George Philips, taylor (tailor) b Edinburgh c1750

Post by Sweetheart » Sun Jul 27, 2014 10:09 am

In the old parochial records a marriage took place between my 4 x grt grandfather, Daniel Laferty and Janet Philips on 16 April 1810 in Canongate, Edinburgh. It shows Janet's father is George Philips, taylor (tailor). No more information other than what I have so does anyone have any further information on the families of Lafertys and Philips around that time :) please?
Any signposts would be welcome too!

Have you looked for Janet's death record?

If she lived to 1855 or later her death cert will show her parents names - possible as she could be in her 60/70s

Do watch out for spelling though - there are several versions both those surnames could appear as.

Or her birth record in the OPRs , a look at any census record could give you an idea where to look.
Again if she live beyond 1841.
