Thank you Kay, and also Mary, Joan, Les and Joanne who also responded to my query. The June 1821 birth seems a good possibility, which I had originally discounted as all but the 1851 census seemed to suggest that she was born 1820 or earlier. Interestingly, the Familysearch entry you found , from an LDS member, has Grissel as the spelling, 'Chapeltown' and the parents as Alexander and Elisabeth. There is another Familysearch entry, from a systematic recording of the parish register, which has at the same dates no mention of Chapeltown, the spelling Girsel, and the parents Alexr. and Eliz. Two LDS members have also entered Grace as born in Glasgow 1819 - presumably guesswork because that was where her husband's banns entry appeared on an early IGI version, before the Neilston marriage entry appeared in later IGI. I haven't noticed mention before on this list of http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyPerth.htm which will get you into the Familysearch Scotland pages with a reference number to trawl the entries in one parish at a time.

Hi List Thanks to Jeff Coleman for his reminder of the IGI Batch No search site. Unfortunately when you have it as one of your "Favourites" you tend to take it for granted. The Web-address he gave was just for Perthshire. However, the 'parent' Web-address for the IGI Batch Numbers for the British Isles and North America is :- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page Many thanks Les --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi list, One addition to the list that I would suggest is another Hugh Wallis site that has some useful features. If you are lucky enough to find a relative with a middle name there is an index for that. While that index is not fully integrated with the Batch Number site in that you cannot toggle back and forth from one to the other it does help pinpoint individuals. Try http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/.
