Hello

I am working on my  Balfour family tree. (<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">SCOTLAND</st1:place></st1:country-region>)

<o:p> </o:p>

My grandfather was James Milne Balfour(born 1873) who was one of 10 children born to George Dalziel Balfour (b1846) & Jessie Scrimgeour/Scrymgeour) married in 1871.

<o:p> </o:p>

My intention is to trace the family tree down to the present year (2007).

<o:p> </o:p>

I am trying to trace Margaret Ann (Meta) Balfour born 1872 who married James Dawson in 1899(<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Newington</st1:place></st1:City>).

<o:p> </o:p>

Also Anne Athol Balfour born 1880? Married Samuel Douglas Pitt 1909.Newington

<o:p> </o:p>

These couples may have moved to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Africa</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

<o:p> </o:p>

I am also  trying to find the grand children of John Milne Balfour (one of the 10 children) who married Alice Margaret McKinlay/McKinley in 1896.

<o:p> </o:p>

John & Alices children were

Evan McKinlay Balfour born 1902 no details of marriage

Charles John Balfour born 1895 married Elizabeth Cameron in 1916 �?St Giles

James George Balfour born 1897 married Rebecca Jane Inkster in 1920 �?St Giles

George Dalziel Balfour born 1899 married Sophia Muir in 1923 �?St Giles

<o:p> </o:p>

Hope I haven’t given you to big a task. I would be grateful of any help you can give me.

<o:p> </o:p>

Thanking you in advance

Regards

Margaret Balfour  Mercer
