Find Ancestors

Hellawrer Over the past few years since I started doing searches on my own family, a lot of people like yourselves have passed on information to me, which I am truly grateful. As I have only recently paid my few quid to join the site I am more than happy to pass on what I have gathered. so if anyone knows the Parish where their family was hatched, matched or dispatched, just let me know and I will pass on what I have. My own lists are: All of Perth, most of Ayr and am now working on Argyle. But have plenty of snippets from elsewhere awrabest Davie

I woner if one of your snippets might cover Lanarkshire or Edinburgh. My grt grandfather James Dickson McKerrow m Katherine Brown b1871. I found a Katherine Fulton Brown McKerrow in 1881 Edinburgh in a family that had a bakers shop but I cant find a trace of their marriage to ascertain (thats a big word) if it is the same Katerine. Their first child Christina was born 1890 so I assumed their marriage to have been around that time but my mum tells me that their marriage was after conception and possibly after reception!!. James was from Douglas Lanarkshire. Any help would be great. Gloria
