I think that my mother Christina BEATON (born Glasgow 23 April 1904) was adopted by John and Janet Watson. My mother died when I was five years old and I am trying to confirm her birth.

I have a christening glass engraved with "Chrissie August 1911", so think she may have been christened with her adopted parents' name of WATSON prior to emmigration to Australia. Her marriage certificate states that her name was Christina Beaton Watson.

I desperately need to find someone who can go to the churches on the island to see if there is a baptism listed for my mother in the parish registers. They probably came across from Liverpool in transit to Australia.

If anyone reading this is willing to help me, please let me know by email. I would be happy to pay for the service.
