Thomas Kirkwood
« on: Tuesday 11 February 14 21:36 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for a Thomas Kirkwood's date of death. He was born around 1826 not sure where, but he married Helen Inglis Cuthell 24/8 1846, Denny, they had a daughter Ellen who was 23 on the 1881 census, Helen the mother was a widow, Helen died 1884, her daughter Ellen was born in Malta. They also had a son James Kirkwood born about 1860, he married Catherine Strang, 1880, Denny. I have searched s/p and census returns, but haven't been successful yet.

Was Thomas a seaman or similar? Is his occupation shown on Helen's death cert or on son James's marriage cert

There are nine family trees on Ancestry for your Thomas Kirkwood.

Added: His birth is given as Denny 1821 and his death as 22 Apr 1861 Malta.
Thomas and Helen appear to have had 5 children, 3 sons and two daughters.
This would have to be verified but it gives you a direction ;)
