Hi,
I am new to family research and was wondering if anyone can help me. I am looking for my husband's great grandfather. His name is John Smith (Hairdresser) aged 26 when he married Flora Anderson on 23/06/1915 iat 13 Barr Street, Ardrossan. He gives his father as John Smith (General Labourer) and his mother as Mary (Fergusson). At the time John Smith Junior was living at 25 Winton Street, Ardrossan. It's John Smith Senior that I would like to find out about. Thank you.

Hi
I am looking for any Smiths from Stevenston. My g grandfather James Smith left Stevenston sometime after 1901 (he is listed in the 1901 census aged 6) His mother died the next year and the next record we have of him is joining the Australian army in 1917. His parents were James Smith and RoseAnn Murphy, he had two sisters RoseAnn and Julia (who died aged 7) and two brothers Michael and Patrick (never married).

Dear Sir

I am at my wits end trying to trace a death of my g g grandmother Janet Cameron who married Alexander Gibson in 1830 Kilmarnock...She died sometime between 1844-1850 as she had a son born Kilmarnock 1844 and her husband Alexander Gibson remarried a Jane Patterson in Kilmarnock 1850..

The strange thing about this is there was a son James Gibson born 1846 but records state this was Alexander and Jane Patersons son???

Would appreciate any comments..
