Depending which child of John and Jane you are connected to I would start with buying their birth cert. Do you have John & Janes death certs? There doesn't seem to be much paper info apart from the...

Possibly them arriving in Melbourne ...Embarked: Liverpool Nov 1858, Ship: Champion of The Seas, John W McKechnie 38yrs (Scotch) Occ: Painter, Jane 30yrs (Scotch), John 4yrs & James 2yrs (doesn't say...

Hi Doreen...Try Freecen and Freereg. The 1841 census I mentioned is on Freecen.

Where does the info for Janes birth being in Rattray come from? There is an 1841 census entry for a Jane Gellatly in Northumberland age 15yrs. Father George age 40 born Scotland, Mother Mary age 40 b...

Mary Jane was born 1852 (died 1854) in New Orleans. John Weir was born 1854 in New Orleans. Then James Parker was born in 1856 in Scotland. Margaret born 1865 in Victoria Australia. Wondered if Jane...

I've looked at Scotlands People and nothing on there that I can see. Will have a look on Trove later to see if any mention of them on there. Have you seen the entries on Find A Grave?

Lots of info on Familysearch for John Weir Mckechnie. Just type the name in and nothing else.

Meant Familysearch not FMP....sorry.

There's a John Garnett b1828 on Familysearch. Father James Garnett 1780-1849 m Agnes Cummings 1816 in Kendal. Could be worth a look.

On FMP there is a John Garnett b1828 Father James Garnett 1780 - 1849 married Agnes Cummings 1816 in Kendal. Could be worth a look.

More than possible that Rodger and Esther never married. In second marriage to Joan May does it say 'Widowed' or 'Bachelor'?

I've also tried to follow the people on the census'. The names vary so much it's pretty much impossible. I'm not sure if they were Jewish. Judging by the amount of people from Poland working in...

I've looked at both the 1901 & 1911 census'. Neither have been any help finding a birth record for John, or death record for his father August. But wow...how interesting the census records are, and...

Thank you Jomot1. They seem the likeliest links so far.

Hi All.. I have been looking for info for John Burum for years (surname is elusive). Today up popped his Attestation record. He was born 14 March 1901, according to the papers, in St Helens,...

Did you get the birth cert recommended on 10/09/2022 ? Seems the most likely to be your man.

My Grandfather died from TB according to his death cert. However my Nana always said he'd been 'gassed' in WW1 (presumably Mustard gas). I've always wondered if it was that that killed him and not...

Bah humbug...Looked for half a dozen certs and none available as a digital image.

National Archives may be worth a look Patrick. Quite a few records for men named 'William Alford'. Can be a bit tricky to navigate your way round the site. If you register (which is free) you can...

The records are on findmypast.co.uk or on familysearch.org If you go to findmypast make sure to type Manchester in the location box. If you go to family search you just type in Emma Alford...

Both the baptisms are on Find My Past. Along with the baptism of Elizabeth Margaret Bradbury (1875). All baptised at Christ Church, Bradford.
I'm not trying to be awkward or'stir the pot'. I'm just...

Baptism for Emma Alford Bradbury

1888 August 1/ Christ Church, Bradford/ Emma Alford Bradbury/ Parents: ALFRED & Jane Louisa/ 9 Hewitt St/ Occ: Traveller.

Emma died 1888 Dec 1/4

The baptism I have (from FMP)

1889 Oct 23/ Parish of Bradford/ Annie Phillips Bradbury/ Parent: Jane Louisa Bradbury (single woman) / 9 Hewitt St / Occ. Seamstress

It is highly possible that...

Has Annies birth cert been posted on here? William Alford is not named at her baptism.

Can I ask why you are so keen to track William Alford? I see you have the Alford surname but if he wasn't Annies father he is not related to you.
