Hi Jackie,

Using wildcards I got a hit for Cel* H*n*r*t* in 1883 and a Catherine H*n*r*t* in 1886 both at Midlothian. There is also a Mary H*n*r*t* born 1888 but it's not at Midlothian or Lanarkshire.

Only thing is there is another Catherine born around the same time so it might be her.

Regards,
Annette

Hi Annette and Allan

Many Thanks once again for you help.

I now have the date for Celestia's death from a member of another site but still no further forward findind births for Mary and Catherine. Intresting enough though on Peters and Catherines's marriage cert in 1879 her mother is listed as Margaret McGarry then below it does not say Smith which is what I was told her maiden name was but Henretty so the plot thickens. I am now thinking that the two children in 1991 with their gran may be from a child she had before she married Thomas McGarry and that Peter and Catherine only had the two childen that I have been able to find on SP. I may need to take out a second mortgage to fund SP at this rate
