Katherine sorry there are two William Ritchies but they do not have the right birth place. Anne

Hi Anne Thank you very much for looking for my elusive Griffins, I can only think that they have been grossly mistranscribed!! Back to the drawing board! Thanks anyway. Ann (Dorothy)

Hi again Anne, Thank you for all the information on the Ritchie family. Kind Regards Katherine

nudging it up

Hi Anne, Many thanks for the kind offer. I am trying to find some information about a George Parfrey who I have found on 1891 census living in Lancashire. He was aged 17 then and a servant - all it says for place of birth is Scotland. Sorry I can't be more specific but it might just be Lanarkshire - will be grateful for anything you can find. Many thanks, Jackie

Jackie on the national index i am getting two George Parfreys both born 1878, one in London and the other in Glos.

Hi again Anne, Can I ask for your help once again please? I am trying to find WILLIAM TAYLOR RITCHIE BORN 12/8/1860 AND HIS SISTER CHRISTINA RITCHIE BORN 28/12/1862 BOTH IN MARKINCH - FIFE. I think Christina married a John Cunningham from Stirling but not until around 1888, but she might have been working in Stirling. William remains a mystery. Many thanks for any help you can give me Katherine

Hi Anne, Many thanks for looking for me - I have heard that they were in Scotland but not sure where - back to the drawing board! Best wishes, Jackie

Hi Anne, Yes, This is Christina. Thank you very much once again Katherine

Hello Anne, loads of people have tried to find this chap for me but he won't be found. Charles Bateman born Deptford Kent (Now London) around 1866-1868. I have him in 71 91 01 and marriage cert. He is 3 years old on 71 census. I would also like to find his mother Frances Bateman (nee Perkins) also born Deptford around 1841. She was widowed in 1870. Last seen on 71 census. Any help is much appreciated, Selena

Selena sorry for taking so long to get back to you - what areas was he living in 1871 and 1891? i am having problems finding him. Anne

It's information I am after and you may be able to point me in the right direction. I am starting on my fathers side of my tree. My fathers name is Matthew Dunlop Keir (7/Feb/1919). He was born in Killen in Stirling. His mothers maiden name may have been Dunlop but not sure. I have been advised to join Scots people and this will help me get started. I was going to send for his birth cert which will give his parents names and then join scotspeple or is there a cheaper and easier way of doing it. I know nothing of his parent (names, DOB, where born etc) I know he had several brothers and possible a sister (older or younger I do not know). Any tips would be appreciated. Many thanks

Hi Anne Appreciate your offer. Could you look up William Gilmour in the 1881 census for Scotland. He was born 1860 Carmunnock, Lanark, parents names are David and Janet. Thanks Carol

Janet I think your best bet would be to order your dad's birth certificate. Scotlandspeople only has births 1855-1904. Anne

Anne, thats great. Thankyou very much for your help Carol

Anne, thanks for that wasn't sure. Will order cert tonite.

Hi I have trawled the England and Wales census for the following with no joy so must conclude (given the surname) that she came from Scotland. I'm looking for a Jennie Young born c 1874 Her father is Donald Young a farm labourer That's all I have I'm afraid so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you David
