Down / James Mulligan Marriage
« on: Wednesday 24 March 21 14:23 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching my Mulligan Family roots from Kilkeel Co Down and found on ancestry someone has lsited James b 1828 marrying Eliza Anne Scarborough in England in 1847 but on County Down  Sites the marriage is shown as being in Ireland.  Some of their children are shown on this tree as being born in County Down. I think the link from this James Mulligan /Eliz Anne Scarborough is an error and after trailing through numerous false links on Ancestry im looking for some assistance. Thanks.

Lanarkshire / Robert Watson married to Isabella Farquar
« on: Thursday 26 October 17 11:38 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to research Robert Watson born in Carwath to in 1878 son of William Watson and Elizabeth McLauchlin. He married Isabella Farquar in Fauldhouse 12/6/1903. They had a son William Watson born 5/3/1904 in fauldhouse. I traced Isabella on the 1911 Census but she and William are living with her father. I  tried to find out Robert had passed away but I couldnt find any death certifcate nor any listed divorce. Robert does not appear on any 1911 Census I could find. Hopefully someone will be able to help locate his whereabouts 1904 onwards.
