Hi
A friend has asked me to see if I can find out anything about some of her husband's
ancestors.
David Chalmers married Grace Dewar in June 1890. Both were aged 23. On the 1891 census
they were found living in Old Monkland with thier daughter, Jeannie aged 5 months.
This census states that David was born in Dundee and Grace in Bothwell. We can't find
either of their birth entries.
From the wedding certificate we find that David's parents were
David, a boilermaker journeyman, and Marion (nee Kilpatrick). There seems to be no record
of the birth, marriage or death of David and Marion nor are they in any censuses.
Is anybody else chasing this family or does anyone have any further ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.
