Parents James Cranston and Mary Ann Smith who married in Oldhamstocks 1865. James I think was an overseer at Holstane. I cant seem to be able to find any marrage or Death records. Any help on where to look for this information would be great. David Cranston Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
