Census Look-up Please CHARLES POLLOCK
« on: Wednesday 19 November 14 21:55 GMT (UK) »
Would someone please look-up a Charles Pollock m  Catherine McKirgan in the 1871/81/91 census for Paisley. I know Charles died in 1895 in Paisley South Workhouse. Catherine was already dead by then.
Also I am looking for Sarah Pollock Walton. That is all I know about her. Her maiden name was Pollock (not the same as the Pollock above) so I am assuming she married someone named Walton. Again she was in the Paisley/Renfrewshire area around late 1800's, 1890-1900. I think she was originally from Ireland.

Thank you for any help you can give.
D.

You must have more info than just her name.  Where did you get her name from?  What is her connection to you?

Have you checked Scotlands People for a Pollock/Walton marriage?

Thank you all so much for the info.
Firstly according to Charles death cert he was born 1831.
All the other census info you have sent me are of the correct family. Thanks.

Now the story about Sarah Pollock Walton is that she had a child to Charles in 1870.... My gt grandmother Sarah Margaret Pollock, whose birth I cannot find in Ireland. So any help there would be great. (S M was married aged 15 in 1885 to James McSheffrey in Coleraine)
Sarah Pollock also had another child to a David King in 1864 .... Mary E. She went to America and married a Wm Kenfoyle. When Sarah Margaret's son emigrated to America he went to "his uncle Wm Kenfoyle" This is where I found Sarah Pollock Walton's name (on their Marriage cert) as being Mary E's mother although in Mary's birth cert she was just Sara Pollock. So in actual fact the two lots of Pollocks  are connected by this illegitimate  child Sarah Margaret but I also feel Charles and Sarah had some kind of family connection. They were both from the same wee clachan near Coleraine in N Ireland as was David King. All very complicated eh!

I have no access to Scotlands People so no I have not searched there.

Hope all this makes  sense and if so any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Doire,
Am I misunderstanding this?
 "Sarah Pollock Walton is that she had a child to Charles in 1870.... My gt grandmother Sarah Margaret Pollock, whose birth I cannot find in Ireland. So any help there would be great. (S M was married aged 15 in 1885 to James McSheffrey in Coleraine)"

Do you mean Charles Pollock from your OP ?

If so, I can't see how he could be the father of a child born in Ireland in 1870

Census info infers that Charles  Pollock moved from Ireland  to Paisley betweeen 1863 and 1868.
Daughter Mary  was born Ireland circa 1863 but his 2nd daughter Catherine was born in Paisley in 1868
This would suggest that he could not be the father of any child born in Ireland in 1870 unless the child was conceived in Scotland?

Doire, nobody has special access to SP. it is only available on a pay to view basis, not a subscription. You can also access it if you go to one of the main genealogy centres in Scotland.

You can register on SP for free. You can do some searches to see whether anything shows, for free once you have registered. It only costs money, via units you buy, to view search results or images from the search results.

What is the source for this? What do you have that places Sarah Pollock Walton in Scotland around this time? What happened to your ggrandmother Sarah Margaret after her young marriage to James McSheffrey. You mention elsewhere their son Robert heading off to his uncle in the US in 1923. Where did the McSheffrey family live after their 1885 marriage?

Hard for people to help without going step by step in their heads, Dorie. Sorry if I ask obvious questions that you have dealt with already. Just not seeing them here now on this post and for people to help further, with new relevant info, they need a summary of where you are at normally...
