If Birth isn't registered.....

Hi
Can anyone help. My GG Grandmother Marjory Livingstone born 1833 approx in Dundee I think, and died 07/06/1912 in Greenock. Her birth wasn't registered and her parents were William Livingstone and Elizabeth Campbell. I can't trace any details for them at all. Can anyone suggest anything where else I could look.
I am not too sure if they came to Dunoon with Marjory or it was just Marjory and her brother Robert.
Any help would be appreciated.
Carolann

Hi Carolann,

One that may be worth spending a few credits on at ScotlandsPeople is the 1888 death of Elizabeth Campbell / Livingstone, aged 88. If that is the right lady, then check and see if she is listed as married or widowed. That should hopefully be able to steer you towards William Livingstone.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

Thanks, I have just started researching again and must go through my files as I think I may already have looked at this but not too sure.
Once again thanks

Hullo Carol Ann

Have you tried finding Marjory LIVINGSTON on any of the Census 1901, 1891,1881,1871?

Just a few questions, if you don't mind. The answers may be helpful. When did Marjory move to Dunoon? Have you got any more information on Robert, death cert for example? Do you know if either Marjory or Robert married? What makes you think she was born in Dundee.?

Happy Hunting
