Hello I have just join this list and wish to ask for some help in find a family called Martin from Hamilton, I have a little information that might help. Have written to loads of people that have some names the same as what I am looking for but no connection with me. Alive or deceased would greatly help me in my quest for this family. My cousin was born 1939 to James Martin born 28th February 1905 in Hamilton Larnarkshire to parents John Martin 1872 in Hamilton and Annie Bruce Kerr 1871 they marry 23rd December 1892 in Glasgow. they had the following children; William 1895 John 1897 Agnes 1899 Margaret 1901 Thomas 1903 James 1905 Robert 1907 Annie I have found the family in 1901 Census living at 8 John Street, Hamilton, Larkashire. John by proffesion was a stone mason, also 1911 when James was 6 years old but couldn't make out the address. John was born in 1872 in Hamilton too, his parents where William Martin born 1839 and Agnes Renwick, they married in douglas 1863, only found one child at the monment as I have mention called John.

They don't have the images of the records which can be found only on the Scotlands People website at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - a pay site.

I have a Martin from Douglas who may be totally unconnected. She was the wife of an offshoot on my tree and I have little details. I mention it only because of the coincidence of name and place. Annie Martin, born in Douglas 23 Apr 1857 to Samuel Martin and Helen Symington, married in Douglas 15 March 1878 to John Chapman; one witness was Catherine Martin. She had children Helen about 1877 in Douglas, Marion 1880 in Crawfordjohn and William about 1888 in Carnwath.
