Anyone have Ancestry?

I already have, Shona, bit I might have to wait a few days tho, and as it seems cousin also now has credits, I'll have to wait and see what she finds out. She's in West Australia, and I'm in Victoria lol

Thanks for the advice you've given me, and Merry also.

1902 MITCHELL Alexander CRUM Jane Henderson Kinning park Glasgow Cotu/Lanark 644/`4 0346

How odd - is that from SP? I only found one entry for JHC but that was 1900. Your date seems better, but why didn't my search find two? (I know I searched up to 1905.)

I agree Merry, I looked it up too, up till about 1906, and nothing came up for me either - so this cousin was dead lucky!

She is asking me which census of the 3 she should order, they are all identical except for the numbers (Gros Data) - I wouldnt have a clue.

1881 Census
MITCHELL ALEXANDER M 33 Cathcart (Lanark) Glasgow City/Lanark 560/00 001/00022 & 004/00 040 & 008/009

lol I know what I did - the marriage match is there for me now in 1902, but I realised the search screen looked different. I now see I was searching in births not marriages before and there is a birth for a Jane Henderson Crum in 1900!

isn't he a bit old? Or do you have more information from the marriage cert now?

Hi Merry - Have just woken up - its Friday here. Last msg I got from cousin last night (they are 2 hours behind us) is that she was going to apply for the marriage cert. Not sure if that happens straight away, or what. I should have an answer later today.

She is also waiting for papers from other family members, so I'll just have to be patient!

[Shona]

If she has credits for Scotland's People, she can view and print off the marriage record immediately.

That's good then, I should receive it in a couple of hours from cousin in WA.

SP will reinstate my 13 credits when I buy more. Only trouble is I only have one relative myself (Laughlan) in Scotland and have exhausted all avenues! I will get this Mitchell family sorted out first.

Still nothing re marriage certificate - but hoping to receive it today some time.

I believe a Heather Bone has a tree on Ancestry - is anyone able to look up the Mitchells on her tree please?

[Merry]

I don't know how to find a tree via the owners name, sorry.

I looked for people who have William Merr* Mitchell or Jane Henderson Crum* on their trees, but though the first name did appear, no one knew his parents and those trees were owned by other people. We don't yet know enough about Alexander Mitchell to be able to search for him, do we?
