	The surnames mentioned, Killoh, Shiach, plus Hendry, Massie are most commonly found in NE Scotland along the Aberdeen-Inverness axis See http://gbnames.publicprofiler.org/Surnames.aspx You can get 1890s maps showing parishes for any Scottish county via: http://www.electricscotland.com/history/gazetteer/ Although the coverage is spotty, the most accurate transcriptions are found at: http://www.freecen.org.uk/ Moray & Nairn are complete 1841-1871, Banff 1841-1861, and Aberdeen 1841-1861 is almost complete - there's a small bit of the city still to do for 1861. Go to http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ and search for 379000,861800 If you go to zoom level 3, you'll see the arrow points to Wester Cushnie.

	Agnes (the mother)'s birth. Note spelling of Henry - not Hendry: 1894 WALKER, AGNES HENRY SHI[ach] F MACDUFF /BANFF 155/A2 0016 EDIT: Actually, it's recorded twice: 1894 WALKER AGNES HENRY SHI F GAMRIE /BANFF 155/A1 0011 If you buy credits on Scotlands People, you can view/print the image of the cert, for all parents' details, date of parents' marriage, etc.

	Hi Maddie I think you have found what appears to fit, the b cert is 1st Aug 1923 Brixton and the marriage very possible . Also as Rambling Rose said the name could be Scotish. I will go on Ancestry and then try to find sources. Many many Thanks Les

	Shiach would appear to be a Scottish name? perhaps they married in Scotland so worth looking at Scotlands People website for BMDs

	Hi Helpers. I have received b cert for Agnes Killoh Watson b1923 Brixton Lambeth. Father shown as Herbert Watson (Journalist) and mother as Agnes Hendry Shaich Watson formally Walker. 4 Dover Mansions Canterbury Rd Brixton. I have searched and searched but can not find a marriage for Herbert and Agnes to be able to continue this branch. Plus "Killoh" and Shaich are quite unusual, Where would these names come from?
