Would there be any kind researcher that would help me with the following query. I am looking for any information on Thomasina McGhie who married William McCaa. William died at sea on the 11th jan 1918 after he had been invalided out of a war zone. Thomasina was recorded as living at 8 Burn St Dalbeattie. Thomasina is also stated as a maid at Garrallan House when she married A census record showing Thomasina and William at Garrallan House would be a fantastic piece of information. All information would be appreciated Regards Alan Ritchie Gore New Zealand

Alan, The McGhie family did not live in Ayrshire, so you might want to direct inquiries to the Dumfries-Galloway list. You should go to http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for birth, marriage and death registrations and the 1911 census. It is the official government site and has great images. It is pay-to-view but very reasonable prices. When you search be sure to use Soundex due to the various spellings of the surname. I can give you this info found on familysearch.org about the marriage of her parents.

Allan the only way to find that information is to search the census or Valuation Rolls on ScotlandsPeople, especially if the information relates to the early 1900s...unfortunately no freely available info is available for this time period it is all tied up with the GROS.
