Hi Sue
I couldn't find anything for the first couple's marriage or children as it is too late for my records. Though it looks like I've found Elizabeth's birth, 3 siblings, her parent's marriage and a possible birth for her father.
ELIZABETH LITTLEJOHN, b 18 Apr 1851, Fyvie, Aberdeen, Father JOHN LITTLEJOHN, Mother ELIZABETH SIEVEWRIGHT
Siblings all born in Fyvie.
JANE, b 10 Mar 1848
MARY, b 20 Oct 1849
JOHN, b 20 Jul 1853
JOHN LITTLEJOHN married ELIZABETH SIEVEWRIGHT, 23 Nov 1844, Fyvie/Inverurie
JOHN LITTLEJOHN, ch 18 May 1817, Fyvie, Father ANDREW LITTLEJOHN, Mother HELEN ANGUS
THOMAS MENNIE married ISABEL ANNAND, 4 Jan 1846, Methlick
All their children were born in Methlick.
ISABELLA MENNIE, ch Jul 1848
JOHN CALLANDER MENNIE, ch Mar 1850
WILLIAM MENNIE, ch Aug 1851
JESSIE MENNIE, ch Nov 1853 (female).
Hope the info I found is of help.

Hi Mike
I managed to find James' marriage to Elizabeth. As for James' birth/christening, the earliest I can find for a James in Fife is 1705. I did manage to find 7 children for James and Elizabeth, which I didn't know if you had or not. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Hi Ronnie
The records that I use are Scottish Church Records issued by Family Search (the Church of the Latter-day Saints). The same people that provide the free online search of the 1881 census. I know that you can buy records from them online but this is an old disc, 1995, so don't know if it's still available.
If you'd like me to do some searches, then please feel free to just ask. I do have some people that keep coming back to me for more searches, which is fine.
Hope that helps and look forward to hearing back from you soon. Dawn |

Hi Dawn.... nice to see you are back in circulation.. It was very kind of you to come back regarding James Dudgeon...and I do have James and Elizabeths family. Do'es the record show which church James and Elizabeth were married I note you say there appears to be no James Dudgeon bn or ch.abt 1679 in Fife. Is it possible he was bn in a neighbouring Scottish County. canny lad Mike |

Hi Dawn and thank you for the offer. Hope you are feeling well :o) When you have a chance could you please have a look for the marriage of: Neil Innes (tailor) to an Agnes Colvin (or might be a Coburn). Likely between 1790-1810 (sorry can't be more specific). Not too sure where in Scotland - maybe the Argyl area - I know their son William was born there in Campbeltown in 1810. Thank you! Lisa |

Hi Dawn Could you possibly look up the following: Robert FORSYTH bc 1816 Erskine, Renfrewshire Ann BENNIE bc 1817 Glasgow I have searched all through Scotlandspeople. They are on 1851 census and I have the marriage, but can't find the births. Thank you very much. Davina |

Hi Dawn, thanks for this: I think I have the marriage between Mary Baird Simpson and John L Thomson 31/12/1927. He was a bachelor aged 21 Motor Lorryman of Station Road, Bigger, Lanark and she was Domestic general servant aged 20 also of Bigger. I couldnt read the info too well, but I think it gave parents names as Robert Starke Thomson Lorryman and Eileen? Steele ?? and hers as John and Mary (nee Baird )Simpson.. with some other names mentioned too, but being unfamiliar with Scottish records, I wasnt really sure what I was looking at!!. If you could clarify any of this for me I would be very grateful, and it may help me to 'get into' his family. Thanks Ronnie OOPS sorry just realised the date is too late for your records, I will have to look at ScotlandPeople a bit closer. Take care... Ronnie |

Hi Dawn I am currently researching my wife's Scottish ancestry. Not done to badly with her mother's side but her father's side has drawn a blank. The details that we are aware of as follows. Robert Houston KERR born Feb 10, 1916 Burnfoot (Burnside)near New Cumnock, Ayrshire. Wife Helen McEwan born Mar 6, 1920 also in Burnfoot. Married 1937. We have the best part of Helen's next generation but can't find anything for Robert, so any info on him would be greatly appreciated. I find it hard to research Scottish rellies, they are all given perfectly good forenames but in life they get called something totally different. I have come across so many Jessies only to find there actual names are totally different. Ah well, I'm only a sassenach. Regards Norm |

Hello Dawn, Thank you for your last lookup and I now must confess that I got the wrong christian name for that one. I know I'm a pest but would you mind looking again with right name. A marriage for WILLIAM MACKIE & 'ELIZABETH' CRAWFORD about 1820 at Dalry, Ayrshire. Also children of that marriage please. Many thanks...Heather |

Hi Dawn , Nice to see you back ,Hope you are o k . I see you have a lot of catching up to do so when you have time could you please see if you can find any details of birth for Margaret Jeffery/jaffery her parents were John jeffery and Margaret Robertson . Margaret died 1859 and her age is stated as 32 but that could be wrong. Her parents were married in Linlithgow ,West Lothian but she was married in Old Monkland so not clear on where she was born .

I managed to find David's christening and his parent's marriage. I also looked for any other children, but none listed.
DAVID MILNE, ch 27 Jul 1834, Mains & Strathmartine, Angus, Father JAMES MILNE, Mother ELIZABETH YOULLY
JAMES MILNE married ELIZABETH YOULIE, 15 Jun 1833, Dundee, Angus
I couldn't find any trace of Anne's birth or christening but did find her parent's marriage. Again I had a look for siblings but came up with none.

Hope that you find the info helpful.

Hi Allen
The only child that I could find was Margaret Robertson Hume. Though I did find this christening that could be a possible for James. Sorry I couldn't help more.
