Lanarkshire / Re: Old Dalbeth M.I.

Anthony!  Great photos.  Gerry and I are researching the same relatives in Dalbeth - and you're the one that got me started in the first place!  You brought that book over to Toronto for Jackie and I, and I was hooked.  I'll send you a PM.
All the best!

Lanarkshire / Re: 1851 census - please help me find my McMahons
« on: Monday 24 August 09 13:59 BST (UK)  »
Nel,

Thank you so much  :) :)

This is the family for sure!  I don't know why they were in Edinburgh, but it is definitely them.  Patrick, the youngest one mentioned is my husband's great grandfather.  He was listed on the poor records as working in a tobacconists.

I see the 1871 census you mention, and it also looks to be James.  I will check to see if there are any  more marriages for him. 

I haven't been able to find James's death yet either.  Gone through a ton of SP credits, but I think all the variations in spelling have thrown me off.

Thanks again for your help Nel, I appreciate it so much.

Cheers,
Anne

Lanarkshire / Completed - 1851 census - please help me find my McMahons
« on: Saturday 22 August 09 22:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've been trying for quite some time to locate James McMahon and his family in the 1851 census, but no luck.  I'm hoping someone else might be able to find what I have missed!

I have found them in the 1841 census as follows:

At Chapel Court, Gorbals
James McMaghen, 35, tailor, born Ireland,
Mary, age 30, born Ireland
Margaret, age 7, born England
Bernard, age 5, born Lanarkshire
James, age 4, born Lanarkshire
Also boarders Ann Stewart 25, and Margaret Stewart 12

By the 1861 census Mary had died, but I have:
35 Old Vennel, Glasgow
James McMahon, age 60, journeyman tailor, born Ireland.

I know from poor relief records that they were living at 80 High Street in 1847/48, and that in 1853 they were living at 100 High Street.

Mary died in 1856 at the City Poorhouse Glasgow.

I would appreciate any help at all with this.

Thanks,
Anne

Isle of Man / Re: Hannah Doris Kelly

Hi Cherylged,

Good to hear from you - looks like we have a kind of connection!

Hannah Doris Kelly was married to Hugh Francis McGovern, and they had a daughter Hannah.  Hannah and my mum were cousins.  Hugh Francis and my grandfather were brothers. 

I'll send you a pm and maybe we can exchange some information!

Lanarkshire / Re: Prisoners during the census
« on: Tuesday 02 December 08 00:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Gerry,

I know they were sentenced in Glasgow, but I seem to remember that they were imprisoned in Perth.  I thought it might have been on the Trial Papers Outline, but I can't see it.  Maybe it was in one of the newspaper clippings we got.

Anyway, it might be worth a look at the Perth Prison.

Hi Justin,
I don't have Henry's birth yet.  All I have for him are the census returns from 1851 to 1881 in Scotland, where he lists his birthplace as London.  I also have him in the 1891 census, back in London, where he lists his birthplace as Spitalfields.

I also have his second marriage in 1866 to Isabella McAllister, where his parents are listed as David Davis (shipping agent) and Sarah Moses, both deceased.  Henry is listed as being 45 on this certificate.
 
On the census returns he is listed as being an auctioneer, or a furniture dealer.

I don't have his death certificate yet either.

Hope this helps, I know its probably not a lot to go on.

Thanks for your help.
Anne

Dawn, thanks for that link.  I will have a look at it and see if it has any more tips for me.

Justin,
Fortunately for me, they had a son, Henry Davis, who moved to Scotland so it was easier to trace back from the Scottish records. For the marriage of Sarah and David I am relying on the transcripts for the Great Synagogue marriages so far, but this is new ground for me, so I'm not quite sure where to go from here.  Thanks for the link - I will certainly check it out.  Thanks also for the offer to do a few searches - I would really appreciate that!

Cheers,
Anne
