GLASS FAMILY --Urquhart,Logie Wester
« on: Sunday 18 December 05 10:46 UTC (UK) »

Have run into the usual brick wall tracing my direct descendant Finlay Glass.
I suspect it may be him on a 1861 Urquhart census under the name which looks a little more like Glais.
He originally married Christian Campbell in 1810(and had several children),then remarried Anne Gray in 1842.
I can find no Birth or Death records for Finlay(tried IGI & SP)
Would really appreciate any help

Hi Joe,
Thanks for that,although I had copies of the Census I could never decipher the
locations.
Still have not been able to find Birth or Death information,but hope to have some luck when we visit in May/June for a look around and some research
All the best for the New Year

Hi John

Just picking up on Joe's 1861 census entries. If this is your Finlay staying with his brother, then there is a possible christening entry for William, an actual extract from the OPRs on IGI (also one more sister showing):

To parents John GLASS and Katherine GRAY:

1. WILLIAM GLASS Christening: 30 JUN 1793 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. ISOBEL GLASS Christening: 19 JUN 1796 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

A possible marriage for this couple on IGI:

JOHN GLASS  Marriages: Spouse: KATHRINE GRAY    
Marriage:  24 FEB 1780  Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

Regards.

These are all the death entries coming up for Gl*s in R & C on SP. Looks like they are probably all brother and sisters, given the Gray for their mother's maiden name:


1. 1863   GLASS ANN GRAY/ MCKENZIE age 80    @ KNOCKBAIN/ROSS AND CROMARTY   FROS Ref: 073/00 0036   
2. 1862   GLASS CATHERINE   GRAY/MCGREGOR age 75 @ URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTER   /ROSS AND CROMARTY GROS Ref: 084/00 0053   
3. 1883   GLASS   ISABELLA   age 87   @ ROSSKEEN/ROSS AND CROMARTY   GROS Ref: 081/00 0051   
4. 1859   GLASS   MARGARET GRAY   age 70   @ URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTER   /ROSS AND CROMARTY   GROS Ref: 084/00 0036   
5. 1876   GLASS   WILLIAM    age 82   @ URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTER/ROSS AND CROMARTY   GROS Ref: 084/00 0022


No sign of Finlay though  Cry

Confirmation of births/christenings from the OPRs on SP for some of the above death entries including one for Ann and the IGI entries for William and Isobel:

1   07/01/1781   GLASS   ANNE   JOHN GLASS/CHERINE GRAY      URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTE   084/00 0001
2      30/06/1793   GLASS   WILLIAM   JOHN GLASS/KATHARINE GRAY   URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTE   084/00 0001
3   19/06/1796   GLASS   ISOBEL   JOHN GLASS/KATHRINE GRAY      URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTE   084/00 0001

Be aware that there is another couple called John Glass and Margaret Gray who were also having children same time and place. The death entry for a Margaret in the post above, no.4, may relate to this entry on SP:

27/03/1789   GLASS   MARGARET   JOHN GLASS/MARGARET GRAY   URQUHART AND LOGIE WESTE   084/00 0001

Thanks for all your info Monica  Cheesy
I have now spent more on SP checking on a couple.
You have the correct marriage for John & Katherine and they had 6? children
Anne/Finlay/William/Isobel/Katharine/Margaret?
Glass Anne Gray/McKenzie was Findlays wife
I have death Cert for all except Anne/Finlay/Isobel.
Margaret is a puzzle still.As you say there is Margaret to a John Glass & Margaret
Gray,but I can find no record of a Marriage or other children to them.
On Margarets death Cert parents are listed as John Glass & Catherine Gray with William a witness.She is also listed as sister to William on the 1851 Census
I will keep hunting

Regards
John

Hi John

Just a couple of points. The death entry for an Ann. Have you viewed the entry:

1863   GLASS ANN GRAY/ MCKENZIE age 80    @ KNOCKBAIN/ROSS AND CROMARTY   FROS Ref: 073/00 0036   

This shows mother's maiden name as Gray. Unless this entry has been mistranscribed, Ann was either a Glass who married a McKenzie (or the other way round) whose mother's maiden name was Gray........so, if correct she could be the missing sister to your Finlay.

The original image for Finlay at his brother William's in 1861 would show whether he was a widower.

Similarly, the entry for an Isobel:

1883   GLASS   ISABELLA   age 87   @ ROSSKEEN/ROSS AND CROMARTY   GROS Ref: 081/00 0051   

It would appear from index that she was single as no other surname shows. It also doesn't show mother's name which is a pity (a fairly recent introduction by SP, not sure how far along this indexing has got). Just double checking that you are aware that Isobel and Isabella are all variants and easily interchangeable. So, she may be your missing Isobel.

.......as for Finlay, I cannot begin to think how he has been indexed. I've searched with minimum letters for him, F* *SS, and still nothing  Cry

Regards.

Hi Monica,
Thanks for hanging in there  Kiss
I have not viewed your 1863 Ann entry as I can not get anything to come up on SP apart from my Ann Gray who Married Finlay,which I had.
She was born Abt 1806,Died 1886 aged 80 (her mother's maiden name was Mckenzie)
The 1883 Glass Isabella I viewed and it is a different family(father William etc)
The 1861 Census has William  s/ Finlay m/ Ann m
What are your thoughts on the Margaret side of things ?

Regards
John

Hi John

Had another go trying to find Finlay and he's still hiding  Undecided

In respect of Margaret, I think she is certainly, from the censuses and DC verification, a sister to your Finlay. Why her mother has been indexed as Margaret Gray, I have no idea other than probably you would have to see an original extract from the OPR to see whether there has not been an error. She is living with William in 1841:

Margret Glass    45, b. R & C    
William Glass    45, agri. lab., b. R & C    
Elizabeth Gilanders  12, b. R & C

Address: Upper Kinkell, Urquhart, R & C

As you say, she is still with William in 1851 at Kinkell before dying in 1859:

Margaret Glass 61, sister
William Glass    56, head, tanner of 8 acres
Janet McLennan    14

After this William went to live with (or they came to him) Finlay and Ann in Kinkell, where they show together in 1861.


From the info you posted, Ann Gray/McKenzie's DC, and confirmation that she was a widow by 1886, I tried to find her in 1881 and no joy. I have (after battling with the wildcards) found Ann, by now a widow, and brother in law William living together in 1871.......under surname GLAP ( Cry - or scream!).

So, all I can say now is that Finlay died between 1861 and 1871.

I'm not sure how much you have on the other lines. I'll post separately for clarity.

Now on to sister Ann, with her death entry: 1863   GLASS ANN GRAY/ MCKENZIE age 80    @ KNOCKBAIN/ROSS AND CROMARTY   FROS Ref: 073/00 0036   

She is indeed another sister to Finlay. Her marriage on IGI I would think:

ANN GLASS  Marriages: Spouse: DONALD MCKENZIE      
Marriage:  15 MAR 1805  Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

And some of her children, actual extracts from the OPRs:

1. DOND. MACKENZIE  Christening: 27 JAN 1818 Knockbain, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. ANNE MAC KENZIE Christening: 23 MAY 1815 Knockbain, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
3. MARGT. MACKENZIE Christening: 17 JUL 1823 Knockbain, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
4. ISOBEL MACKENZIE Christening: 22 OCT 1807 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
5. JOHN MACKENZIE Birth: 09 NOV 1809/ Christening: 10 NOV 1809 Killearnan, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
6. KENNETH MACKENZIE Birth: 27 JUL 1812/ Christening: 28 JUL 1812 Killearnan, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

And her entry on the 1851 Census:

Ann Glass 65, crofter, head, b. Ferintosh, Urquhart
Catherine McKenzie 28, daugh
Donald McKenzie 30, son
An Mitchell    3

Address: Muckerinch, Knockbain

She is living alone there in 1861, age 73, a pauper.

Regards.

And lastly Catherine. Catherine as you know married a Donald McGregor. Children showing to them on IGI, a mix of submitted entries and actual extracts from the OPRs:

1. CHARLES MC GREGOR  Birth: 27 MAY 1826/ Christening: 06 JUN 1826 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. DONALD MACGREGOR Christening: 21 AUG 1816 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
3. KENNETH MC GREGOR Christening: 02 DEC 1822 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
4. WILLIAM MC GREGOR Christening: 19 JAN 1814 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
5. ALEXANDER MC GREGOR Christening: 17 MAY 1819 Urquhart And Logie Wester, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

Catherine's 1861 Census entry, a widow by now probably, prior to her death in 1862:

Charles McGregor 30, head, agri. lab.
Alexr McGregor    40, brother, shoemaker
Catherine McGregor 72, mother
Betsy Dingwall    15, servant

Address: Newton, Urquhart

The final sister Isobel that is showing on the birth OPRs, I can find no trace of. She may have died pre 1851 Census (easier to search for ages and places of birth). I can't easily see any marriages that may connect to her either.

Finlay remains the puzzle, taking us back to your first post  Undecided He seems to be the only one of the family who ventured out of R & C. I can see his marriage in 1810 in Barony, Glasgow and son Malcolm born a couple of years later. Then his marriage in 1842 to Ann Gray also in Glasgow. I can't see him in Glasgow in 1841 Census, but wondered whether he was already living with Ann Gray by this point which would make sense of this entry in 1841:

Ann Glass  35, b. Scotland          
Finlay Glass 5, ship's carpenter (?) b. Scotland   
James Glass 20, ship's carpenter b. Scotland

Address: Finiston Horroch St, Barony, Glasgow.


Having exhausted the wildcard searches for his death in R & C, I had a thought re poor relief records for wife Ann. I have no idea whether she was a registered pauper, receiving funds. If so, I wonder what, if any, poor relief application records there may be for her for that period in Urquhart?

Gadget here on RootsChat has a wealth of knowledge on R & C, I'll ask her to see if she can provide any pointers  Smiley

Hi Monica,
Thanks again,I will begin absorbing that lot  Cheesy  And compare with what I have.
Your last post revived memories of another of my time consuming searches,that of James Glass 20 .That Census is his one and only mention I have ever found.

Hi Monica,
Well,spent most of the day sorting through your info and spent a few more dollars with SP.
All worked out well,thank you  Kiss
The 1851 Census with Catherine McKenzie created the Catherine/Margaret problem again  Roll Eyes (No birth for a Catherine to Ann,only a Margaret)Ann Mitchell is the result of a birth with parents Catherine McKenzie and Peter Mitchel
With the Catherine and Donald McGregor/Grigor,they have two children under this surname as well William 1811,John 1812 , John was a witness on Catherine's DC
