Hi,

I am trying to trace relatives of mine. I have hit a brick wall with the Ballentyne (Various spelling configurations).

There was an Alice Ballentyne who had a mother Elizabeth (nee unknown) and her father was George. She was born around 1871 in Gateshead (I think)

By 1881 Alice was living with her mother Elizabeth (now Hunter) in Edinburgh. Elizabeth had remarried in 1874 in Gateshead.

I am trying to trace Elizabeths surname. She was born in Edenbridge in Kent around 1846

I am also trying to find out what happened to George Ballantyne between 1871 (Alice born) AND 1874 (Elizabeth remarrying)

Thanks

Paul
