Marion Pettigrew is this her maiden name and what year was she born ? Who did she marry ? Is New York her place of birth ? Need more data to help.

Marion Pettigrew was born in Scotland and married John C. Groenewold after her family arrived in New York. She lived in New York in Queens and Nassau counties. Last address was in Jamaica, NY. I knew her brothers William, David, and Tom but never met my grand parents. Her father was also born in Scotland his name was Thomas. He lived in New York, probably also in Brooklyn or Queens or Nassau. I do not know where he died or is burried. I think he married Isabella but that is about all I know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for replying.

Is this your family?

Not been able to find Thomas or Isabella after the 1920 census.

if want to find Thomas and Isabella's wedding I would suggest you look on this site:

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

This is fee paying site

This looks like Thomas & Isabella's wedding based on the fact that their children born in Scotland were born in Bathgate. You could get the marriage cert to find both fathers names from the site above using the details below.

I think all the data I have posted is correct but I would double check all to be sure

Many thanks, there is some new information there for me. I have run into several Thomas Pettigrews and that has been a problem for me. I will look into this again next week when I have a chance.
