IGI has what looks like twins that could be your Peter and Christina's

JAMES SINCLAIR Birth: 06 AUG 1869 Crieff, Perth, Scotland
HENRY SINCLAIR Birth: 06 AUG 1869 Crieff, Perth, Scotland

If so you could look at the birth on SP and find the marriage date and place to confirm.


There is also a marriage of a PETER SINCLAIR (parents Peter Sinclair Christina Donaldson) to a Helen Roy 02 JUN 1871 Strathmungo, Govan, Lanark, Scotland. A lot more research would be needed to make him yours but maybe worth making a note of. He was 21 at time of marriage and its a user submitted entry.
Scotland - Donaldson / Moggach / Shaw / Geddes / Sim / Gray / Mackie / Richards / Joel / Coull / Mckimmie / Panton / McGregor
Ireland and Scotland - Casey / McDade / Phillips / McCandle / Dinely / Comaskey + various spellings

Hi all,

Here's the 1901 census for the Peter and Christian Sinclair born in Creiff, Perthshire: (Christian was born in Comrie, Perthshire)

1901 Scotland Census 1901 Scotland Census
Name: Peter Sinclair
Age: 68
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1833
Relationship: Head
Spouse's name : Christian Sinclair
Gender: Male
Where born: Crieff, Perthshire
Registration Number: 342
Registration district: Crieff
Civil parish: Crieff
Town: Crieff
County: Perthshire
Address: 12 Burrell Str
Occupation: Town's Scavinger
ED: 9
Household schedule number: 77
Line: 9
Roll: CSSCT1901_118
Household Members: Name Age
Peter Sinclair 68
Christian Sinclair 70
Christian Sinclair 22


Christian age 22 is a grand daughter. If this is the correct family, then both Peter and Christian, his wife, died after 1901. That should help narrow things down a bit.

Hi Gary

Certificates from 1855 have much more information on them than those from any other year. You're really lucky if you have one for a family but from what Andrew has found on the IGI it looks as though your Sinclairs had children one year either side of 1855. Such is life.
