Samuel Alexander and Bridget Kilday
« on: Sunday 15 September 13 18:36 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Bridget Kilday, b 1864 Dunbeth,Kirkintilloch,married Samuel Alexander (I do not know his date of birth) and had a son named Samuel Alexander b 1890 in Dunbeth,Kirkintilloch. Found them on the 1911 census in Govan with Father Samuel deceased and the birthplace of Bridget and son listed. Bridget is deceased before 1916. I am looking for the family in Dunbeth, Kirkintilloch.

Any help much appreciated,

Francesca

When and where did Samuel & Bridget marry as I can't see anything on Scotlands People between 1871-1891

Hiya Francesca,

Family search has an entry for a Saml Kilday Alexander aged 1 at Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire on the 1891 Census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KSF5-4K3

I can't find this child on Scotland's People 1891 Census ???

Also on Familysearch - Bridget Kilday aged 27 at Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire  - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KSF5-4K9
This entry can be found and viewed on Scotland's People.

Looby :)

Samuel is transcribed as Janet Kilday Alexander in 1891

Janet Alexander 34 but "she" is a pit sinker ???  b Ireland
Bridget Kilday 27 housekeeper b Kirkintilloch
Charles Kilday 5 b Kirkintilloch
Janet Kilday Alexander 1 b Kirkintilloch
Kirkintilloch ED 2 Page 16 Line 11

Doesn't look like she ever married Samuel.  Charles was probably her illegitimate son by another man and Samuel born to her relationship with Samuel Alexander

Hi and thank you,

That is something I am unsure about. Bridget is listed as Widow on the 1911 census (Scotland's people). I have tried to search Govan,Lanark for possible marriage around birth of son as they were living there on the 1911 census but found nothing on Scotland's People. The 1911 census has Dunbeth,Kirkintilloch as mother and sons birthplace so i thought that they may have married around the birth of their son in Dunbeth,Kirkintilloch. On the Census she is 47 and Samuel is 21.

On the marriage cert of his son he is listed as a Iron Foundry Labourer.

Lobby and CaroleW thank you and that is interesting, I was having a difficult time finding Samuel so this would explain alot. I really appreciate the help.

Charles birth is on SP in 1885 under Kilday.  Samuel was also registered as Kilday in 1890 - not as Alexander

Might be worthwhile looking at both birth certs

Thanks CaroleW :),

I have the birth certificate for Samuel Kilday. He is listed as illegitimate child of Bridget Kilday Housekeeper. Why would Samuel use the Alexander surname? as he is Illegitimate on the birth certificate?

Also, I am having trouble deciphering where he was born. Blar Place Close?

Charles is illegitimate. Bridget Kilday is listed as his Mother. Again, a little trouble deciphering birthplace and her occupation. I need my glasses! ;D
