After much time and searching I am finally getting my tree sorted. I am now looking for the names and birth dates of the children of John CRAIG and Janet WILSON.
I believe they had 6 children between the years of 1 Jan 1791 and 31 Dec 1808. They were married in 1791
The names I have are:
Isabel (Isabella) CRAIG b. 08 May 1806 Christened 22 May 1806 and
Eliazabeth CRAIG b. 3 May 1808 and Christened 26 May 1808

Can anyone help me find the other four.:)
Many thanks.

Thanks for that Gritty :-)

Yes I had been looking on Scotlandspeople but after spending over NZ $40 I had to call a halt for the time being. It was getting addictive!!!

If anyone has a spare 1 credit though to get the birth dates I would appreciate it.

In the meantime happy researching. :)

(I was looking for the wrong names before - think it's time I had some lunch!)

If you buy credits on ScotlandsPeople you can view/print the image of the original document. It probably won't show parents' names, but you might be lucky)

Yes Chris it does ......sort of. Sorry I had forgotten about this thread.
However after doing more research on Scotlandspeople I have found that my relative who started this line went up the wrong tree!!' Now to get this straight I found that our Isabel Craigs parents were actually John Craig and Janet Wilson., not James and Margaret, however it looks like John and James were brothers. Found all this on Scotland's people. A great site for research but it gets a bit expensive when on a budget!!
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :)
