Hi all I have a problem in that I have a young lady who is in Aikenhead on the border of Renfrew and Lanarkshire in 1851 and I would very much like to know where she went to after that She was born in Demerara British Guiana in approx 1827 the daughter of George ANDERSON and Sarah FRASER , Sarah sadly died and George later remarried to Mary HAYLOCK, it is from this later union I descend. The way Scotlands people is set you cannot search for a birth place and as Mary ANDERSON is as common as muck, I am finding it very difficult to know how to proceed? I have tried all variations on the LDS 1881 cds and as many as I can think of on Scots Peops, nothing obvious on the IGI. Are there any census that can be searched by place of birth? The connected family (mostly SMITHs) are at Crofthead House Cathcart by 1861 where they live for many years but no sign of Mary after 1851. Anyone any bright ideas as to how I might trace Mary? All help and advice very much appreciated Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) Admin for OVINGTON - HAYLOCK - SEYMOUR Lists PS as its so close to the border I shall also post this to Lanark apologies for duplicates.

Hi Nivard, I did a free search of deaths on Scotland's People. I put in Anderson, Mary, in other surnames, Fraser, birth 1827 +/- 3 years, 1855-1900, Lanark. There is one match. (sorry did not have any credits left to view result) Could be your Mary.
