Find Ancestors

Hi Cynthia,

Thank you very much. will do :)

Hello Lisa,

You have added on to an old thread so I will suggest a couple of things to you to help you along.

You can try putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above (in the dark green bar) to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

You could also try posting your message on the Find Living relatives board.

Hope this helps. Cynthia.

Have rechecked the census and whilst the transcription says Ireland the actual census says Scotland. I have found William's birth. The parents were not married at the time and it is very difficult to make out the mother's name. It is likely that Mary was registered with the mother's maiden name. If I work it out I will get back to you.

Hi just starting to look back again at My Mary Cogill born around c1888? its driving me insane hours and hours going over the same things. Ive bought credits at scotlands people as she was born there to william and Jane Coggill william was born in england but Jane in scotland and find her being born at all. Anyone got any suggestions?

There is also the possibility the names were spelt Coghill or Cowgill. Those names come up in searches. There are quite a few possibilities in the Yorkshire area on the census but none of them fit the William, Jane, Mary criteria.

Not doing any good with Scotland. Tried England and found this marriage. Fits your information. My best advice would be to contact Derek on his Derbyshire thread. I think he does Yorkshire lookups as well.

Here is his thread

Hi Tracy, just received your PM. For some strange reason I am no longer getting the white envelope notification of a message on my screen.

Not your fault. GR glitch I think.

I will have a look at your search this evening. Do you wish me to put the results on this thread. That way others will be able to help you as well. And you will have all your info in the same place.

Tracy, Are you able to put your grandmother's information on your thread. If not if you click on my name and send me a message I can look for you. However if you will be searching for a lot of your information in Scotland it might be beneficial for you to buy some credits with the Scotlands People site.

Hi Tracy,


This is the site you will need to look at for the scottish records. And yes you will have to pay.
