I'm assuming that your reference to Ann Milne Brown being born in 1909 is a typo and that was the year her daughter was born. I re-read your original posts and I'm afraid I have some bad news. You indicated before that the Ann Milne Brown you are looking for was born 28 May 1885 to John Brown, butcher's assistant and Mary Knowles and her place of birth was 6 Chalmers Building, Edinburgh. I found a death registration at ScotlandsPeople for Ann Milne Brown, daughter of John Brown, butcher's assistant and Mary Knowles who died 16 Feb 1886 at the age of 8 months. Her place of death is listed as 6 Chalmers Building. It does appear that a different Ann Milne Brown was the mother of Eva Christian Brown.

She is not the same Ann Milne Brown who Ron Brown is making enquires about on the List, though I do think that there is a connection somewhere. Maybe, the Ann I am seeking is either an Aunt or a cousin of Ron's Ann. The common link maybe through the marriage of John Brown Snr to Ann Milne on 21st March 1861. This Ann Brown (nee Milne) was my Ann Milne Brown's paternal grandmother. Hope that is not too confusing. John Brown and Mary Knowles were married on 31st Dec, 1879 in Edinburgh. It was believed that Ann Milne Brown sometime after 1910 immigrated to Canada, though I still have not been able to find her there. She even could have then made her way to the United States. I did some Googling and found that some Milnes did immigrate to Canada and the USA She left behind in Scotland a daughter Eva Christian Brown born 24th December 1909. I am helping Eva's son Bob to try and find his missing grandmother Ann and also to try and find who the family were that raised his mother Eva. Regards, Janice Belrose - Sydney Australia

Meg, I think you mentioned going to the LDS Family History Center before. The LDS have filmed all the OPR's held at New Register House. You can either use Scotlands People & get a digitised scan or order the film for St Chuthberts containg marriages for that period and read it. I am surprised that it was not on the IGI, most of the marriages indexed from the LDS extraction are on the IGI. There are significant gaps in baptisms though, with some parishes apparently (from the IGI) baptising only males or females, this is because the not all the batches from the original index were loaded into the IGI. It is best if you can get access to the mirofiche index as these are largely complete. I am interested in hearing of examples of omissions from that microfiche index (or even the DOS shell computer index known as "Scotish Church Records), that have subsequently been indexed on Scotlands People. Back to your marriage entry, don't exspect much, most just give the name of the bride & groom, some give the grooms occupation or the brides father, some give names of cautioners, these are usualy family members (but not always) who pay a bond for the banns to be read, which is refunded on the couple marrying. Some records don't even record the marriage date, just that the banns were read on such & such a date and they were lawfully married. cheers John Dods Wellington, New Zealand Proud to be a transcriber for the freeCEN Project and volunteer for Random Acts of Geneological Kindness Ask me how you can contribute to either of these worthy projects or for other ways of helping our hobby.

Hi, The Glenavon went down 23/12/1887 and I have quite a few Times newspaper articles on it. I am trying to find out who the crew were that went down on it. I have my relation James Farquhar and also some Irish sailors who were also on it (She was registered at Cork) Is there anyway I can find out through Scotlands People? I did find James Farquhar under minor records and thought that the rest of the crew would be down with him but no such luck. I haven't been able to get the crew Agreement for the ship in that year I tried at family search but it wasn't there. Any suggestions welcome cheers Marilyn from Western Australia

Hello again, Doug and other readers, A small correction to my previous message - Marion (WHITELAW) VAIR died at Morningside, Innerleithen on 13 Sec 1881, not Athelstaneford, East Lothian, which was her birthplace about 1803. Katherine
Hello Doug, I have a Whitelaw in connection with my VAIR ancestors. Robert VAIR (1806-1869), brother of my 3xgr-grandfather, was married to Marion WHITELAW, who died at Athelstaneford, East Lothian on 13 Dec 1881. Her parents were given as George WHITELAW and Janet SNEATH on the death reg. The IGI shows George WHITELAW married to Janet on 16 Aug 1800 at Athelstaneford. Robert Vair and Marion were married at Melrose in 1825. I have traced descendants of Robert VAIR and Marion WHITELAW through scotlandspeople.gov.uk with connections to Canada, as well as my own direct line to his brother James VAIR, whose widow came with her children to Ontario about 1859. If you have any information on the Whitelaws mentioned above, I would be delighted to hear it.

Can anybody help with two questions? Robert Kerr McFarlane was born 1885 in High Street, Musselburgh to Andrew McFarlane and Joan Kerr. He married Elizabeth Edgar in 1910 at The Green Cafe, South Bridge, Edinburgh. His marriage record gives his occupation as professional golfer. The couple migrated to Sydney in 1928. Their last known address was 3 Links Avenue, Musselburgh. This looks adjacent to Musselburgh Old course and supports the professional golfer occupation. My questions are:- a) Does anyone have any links to Robert or knowledge of his golfing career b) Does anyone have any knowledge of The Green Cafe? Many thanks, Peter in Sydney
Hi to all, Its a long time since I have seen any WHITELAW references so I am re posting my direct WHITELAW ancestors. I have more information on the families of many of their siblings that I will be happy to share if anyone thinks they have a link. I have also collected a fair amount of information on other ROX and BEW WHITELAW lines which I have not been able to connect so far. 4X GRANDFATHER is: David WHITELAW, b.
