Martin,

Right pooooooooooooo!!!

What was your grandmother's name?

Also do you know where & when your Grandfather died?
And am I right in thinking all their children were born in India?

Martin,

First things first no I do not charge I do it for the thrill of the chase!!
I have nearly completed my tree and enjoy helping others who are stuck and need help breaking those brick walls!!!

Unless you subscribe to Ancestry, Find My Past etc then come on here and ask for help with cencus info this saves you alot of time finding children and also parents, the problem is they only cover 10 year periods from 1841 ~ 1901 and we are all sat waiting for the 1911 cencus to be released later this year.

A few free sites that will help you are

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp

But these will really only help you as you get further back.

There are loads of others but these do help.


Can you tell me where your father and grand father were born and died.

The more info you can give me the less work I have to do and the quicker the results!!!

Hello Kirsty..
Help>>> All this research stuff is new to me and a bit confusing, there's so many places to look... Perhaps you can help me or point me in the right direction at least.. any help and i would be very grateful...
I am trying to trace my grandfather and grandmother on my fathers side.. both my parents have passed away some time ago now so no one to ask...
My fathers name. LAWRENCE SANFORD JOSEPH PENMAN 1929 -1982
his fathers name. PERCIVAL RICHARD PENMAN ???
I have found a contact on genes reunited who matches my search criteria, but the contact has not read or replied at all....
What can I do.. Do you charge for services ?
Regards
Martin Richard Penman

Hi Kirsty,

Thanks for offering to do look-ups! If you have a spare moment sometime, please could you have a look in the 1901 Scottish census for this family?:

William Craib (Head) b.1852
Jane Craib (Wife) b.1847 Rathven, Banffshire

and their children:

Ann Craib b1881
William Grant Craib b.1882
Ella Craib b.1887
Alex Craib b.1893

I think they lived in the town of Banff.

Many thanks in advance,
Sarah
