MCCARROLL'S AND MCGHEE'S OF HAMILTON LANARKSHIRE

[paul_mc]

Hi Everyone

I'm looking for some fresh help if possible.

I'm really struggling to get much information on my dads fathers side of the family.

My dads grandparents were James McCarroll (1865-1938)  and Catherine Nelson (1876 - 1949). Both were from Stevenson in Ayrshire. They eventually moved to Hamilton, Lanarkshire and started a family

I have the children listed here

Catherine McCarroll (1897 - 1981) - Married a Hugh McGhee - I'm trying to locate their children.

Margaret McCarroll (1902 - 1948) married a Richard Brown - I'm again trying to get any evidence of the wedding and any children.

Mary McCarroll (B1903 - ?) I have nothing on her

Bernard McCarroll (1906 - ?) Married a Grace Duffy - I have no other information

James McCarroll (1908 - 1990) I DO NOT need any information on him as he was my grandfather

Elizabeth McCarroll (1911 - 1960) I know nothing about her

Willaim Mccarroll (1914 - 1991) Married Mary Stewart and had one son D Mccarroll

Can anyone please help me?

Hi

This is the type of info you will only find using Scotlands People  www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  which is a pay per view site

Unfortunately - there is no parent search facility and whilst there may not be a lot of McGhee's - there will certainly be a very large number of Browns

The marriage of Margaret & Richard probably didn't take place until 1920 or later and the same with any marriages for the other children born in the early 1900's so if they married before 1938, the images can be downloaded

The free SP index shows only one marriage between a Bernard McCarroll & Grace Duffy and it was between 1935-1940

Thanks Carol

How do you access the free index?

If you register for free on SP, you can do some general searches and then just see if anything shows at all on the search results. You can't view them, you just see if anything shows up.

Paul, are you based in Lanarkshire? You are trying to do descendant research for a period that is not available online due to data protection etc. You can do more update research on BMDs at one of the main genealogy centres. For the details you are looking for, from what you detail, this is what you need and are looking for...

Paul, you need to take yourself to the Registrar's section in the Family History department in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. You will need to pay 315 for a day's access to the statutory registers of births, deaths and marriages, but once you have done that you should be able to access all the information you are looking for, assuming that the people involved all stayed in Scotland. You will need to book - check with the library before you go.
