Hello Folks, I am a relative newbie to the Family Tree business, have been reading the posts for a while. Am trying to find more information on my father's side of the family - what I have to date is: 1. Arthur ELTON married Mary MARSHALL 14th Dec, 1838 Cumbernauld, Dunbarton.(No dates of birth or death on Arthur) 2. Mary MARSHALL born about 1817 Cumbernauld, Dunbarton (from IGI) 3. Son Arthur ELTON (I refer to him as Arthur 2) born 18th Sept, 1849, Cumbernauld, Dunbarton married 4. Margaret Ellen MILLER in 1876 in Victoria, Australia. Arthur 2 obviously emigrated but have no idea yet when or on which ship. I have details on the family in Australia (so if anyone over there is researching the same family - just holler and I'll send the info over). I gleaned the start off info from my Dad's (John Robert ELTON) sister and she seemed to think the family came from Coatbridge. Mum & Dad visited a umpteen removed cousin in Rutherglen back in 1954 - she had a lot of the family tree but Mum can't remember where she put the information she brought back to Aus... Would love to hear from anyone searching the same family or any rellies over there. Regards, Vicki Simpson from 'Beautiful One Day Perfect the Next' Gold Coast, Queensland. simpson@ircnet.com.au
