My cousin, uncle and grandfather were named after him so this is important to me to find. He was born 5 Nov 1838 and died sometime between the 1871 and 1881 Scotland census. I've been searching for quite some time on Scotlandspeople.com, using up many, many credits, I was amazed to find his baptism record on Familysearch.org while doing only one search. I put the same information on Scotlandspeople and found nothing! > I'm attaching what I've found from both resources. Does anyone know where I can turn to find the document I would love to find?? Thank you for any help you can provide me. I did find the marriage record for he his wife Hughina, and the birth records and census's for their children, I'm just stuck on Walter. > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
