Hi G Love
If those are her sisters, then as sensibly suggested by emanday, the 1855 birth of Ann should be worth getting hold of! Incase you are unaware of the significance of 1855, the 1855 birth entries often give details of earlier children to the same couple. You shoudl be able to find and download it from the Scotlands People site.

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi G Love,

Take it from me and Lesley, the Ann Tucker's birth 1855 entry might give you information you might not get anywhere else.

I've only been lucky enough to have had a few of these 1855 treasures, but some have revealed rellies I never knew I had! If you are really lucky, they will tell you where the parents were married/came from!

Well the worth the SP credits!

Hi Georgia,

Mary and Lesley are so right about the 1855 birth records. A wealth of information.

Your Ann Tucker was one of 7 children, at the time of her birth there were 3 girls and 2 boys living and one boy deceased. The mother was 37 years old.

I've forwarded the birth record to you via email (only cause you are my wee sisters friend :lol: :lol:)

Hope to meet up with you and Christine in July.

Kind Regards,

Ina

P.S. Left PM on the BB for you.

Thanks Ina, I got it. I think I might have got confused, as I replied to you saying it wasn't Ann I was looking for - it's Isabella. However, having read all the posts I know see that even Ann's bc can have significance.
That was kind of you Ina.
