Thomas Dods

Post by Big Eagles » Mon Oct 08, 2007 11:07 pm

OK then folks - first time at this and I'm slightly stumped...

Searching for the parents of a Thomas Dods born c.1810 though this could be a bit loose. :shock: Thomas married Matilda Telfer on 21/12/1835. I have got their Marriage details from the OPR so this links in nicely with their children and the rest of the tree.

Can't find his death cert to try and link it that way - only thing I'm sure of is Thomas died between 1858 and 1893.

Given the way the tree goes, father's name could well be Thomas, John, Archibald, William but then I could be going mad...

Any help appreciated - think a trip to the Dalkeith area may be in order :D

I'm numb

Catcha later when I type out my next issue to engage my brain :D

Well, you would not be the first one... :roll:
I've done it myself! Sometimes the effort of putting your thoughts and facts in order to pose the question are enough to have you off answering yer own questions in no time :lol:

We look forward to your next poser!
