Donna,
if you want to give me your dad's name and date of birth I will take a look on Scotland 's People to see if he was born in Scotland, although I don't have enough credits left to view the image,
jean

that is were i found him on the rolls for 1973/74 i have been looking for him for 16 years found out on tuesday i was spelling his last name wrong i am going to see if i can find whirley if any one can point me in the right direction, Thank you everybody for your help

The Mitchell Library holds all the electoral rolls for Glasgow back till c1912. However, you can only search by address ... not name.


Scotlandspeople: is the site to search for births, marriages and deaths.

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Lisa, I think its possible that he may be born England... there is one that shows up on births whch might fit, have sent Donna some details so hope if Donna contacts Whirley there might be a clue to go on.

Donna ,youll only find his birth details at the Mitchell Lib and possibly marriage details ,,,,,they dont hold electoral rolls.

Sorry Donna , just realised from your TTF post that looking at Ancestry for a birth won't help you if he was actually born in Glasgow.

Ask when you get to the library perhaps about 'Scotlands people' ? I am not well up on Scottish records but there should be someone there who can advise.

sorry Donna ...if you hover your mouse over my name and then left click a message box will appear for you to write in and send ...but I will send you one that you can reply to . If you look at the top of this page in the menu running across it , you will see 'messages' an envelope will show there when there is a message for you, click to open

i am sorry for being a dunce i just joined last night dont knoe what PM means

Donna , Ancestry might help if you are certain of area and if he has a name that is unusual. You obviously have an idea of area, and I assume age. If you want to PM me I have Ancestry so can look to save you time tomorrow.

i am going to look at the rolls again can i cheak for ancestry there i was there the other day they just told me to cheak the rolls said nithing about ancestry or is it because i dont know his dob.

Donna, is it that you are hoping to use 'Ancestry' to get the details of his birth? or that you are going to look at electoral rolls?

Hi i am going to the library tommorow to try and find my father has anybody got any ideas as to where i should start thank you
