Lanerick? Peebleshire
« on: Monday 29 June 09 09:18 UTC (UK) »
James McQuade gave his place of birth on the 1911 Wales census as what looks like Lanerick or Lanerich, Peebleshire.  I have looked at a modern map of the area but as it could be a local name and also boundaries may have changed over the years I wondered if anyone could suggest where I should search for his birth, which was c 1850.

(He gave his birth place as Leith on the 1901 census but a trip to the records in Edinburgh drew a blank with that location)

Thanks

Hi Charlotte,

There is a place called Lanark, which sound right, but it's not in Peeblesshire but then Leith is a long way from Peeblesshire too. Is there any way you could send us a snippet of the census image, I know you can't post the whole page but perhaps if we could see the place name we might be able to help.

Hi Charlotte

Looking at IGI most of the Scottish birth entries for McQuade's are shown born in Lanark with only a few exceptions. I tend to agree with Emma that although not in Peebleshire, Lanark is the most likely place of birth.

Not sure if you found the following 1861 Census entry:

1861 Lanchester, Co Durham, Parish of Conside and Knitsley, Ecclesiastical Parish of Benfieldside.
Address: John Street

Residing with Clark family are

John McQuade, Boarder, Marr, M, 40yrs, puddler, bn Ireland
Jane McQuade, Boarder, Marr, F, 34yrs, bn Ireland
Mary McQuade, Boarder, F, 8yrs, scholar, bn Scotland
James McQuade, Boarder, M, 6yrs, bn Scotland
Rose Mcquade, Boarder, F, 2yrs, bn Scotland
Jane Mcquade, Boarder, F, 3mths, bn County Durham

This would give James an approx birth date of 1855 so possiblity it is yours.

Possibility that the family were Roman Catholic and the births recorded with the Catholic church hence not found in the OPR's. Pre 1855 Catholic records are held at National Archives of Scotland.

Hope this helps
