Find Ancestors

Hi derek,

On Scotlandspeople and IGI there are birth records for only two of the children from this family but 1 male and 1 female. The child of the family that seems to fit the date is a Mary - later and coincidently Jessie's daughter is named Mary. But changing a Jessie to a Mary seems a bit odd, especially as in all later records she is called Jessie. I can't find another family with a David and Margaret as parents in Perthshire either. Any ideas?

hi have you tried other christian names jessie could also be jane janet jean or perhaps her parents did not christen her that is a poss only christening male children
cheers derek

Thanks Maureen andf Val,
I don't understand why I can't find this person. Her parents were listed as David Millar and Margaret Forbes and in census records it says that she was born in Meigle - on several of the census's actually - I can find a family living in Perthshire with a David and Margaret as parents but no sign of a Jessie!! Where to turn to next any suggestions please? Thank you

Is there anyone living near Meigle, in Perthshire who could look up a birth for me please?

Name: Jessie Millar b.c1844 - Meigle, Perthshire

Parents: David Millar and Margaret Forbes

I have found a family in Perthshire of that time that seems to fit(from all census records) but there is no Jessie within that family. But I cannot find Jessie's birth records. Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you

Yvonne Leaver
