Charles CODY/1904-1959/ born Mount Florida, Glasgow)

[dorothycooper]

Im wondering if anyone could help me in the search for my grandparents, my grandmothers name was Catherine Boyer Edwards, born in England, my grandfather was Michael Cody, born in Sligo, Ireland. My grandmother moved to Glasgow, Mount Florida after the death of my grandfather.

My father, Charles Edwards Cody was born in Glasgow 1904 and died 1959 in the village of Kilmaurs, East Ayrshire.

Hi Dorothy

Welcome to RootsChat 

This looks like your grandparents marriage entry on Scotlands People's index:

1898   CODY   MICHAEL   EDWARDS   CATHERINE BOYES   CAMPBELTOWN   /ARGYLL   507/00 0036

The closest I can see on the 1901 census and bearing in mind the place of marriage in 1898 is this entry ( I wonder if Catherine may have been a second wife to Michael?). There are a number of spelling mis-transcriptions which I will leave as are:

Michael Cody    52, Inland Revenue Office Fceiss, b. Ireland
F B Cody    36, b. England
Agnes H Cody    15, b. England
Lousia M Cody    12, b. England
Mnyrid Cody    11, b. England
Frances Cody    10, b. England
Marten Cody    6, b. Campbelton, Argyllshire
Peter M Cody    1, Campbelton, Argyllshire
Augustine Cody    6 mo, Campbelton, Argyllshire
Marie Edwards    24, Hospilal Buree (occupation spll?), sister in law, b. England

Address: Anderston, Campbeltown

Regards.

All certificates are available to view and down load on line at Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

   Thanks for info... I recognise some of the name listed and will visit the site to download more info.

I'm new to this and have been wondering how to get started.

Great help once again.

Dorothy, your grandparents were my great grand parents. My grandfather was Augutine Cody and my father is Charles Cody.
                                                                                                                              If you get this message I would love to hear how you got on.

Best
Liz

Dorothy has not been online since her posts in 2007. Hopefully she will get notification of your post. Sometimes people switch off notifications or change email providers so this is not possible.

Hello,

I was a bit shocked to find this page after googling my grandfather's name during my coffee break.

At first I wasn't sure whether the information was actually connected to my family but there are so many similarities in names and dates that it may well be the case, so unless I am making some embarrassing blunder we are also discussing my family.

Charles Edwards Cody and Margaret Baker Cody (formerly Shields) were my grandparents. Gran passed away 2 years ago after passing the 100 year mark so my access to information, dates and such is very limited (I now live in Indonesia.)

Sadly Aunt Dorothy passed away recently, so it may be left to me to carry the torch in finding out more about our extended family. Thank you for the information  posted here, it is much appreciated.

And if there are any family members out there reading this I would be delighted to hear from you
