Hi Garydevine:

You are going to have to bite the bullet on this one because they are all very common names.

If you search for John Devine, male, 51-53 there are only 3 hits for all of Scotland. If you add a second person, William, there are only 2 occurrences. If you combine William, male, 17 -18 and add John, there are only 2 hits.

It would be worth the point to look at John Devine, male, 51-53, adding William as a second person without naming a location, because there are too many variations for the name Elizabeth.

My granny was Agnes Devine and her father William,but sometimes the spelling has been DIVINE,DIVEN and Devan so I also have a bother.
My granny married a John Cassidy and theres so many Cassidys out there as well,LOL.
