Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/9956 Message Board Post: Hello, I am trying to establish the parents of a Alexander Ruickbie age 49 born in Scotland who appears on the 1901 British Census living at 10 Alma Street in Southwick, Durham, Sunderland with his wife Mary age 40 who was born in England N.K. The BDM site indicates that a Alexander Ruickbie was married September 1900 at Sunderland. Furthermore the BDM also shows a Mary Annie Smart being married same place and timing – I do not know if the two are related. I have checked thoroughly at the Scotlands People site and no record exists for this Alexander. I am well experienced with searches in Scotland but my knowledge of Englands on-line available information is lacking. Any information on Alexander's background or methods by which I could use online records in England to establish same would be greatly appreciated. LarryR
