I have credits on Scotlandspeople and have to use the library computer, where I am limited to 1 hour. The other day I wasted 10 credits and accomplished nothing. Could somebody please tell me how to search for any children of a married couple ?????? I have the names and date of the married couple. Thank you, Margaret margaret provided some very pertinent information for me, so I took that and went back to the library to search Scotlandspeople. I found the birth of DAVID PULLAR 01/01/1888 but when I went to view it I couln't see anything....WHY????? I authorized the 5 credits. Shouldn't it show place of birth and parents on the image? I also tried to view a marriage for himin 1913 Paid the credits but no image......What am I doing wrong????? ANY HELP ,PLEASE......I am SOoooooo frustrated. Margaret

Depends on the time you are looking at. I usually find it is easiest to look for them on census returns first if possible. What are the names and dates. Margaret

If you have the date of marriage and the couple's ages then look on the cencus and hopefully you will find if they have children

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. The nameas are: JOHN PULLAR bn 1860 CAPUTH,PERTH OCC. MATHEMATICAL MASTER Married MARY SCRIMIGEOUR (?) 27 DATE: 27 DEC 1887 This is what I have so far: The 1881 CENSUS,METHVEN, PERTH. JAMES PULLAR Head 63 FARMER.CAPUTH. JANE PULLAR wife 60 CAPUTH,PERTH. CHARLES PULLAR U SON 25 CAPUTH MARGARET ANN DAUR. 21 JOHN PULLAR 20 was a STUDENT of ART 116 MARKET ST. ST ANDREWS,FIFE. I couldn't find him on a later census but found him as a witness to his brother Charles'Death on 3 JAN 1926 in KINNOULL PERTH. JOHN's ADDRESS at this time was 2 HUDSON SQUARE, MONTROSE,PERTH. If you could find him on a later census that may help. I'm afraid I am not too sharp at this, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Margaret

Hi In 1891 they are living at 12 St Peter's Place Montrose with their 2 year old son David. David was born in Hamilton. I'll have a quick look in 1901 and see what I can find. Margaret

Hi In 1901 they are still in Montrose (address is a bit difficult to read. They still only have the one child David. Hope this helps. Margaret

Hello Margaret, That is a great help, and much appreciated. I will go to the library now and use my Scotlandspeople credits to follow up on their son David, and look for Johns Death. Kind regards, Margaret

I wish Scotlands People, would bring out a subscription charge a bit like ancestry, with unlimited access and searches. Scotlands People is a great site, but can be quite expensive and your credits disappear very quickly.

PLEASE NUDGE ^ Thank you
