I NEED HELP!!!

I'm searching for the parents of Mathew Alexander (born 1782 Shotts Lanark)
I've looked in scottishpeople without any luck.
THANKS

Hi Betty
There seem to be several submissions for him on the IGI. These suggest that he married a Mary Kirk (05 MAY 1805, Shotts, Lanark). Can I ask how you know which year he was born? Have you maybe seen him in a census?

Do you know if he survived until after 1855, in which case you might be able to find his death, which may give his parents' names?

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Lesley,
Sorry about the delay in replying.
I got Mathews' information from the IGI. It gives his marriage, birth and death dates. His son David was my GG Grandfather.
