1871 Census Lookup - Margaret GARDEN
« on: Thursday 19 June 14 04:30 BST (UK) »
1881
Registration District: Mearns
Civil Parish: Mearns
County: Renfrewshire
ED: 5
Roll: CSSCT1881_170  Page 3
Address: E. Titwood
James Pollock  58
Eugenie Pollock  24
William J Pollock  2
Margaret Garden  19  Domestic serv  Inverness
Jamsima McLelland   16

I'd like a look up please for the possible matches for Margaret in 1871. That is, if more than one is found I'd like all the households as another occupant may hold the clue to determining it's the Margaret I'm after.

Thanks,

Fred

Fred, do you have anything further on Margaret to help you determine right/wrong entries?

There is this entry for example for a birth https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XYGJ-CMD which then connectes with this entry in 1871:

Alexander Garden 51 retired farmer b. Banff, Banffshire
Eliza Garden 23 wife (ages mistranscribed it seems) b. Inverness
John Garden 23
Emily Garden 19
Maggy Garden 12 b. Inverness
Alexr Garden 10
Colin Garden 8
Henry Garden 1 1/2

Address: 189 So Wellington St, Glasgow/Govan

This was the only entry I could see easily with a reference to an Inverness birth place.

Hello Monica,

Thanks for looking.

That birth record is for the one in my tree so it seems it is probably her in Mearns. I wanted to check that there were not 2x in 1871. She married later in 1881.

John Orr BAIRD & Maggie GARDEN
31 Aug 1881  Blackfriars, Lanark

In the shipping record to Australia her name is Margaret. It seems to alternate.  ::)

Second spouse for Alexander hence the age difference.

Alexander Garden & Eliza Forbes
20 August 1869  Blythswood, Glasgow, Lanark

Death 1902  GARDEN Eliza (FORBES)  Hamilton, Lanark  Age 53

Regards,

Fred
