> My Innes ancestor was born in Glenlivet in about 1810 - Helen > Innes. We > believe her parents were John Innes and Sarah Welsted or > Neilsted > however we keep hitting a brick wall trying to find any info on them. > We also believe that her father John was still alive when Helen died > in > the early 1860's. Was her father still in Scotland? If so, and he died there, you should be able to find his death certificate at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - this will confirm his wife's name and tell you his age and the names of his parents. HTH Anne
