Renfrewshire / Help with finding a child death but don't have christian name!
« on: Friday 28 March 14 12:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Please could anyone help with finding the death of a child of a Thomas McCall and Isabella McCall (nee Scott).

I have so far found their children Thomas, Jeanie (1916-1919), Winifred, Robert and George.

A second family member has now mentioned vague details of one of their children who died. They had sat on the back of a bus and as it pulled away sharply they cracked their head very hard and died as a result.

I know that it definitely wasn't Thomas (b.1915), Winifred (b.1922), Robert or George (both b.1926) as all reached adulthood and I obtained the death certifcate of Jeanie and her death was as a result of enteritis. 

The timeframe for this would have been from around 1915 to 1935 and thought I might find something on familysearch baptisms 1564 to 1950 but nothing seems to come up past late 1800's.

Would appreciate any help.

I know that Thomas and Jeanie were born in Eaglesham and the others in Glasgow.

Other Countries / Researching family in Argentina

Hi

I would appreciate some pointers for researching family in Argentina, family search only does marriages to 1911 and I need after this date.

Thanks

Thank you this is very useful, however Family Search has their marriage in Calcutta in 1924, so they must have had a couple of spells out in India.

The death cert for Jean is the only way left I think.

The Common Room / Help to find daughter of Anthony Gilchrist McCall and Jean Chisholm Elliot-Scott

Hi

Please could anyone help to find the name/details of the birth of the daughter of the above two people.

I only know of her existence due to the obituary of Anthony Gilchrist McCall O.B.E from May 1978, which says he is survived by his widow and one daughter.

The tricky part is that they have lived in the UK, Germany, India and Rhodesia, before settling back in the UK...

I think this could be a lost cause but if anyone can crack it, its the fine Rootschat folk!  :)
