I'm not sure what the code FRMRV79-1 means, but I googled it and it seems to refer to Ulva.

I have researched other Scottish families and there are many records missing from the Scotlands People website, so don't give up!

I won't and thanks to everyone for the help. it may be that a couple of days in Scotland are on the cards see if I can physically search those registers. I'll have to make enquiries. Edinburgh is only a couple of hours from me :) I might also try and trace Alexander his brother on the census records see if anything pops up. Sometimes just a relative visiting or the name of a place can get you going again.

Yes that's her. She was the daughter of another policeman (Neil's Boss :)) She was also Born in Scotland born Kilwinning 1821. her mother was Scottish and her father was English they moved back down here and he joined what I think was the first intake of a formal police force. The police watch committee records are a gold mine of information. Except in Neil's case what I really need to know.
