give SO much information in Scotland, is worth it).

This should give the name of her father and mother.

On that site you should be able to find the marriage of William and Agnes in Parish Registers - (Civil Registration didn't start until 1855 in Scotland.)

I really wish we had the Scottish system here.  The info on both marriage & death certs is far more comprehensive & a fraction of what we pay in England. 

[Pennines]

Oh Carole, I SO agree with you -- you only need to find a death and it takes you back a generation.

Marriage certs give you the mother's maiden name.

Then on births - you are given, not only the parents names, but the date and location of their marriage!

I love the Scottish system.

Thank you for replies.

I have in the past used scotlandspeople, and find their records excellent, usually answering all the questions asked.

Unfortunately I found it very expensive from South Africa.  £1.50 for six credits for one query is very reasonable in GBP,  but  when it becomes +-R30 in ZAR not so reasonable. Sadly the rate of exchange is prohibitive.

For all your replies and input, my grateful thanks, query answered and appreciated.

Thank you,Ceeoh
