McGougan/McGugan family Lochgilphead

[hayleydoyle]

Hi again
I received a rescan from Scotlansds People though not much clearer. I think the surnmae is McCarte...can't make out the rest
I found a listing for Neil McGugan married to Catherine McArther...wonnder if this is a spelling error on the marriage certificate...McCarther

Listing also shows a daughter Isabell born in Inverarey in 1867....time and place kinda match the census for Margaret born in Inverarey 1861...

what do you think?

Re-scanned image nothing like Gillespie for mother Catherine! So, not the family from Gigha.

I agree, McArthur is likely name (with McCarter and all the variants). There is only one other Neil and Catherine McGougan family, apart from the Gigha family.

These are these children showing on IGI to a John McGougan and Catherine McArthur:

1. MARY MCGOUGAN Birth: 06 SEP 1860 Cumlodden, Argyll
2. DUNCAN MCGOUGAN Birth: 08 OCT 1861 Cumlodden, Argyll
3. SARAH MCGOUGAN Birth: 14 OCT 1863 Cumlodden, Argyll
4. ISABELLA MCGOUGAN  Birth: 21 JAN 1866 Cumlodden, Argyll
5. JOHN MCGOUGAN Birth: 03 FEB 1872 Cumlodden, Argyll

From the 1861 Census:
    
Neil Mcgougan 43, Miner Of Nicol, b. Inverary, Argyleshire
Catherine Mcgougan 26 b. Kilmichael Par, Argyleshire
Catherine Mcgougan 3 b. Kilmichael Par, Argyleshire
Margaret Mcgougan 1 1/2 b. Uist, Inverness-Sh
Mary Mcgougan 7 Months
Duncan Mckellar 50, lodger, tailor b. Kilmichael Par, Argylesh
Mary Mckellar 49
Catherine Mckellar 13
Duncan Mckellar 12

Address: Auchindrain, Cumlodden Argyll

Can't easily see Catherine and Margaret's births on IGI. Parents only look to have married on 14 JUN 1860 Inveraray And Glenaray, Argyll (IGI).

1871 entry for this family:

Niel Mcgugan 52 Labourer In Powder Work
Catherine Mcgugan 36
Margaret Mcgugan 11 b. Uist, North
Mary Mcgugan 10
Duncan Mcgugan 9
Sarah Mcgugan 7
Isabella Mcgugan   5

Address: Achindrain, Cumlodden

Can't easily see Margaret in 1881, but these look to be her parents:

Neil McGugan 61, Powder Maker b. Inveraray
Catherine McGugan 46
John McGugan 9
Alexr Archd McGugan 4
Mary McArthur 70, mother in law b. Dalavich G, Argyllshire

Can't see where the 'farmer' comes in for father Neil  Also Margaret's age seems to jump about a bit. Certainly on her marriage entry, where she stated in 1889 she was 35 which would make her birth year c. 1854 rather than c. 1859/60 (unusual for a woman to add years to her age!).

Found now the 1891 entry for Thomas and Margaret, family transcribed as Erans:

Thos Erans 51 Ship Yard Labourer b. Ireland
Margt Erans 40 b. Inverary
Geo Erans 18 b. Ireland
Thos H Erans 12 b. Ireland
Susan S Erans 6 b. England
Robt J Erans 4 b. Partick

Address: 166 Castlebank St, Partick

What can I say about their ages again 

[hayleydoyle]

this definitely matches. On daughter MArgaret McAdam Evans bith certificate the place of birth is listed as 166------ street Patrick...I couldn't read it...now I can make it out!! Thanks so much

I'm not sure if you are interested when Thomas Evans' died, but I've also been researching the McGugan/McGougan line and found his death certificate on SP during my research.

He died 15th Feb 1919 at 36 Crawford Street, Partick, Glasgow aged 83 years. Occupation: Ship Yard Labourer and Army Pensioner - first wife was Mary Moore and then McGuigan (their spelling - not mine). His parents: Matthew Evans (tailor) and Elizabeth Clark. Witness on the death certificate was R. Evans (son) of 7 Jordan Street, Whitewinch (??) (sorry hard to read)

I agree with Monica that Mary's mother's name was McArthur (spelt as MacArthur on death certificate) and that she died in 1943 in Partick, Glasgow. Her daughter Margaret is witness on the certificate.

Hope this helps.

I'm really stuck on Malcom McGugan (or McGougan) born c1840. It's nearly midnight here in Australia so I'll post some info on this site tomorrow and see if anyone may be able to help.

Thanks that's awesome.....I am having no luck identifying Neil McGugan's parentage...where does your Malcolm fit in?

Hi Hayley

Did you have a look at the image of the 1860 marriage for Neil and wife Catherine McArthur? If so, what were his parents' names?
