Joanne -

On William PM's marriage cert, does it say his father was a farmer?

Or an address for William? Was he already at North Bedburn?

Thank you Nyx, you've been brilliant!

Hi ArgyllGran, yes his father was a farmer and the residence was North Bedburn.

Thank you xx

Joanne, if you look at either of the above marriages on scotlandspeople, you will get father's and mother's names.

Credits on scotlandspeople are valid for 2 years.

I think it's this one....

A kind lady who is an expert on Scotlands People has contacted me through social media and is going to have a look for him, keeping my fingers crossed or I'm booking the train to Scotland to go look myself ha ha - this one really is driving me nuts!!

Thanks again Nyx <3

This appears to be Frances after her marriage , again it gives her birthplace as England, so in theory should be able to find her birth on the GRO, but I am not sure which it might be

Alexander seems to have remarried by 1881 ( did Frances die?)
but note that some of the children have Dods as middle name
