Find Ancestors

I'm looking for the familyrelatives of my Grandfather Archibald Hughes, Agric. Engineer of Tweedmouth, Northumberland deceased in 1970 at Berwick Infirmary
My Mother Sarah Johnstone Bramley [nee Hughes] was his eldest daughter her mother being Agnes nee Pilmer.

Relatives as in still alive or ancestors ?

Is this him ?
It helps to have a date of birth

For our reference ...


Births Jun 1912
Hughes Sarah J - Pilmer - Berwick- 10b 1023


Not seeing a marriage for Hughes/ Pilmer

No birth for Archibald c 1887
Just wondering if born in Scotland

Have you found him in 1901 and 1911 ?

Where does he give as his birthplace ?

Do you have your mother's birth cert? What is Archibald's occupation on it?

Lorna, I have just found Archibald's WW1 record on Ancestry.

It has details of his marriage to Agnes and of four children.

It might be worth while to take out a free trial with Ancestry (just make sure you cancel before the trial is up to avoid having to pay a subscription) to view it.

Ancestry has transcriptions of Scottish censuses up to 1901 so once you have viewed the marriage, you will probably be able to trace their families back.

This is the record you want:

If this is the death (the only one that I am seeing in Northumberland at the moment) then the informants details may be useful.
