Hi Tan,
Sorry to have to edit your post but we do not allow details of living people to be posted on the forum. If you can confirm that all who are mentioned have died then you can amend the post and include the surname again.
As Mary has said, the place to start is Scotlands People - do ask again if you get stuck!Elaine

Originally posted by Elaine ..Spain View PostSorry, didn't make myself clear. I was concerned whether the children were still living - Ella, Douglas, John and Robert - which is why I removed their father's surname.

If you have your grandfather's birth certificate it will give his parent's names and possibly more information if indeed he was born in Scotland. That's your start point for going back through his line.
If you want to go forward and can't see the marriage or births in scotlandspeople then you need to check the England and Wales index and possibly the Irish ones - all on ancestry.

I have checked scotlandspeople and as you say nothing is coming up for Robert's birth in 1923 nor for a marriage for Robert snr.
You say he was married before - it must have been a short marriage as he would only have been eligible to marry (age 16) in 1910 and if your grandfather was not the first born then not much time in between to have all the others.

Although there are no matching births in Edinburgh for your grandfather there are 35 matches for a Robert Cameron born 1923-1924 doing a free search. When I searched for Ella between 1910 and 1923 there were 4 matches, but non in Edinburgh either.
Have you looked at those 4 Ella births Tan? As Ella is the least common of the 4 names.Chrissie passed away in January 2020.

There is a birth for an Ella in Edinburgh
1910 CAMERON ELLA BRUCE F MORNINGSIDE EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/06 0414
but I was able to look at the registration and she is illegitimate so not the one we are looking for.
