Can't read a name on a Marriage Registration.....

Post by dmd1164 » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:11 pm

I have a marriage registration that I can't quite make the name out.
How do I copy and paste that part of the registration for people to view to see if we can work out the name?

Hi Donna
Best thing to do is upload the whole thing to the Gallery. Instructions follow:

Print this out if it helps!

You have to be logged into Talking Scot, and then.....

1. Scroll up the page & click on the Gallery link at the top of this page

In the Gallery page:
2. Click on the Upload File link at the top of the page.

Under the File Uploads section:
3. Click the Browse button.
This will open a dialog box which will let you look for the file that you wanted to upload to TS. It makes life easier for you if you have saved this file to somewhere obvious like “Desktop” or “My Documents” or wherever you usually store your family history files.

4. When you have located the file, double click on it.
In the File Uploads box you should now see the “path” to the file e.g.
C:\Documents and Settings\Lesley\Desktop\8ElginVillas_aka_1401.jpg
(This just means the TS website now knows where to collect your file from)

5. Click on the Continue button at the bottom of this page.
Your file will now be uploaded and you should see a message:
1 uploads were successful.
Please click 'Continue' to add the files to albums.

6. Click the Continue button

7. You should now see a page where you can add more details about the image if needed - if not needed, just click Continue

8. You should now see a page with the message:
The previous file was placed successfully.
You have successfully placed all the files.

9. Click the Continue button.
You will be taken back to the main Gallery page.

You then have to wait for approval from TSAG who will post your image in the gallery, and some kind soul will (I hope) then paste the link to your image in the body of your post. If no link appears in your post within 24hrs, but you know the image upload was successful just post a message and someone will help!

To go back to the Forum just click the Forum tab at the top of the page.
Hope this helps!

Best wishes
Lesley

Ok well hopefully that uploaded. I'm stuck on the Taylor names. I can make out the James Reid but the brides first name Sue??? Irene????.

The bride's parents looks like Murray Taylor and ??? Taylor nee Garvie?
I've listed it as Reid Taylor Marriage. If anyone can read the names - I'd be very appreciative.

I noticed that there is a Death Certificate listed on the gallery - Robert Thomson 1855 - how can I access this - I have a Robert Thomson born 1809 and wondering if it is the same person???

You can view the topic discussion and link to the image here:

viewtopic.php?t=2589

In the future the easiest way to locate something in our forum is to run a search by clicking the search botton at the top of the page. In this case Enter "Robert Thomson 1855" or some such in the search window...click on "all terms"...select "all posts"...and up will come a list. The first item being your very own post...and second being the original post.

Best wishes

Or the image in the Gallery

Found by using the "search" facility in the Gallery and searching for Thomson 1855.

All the best,
