Thanks all of you. Am having a wonderful time sifting and checking this afternoon!! Elizabeth, I will get back to you when I have sorted any Australian connection. I know there was a branch in Aukland.

Hello Ann, I don't know where you live, but today I was checking some info on my Grant and Gordon tree. I'm in Australia. When I read your names I had to get you to look at this. Google 'Grace Emily Munro' You might need to add Australia. She lived in a place called Strathbogie in Northern NSW, just over the Queensland boarder. I would love to see how many descendants of the Banffshire and Aberdeenshire Gordons are around.

That's it! Henrietta was my great grandmother! Many thanks, you have filled in great gaps. Looks like she was named for her grandmother,,,,I now need to find out more about Henrietta and James!

Many thanks, this is the family. But there is some confusion! I have Robert's son James as married to a Henrietta Gordon!

This could be Robert's birth: ROBERT MUNRO Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 17 JUL 1816 Christening: 25 JUL 1816 Keith, Banff, Scotland Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JAMES MUNRO Family Mother: HENRIETTA GORDON If you haven't already had a look at FamilySearch, I would strongly recommend it for any birth/baptism or marriage pre-1855 in Scotland before you try Scotland's People, because this is free and SP is pay-per-view: www.familysearch.org Kate.

If they died in Scotland after 1855, then their death certificates should give you their parents' names (not always accurate, though!) Kate.

Could this be them, from FamilySearch?

Hi! I'm looking for the marriage of Robert and Margaret Munro, in order to track down their parents. They lived in Mid Street, Keith, Banffshire and I've found them in the 1851 census. The 1841 census shows Robert aged 20 living with (probably) his mother Henrietta aged 60. They were all born in Banffshire. Any information VERY gratefully received!

Ann you need to post the names & dates you are after before we know if we can help. If we cant I am sure we can point you in the right direction. Georgina.

Hi Ann What years are you looking for? Scotlandspeople site is a good one. Marion

Can anyone help me with Scottish look-ups please!
