Indeed....gratification, especially instant, is always good!

Thank you once more, Christina. In the past, I have purchased credits to try to find Williams birth and death to no avail. I'll have to go back and stretch the date parameters. The "Forename Variant"...

Someone from another board suggested James Crichton and Isabella McFarlane as parents to William (b. 1829). I couldn't find a trace of these two on findmypast or scots people. William's...

thanks so much, martin. i do see him on ancestry, and I shall try the archives. a wealth of information!
