McBride
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 23:48 BST (UK) »

Hello,

I'm looking for some help, i'm struggling to find information to help me put together my family tree.
My nanna was called Angela Mcbride and she was born i think in 1932 in or around the clydebank area which is also the area she lived, she married my grandad in february 1950. i believe her mother was called Sally Mcbride, who also had a sister called Elizabeth. Its thought that my nanna had 2 sisters and 2 brothers but they did not all have the same surname and i believe sally was never married.
I am also told that Sally's dad was called George Spears Mcbride.

Despite all this information i'm not sure where i need to go next, and my nanna passed away recently and i'm desperate to find out about my family history.

If anyone has any information that can help me i would really appreciate it.

Might be worth looking for the surname "McBryde"

Hello Laura

Welcome to Rootschat,

What you need to do is sit down with as many copies or originals of birth, marriage, or death certs as you can get and arrange them logically.

The website to use in Scotland is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (referred to as SP)- unfortunately a pay per view site. Free to register and do basic searching.  Minimum spend is £6 

Just been on, and for 20p can only find one Angela McBride born in all of Scotland between 1928 and 1935

1931 Angela MCBRIDE  F Kelvin Glasgow

If you don't have a copy of her cert - which will give her parents names and mothers maiden name you would need to get a copy to confirm the other info you have.  (If she'd been born before 1908 - you'd have been able to download an 'extract' which gives the same info for £1.20 total).

To order a cert will cost I think £10 - but there is another option if you live in Scotland

I'll post my usual message

b  A second option.  A great money saver - Aberdeen Registrars Office (as do many others in Scotland), - has Scottish Birth Marriage and Death (BMD) records online going back to 1855 and up to the present day (for Scotland).  Also have Old parish Records (OPRs).  Charge £15 per hour.  An hour should be more than enough to get a good core of info.  They can be contacted on 01224 522033 or e-mail:  Searchroom@aberdeencity.gov.uk  They're really friendly approachable and professional.  Will save you days and pounds ++ on Scotlands People.

The link below indicates their services:
http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/acci/web/files/rm_registrars/rm_registrars_family_history_leaflet.pdf

b.  www.familysearch.org - The Mormons website.  Also known as IGI.  Worth a try and has free family history software.  IGI, in its various forms, fiche (they still have a use!), CDs (at LDS Family History Centres) has the advantage for Scotland that it overlaps with the Scottish civil registration records.  These started in 1855, but IGI also includes indexes of births and marriages from 1855 to 1875 plus the two census years of 1881 and 1891.  The IGI index for these years is superior to the on-line index at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk in that FamilySearch shows the names of the parents and the date of birth.


Good luck - keep asking   :O
Steve ....

Also have a look in the 'Beginners' section of this site.......

A few seconds on Google brings up the following info for North Lanarkshire searching:

Hi Laura

There is only one George McBride showing on the 1901 census, so happens in Lanarkshire. No idea if he is the right one but I will post the details for you in case it turns out to be the right one. All the children showing as born in Glasgow:

George McBride    36, Gaswork Labourer, b. Ireland
Ellen McBride 34, b. Ireland
William McBride 15
James McBride    13
George McBride    6
David McBride    1

Address:  39 Gairbraid Ave, Maryhill, Lanarkshire

There is no birth of a Sally M*cBr*de (using wildcards for spelling variations) in Scotland for any relevant period but bear in mind that Sally is a variant of Sarah so her birth may have been registered that way.

There is a birth for example of a Sarah:

1910 Sarah MCBRIDE  (KIRK)   F Maryhill, Glasgow

No idea if she connects to the 1901 family but again I have included it in case it does.

There is only one death of a Sally McBride showing in Scotland, with a birth year c. 1946:

2005 Sally Teresa MCBRIDE (MCGINLEY)   F 59 Glasgow City

As Steve suggests, given the period you are initially looking at, where certificates would have to be ordered as they are not available to view on line (due to privacy rules), it would make economic sense to use one of the Registry Office services to do the basic searches for you and transcribe the relevant info. You can then order the correct certificates with full confidence if you require.

Good luck with everything!

Monica

Hello Laura - just trying to clarify the trail

You're saying that your nanna

Angela McBride - born 1831 (with 2 sisters and 2 brothers born Huh also different surnames)

Parents,   Father  Huh McBride
                Mother  Sally McBride  (is this also her maiden name? - or did 2 McBrides marry each other) -               also had a sister Elizabeth.

If Sally had a different maiden name, her father cannot be a George Spears McBride.

A slightly confused Steve  :O)  Either way the previous advice still applies.  Have also sent a pm on SP research.  Keep us posted.

Thank you both very much for the info to get me started i shall have a look into whether we have copies of birth certificates etc at my mums,

Steve, just to clarify to help with the confusion:
My great great grandad was George Spears McBride
My Great Granma was Sally Mcbride, but she never married.

However, i have found out tonight that my nanna's name on her birth certificate was Angela McBride Fury ( although i'm not sure of the correct spelling for it) and because Sally never married i'm at a loss as to how that came about!!

Also just to pick your brains, if thats ok, one of my nanna Angela's brothers was a ship builder and died building the queen mary ship at john brown docks i think, is there somewhere where i can access that info?

Thank you again its much appreciated

Hi Laura

Is this the entry that you have a birth cert. for:

1931 Angela FUREY   F Kelvin, Glasgow      

The other entry that Steve posted was:

1931 Angela MCBRIDE F  Kelvin, Glasgow

Looking at the GROS ref. nos, they look to be for the same birth.

You may find that the name of the father is showing on the birth cert.

Monica

ADDED: Laura, if the name Fury appears on the cert. it means that although her birth was illegitimate, her father acknowledged he was the father and attended the Registrar with her mother to register her birth. Where the father did not attend the Registrar, the mother was unable to add the father's name to the birth registration of her child.

Laura

Luck is on your side  Smiley Sounds like you need a break on your Nana's side....and we may just have found the key to at least some of the history Wink

Sally (Sarah) McBride did marry, twice according to her death cert. She died young, Angela would have been nine in 1940:

1940 Sarah MCBRIDE (MCGHEE FUREY)   F 35 Old or West Kilpatrick, Dunbarton   

According to the certificate, her father was JOHN SPEIRS MCBRIDE, a plumber by trade and mother LOUISA MCPHERSON.

She shows at the time of her death (from cancer of the uterus) as married to John MCGHEE previously married to James FUREY.

There is marriage for Sarah to James Furey:

1921 James FUREY   & Sarah MCBRIDE   Old or West Kilpatrick, Dunbarton   

Sarah was young when she married, 16, according to the cert. So born c. 1905 and as such won't show on the 1901 census. However, her parents married in 1899:

1899 John Spiers MCBRIDE & Louisa MCPHERSON   Bridge of Weir, Renfrew

I can't see a marriage for her to John McGhee but likely this happened after the Scotlands People cut off of 1932. I also can't see an obvious death for James Furey up to 1921- 1940 that matches his age at the time of his marriage.

For any answers to that you will probably have to look at the birth entry for Angela where the names Furey/McBride show. If you are certain her birth was illegitimate, it may be that James Furey had left the home and Angela's father was someone else.  Hopefully, the birth cert may provide some answers. Also, the marriage cert for Sarah to John McGhee which would have to be personally looked up or ordered may also give some relevant info.

This looks to be John McBride and Louisa following their marriage on the 1901 census:

John McBride    32, plumber, b. Ayr, Ayrshire
Louisa McBride    34, b. India
James Conway    25, boarder, b. Bridge of Weir
Address: Robertsons Land, Bridge of Weir, Kilbarchan Renfrewshire

In the 1891 census, this looks to be Louisa with mother Sarah (BAXTER)

Sarah McPherson 52, b. Ireland
Louisa McPherson 25, Printfield Worker, b. India
James McPherson 20, Printfield Worker, b. India
Andrew Hayman    25, lodger, b. Ireland

Address: Renfrew's Land, Houston and Killellan, Renfrewshire

Can't easily see John as yet in 1891.

In 1881, can't easily Louisa in 1881, family may still not have arrived in Scotland?

John McBride is showing as illegitimate on his 1899 marriage cert, born to mother Hannah McBride. I wonder if this could be him:

John McBride 11, boarder b. Ayr
Allan Stuart 30, tailor  b. Ayr
Annie Stuart 25  b. Ayr
Jane Stuart 2  b. Ayr

Address: No 96 Main Street, Ayr


This looks like John's birth entry

JOHN SPIERS MCBRIDE  Birth: 02 MAR 1870  Ayr, Ayr, Scotland
Parents:Mother: HANNAH MCBRIDE

I've got to pop out now back later. Will have a look for John in 1871 if someone doesn't in the meantime.

Great information there, Monica. Smiley

Just some more info for Laura; Louisa died 1950, aged 84. John died three years later in 1953, also aged 84. Both certificates are available to view on ScotlandsPeople.

There's an also a submitted birth on Familysearch (mentioned by Steve earlier) for Louisa; 6th December 1865 Mooltan, West Bengal, India. Parents match marriage certificate.

From the 1871 Census, this looks to be John McBride. The index has him transcribed as McClivie but SP shows MCBRIDE:

George Lindsay    31, carpet weaver, b. Ireland
Jane Lindsay    29, b. Ayr
Maggie C Lindsay4, b. Ayr
John McClivie 1, boarder, b. Ayr
Peter Wharry    12, boarder, b. Ayr
James Diamond    18, boarder, b. Ayr

Address: 38 Fullarton St, Ayr

Well done Hume for finding the Indian IGI info (I always forget just how international IGI is).

These are the children showing to Alexander McPherson and Sarah Baxter on IGI:

1. Margaret Jane McPherson  Christening: 11 DEC 1861 Julundur, , West Bengal, India
2. Louisa McPherson Birth: 06 DEC 1865 <Mooltan, , West Bengal, India>
3. ALEXANDER DAVID Mcpherson Birth: 28 DEC 1867 <Jullundur, , West Bengal, India>

Can't easily see a marriage for Alexander and Sarah but this looks to be her death entry

1912 Sarah MACPHERSON (BAXTER) F 71 Bridge of Weir, Renfrew

Unusual that John isn't with his mother in 1871. I know there isn't any other name on the marriage certificate for her, besides McBride, but I wonder if this is her marriage?

Hannah McBride to Evan Dillon, mar. 4th April 1870 Ayr

Only a month after John's birth, however.

Laura

It would seem from the submitted IGI entries, that someone has already been researching this McPherson (and/or the Baxter line). This looks like a submitted entry for Sarah Baxter's birth:

Sarah Baxter Christening:  22 NOV 1835  Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church, , Antrim, Ireland
Parents:Robert Baxter and Sarah Robinson

And siblings, also all submitted entries:

5. Robert Baxter Christening: 25 NOV 1827 Ballynure, Antrim, Ireland
1. James Baxter  Birth: 18 JUL 1830 Of, Ballyeaston, Antrim, Ireland
2. Henderson Baxter Christening: 14 APR 1833 Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church, , Antrim, Ireland
4. Jane Baxter  Christening: 10 APR 1838 Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church, , Antrim, Ireland
6. Thomas Baxter Christening: 06 JUL 1851 Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland

I would imagine that your great grandmother Sarah McBride was called after Louisa's mother.
