Find Ancestors

Hi

Please forgive me if this is classed as a repost - I originally put something on the tips board.

I'm trying to find out if my GF had any other siblings - he was Scottish and i've managed to go back 4 generations via finding records and looking at census records but I'm really struggling to find anything more recent.

Maxwell (fna Mackie) Dowling born 28 Aug 1927 in Newmachar. His parents David Anderson and Edith Hector were married in Dyce on 28th Nov 1911. David was born Nov 1888 in Newmachar and Edith 30/04/1892 in Dyce

I've emailed both Dyce and New Machar parish Churches to see if they can help but just wondered if I was missing a trick.

People have helped me trace possible relatives on my GM side so just wondered if that was because she was English and they hold different records?

As i say apologies if i'm repeating myself but thought it worth a shot if people found GM information

If anyone could please assist me that would be great

Thanks in advance
Carly

Are you looking for siblings of Maxwell Dowling Anderson please? Just checking if I am reading your request properly.

If you are then searching for siblings born after 1911, especially with the surname Anderson could prove quite expensive. Scottish births after 1909 are only available by ordering actual certificates. They cannot be view online using Scotlandspeople. The only way to check if Anderson births in the correct area are Maxwell's siblings is by buying the certificates and checking if the parents match.

If you are lucky enough to be able to visit the Scotlandspeople Centre (New Register House) in Edinburgh then the daily fee to search Including these more recent records is £10. You can look at as many register entries as time permits. You cannot take prinouts of births prior to 1909, marriages 1934 and deaths 1959 but you many look at the entries and make notes.

EDIT

The most recent Scottish census available is the 1901, the 1911 will not be released until 2011.

Scotlandspeople
For info you can now download onto a memorystick at Register House

Ellen, is there a charge for that please? Is the same cost as taking a printout? I have been through recently but tend to get the prinouts to have a paper trail in front of me as I find it easier to follow the line.

Not sure,As i have not visited Register House since this became available.Will have to Google there web site.

Thanks for that Ellen - just wondered as I may be going on Friday but I think I may just stick to my prinouts where possible and my blank templates and pencil for all the more recent stuff.
thanks again Ellen.

Hi

Sorry made a typo error - it's Maxwell Anderson who was born on 28th Aug 1927. I'm looking to see if he had any siblings

Thanks you for all the other information Ellen - I had the Hectors down but not to the extent you've gone too.

If anyone can please help with siblings of Maxwell Anderson i'd really appreciate

Thank you rootgatherer - maybe I need to put a trip up to Edinburgh then - good excuse for a weekend away
