Hi Barbara

I found Mary, mother, death cert in 1886, aged 55.

She shows as first married to a Joseph Inglis, a rope spinner, and then to John Mallachin, shoe maker. Parents Alexander, a cooper by trade, and mother Mary Fraser.

Husband John Mallachin reported the death. Address as we had on the censuses, 4 Niddry Street.

I wish we could find a definitive link for Margaret to this family.

Still struggling to find birth regs for children. Possible entry for Helen (Ellen) as illegitimate on 08 FEB 1866 (from IGI) with only mother showing as Mary Grant.

I haven't looked at the actual image on SP but entry looks likely for a marriage between a John Malaghan and a Mary Grant in 1875 in Canongate.

So, if John and Mary were already living together from potentially 1861 to Mary's death, I wonder if children's birth entries would show under Grant and therefore illegitimate (father would have to attend the birth registration for the entry to show under his surname - not uncommon either).

My goodness you have worked quickly.  I wish I could find things so quick ( might help if I knew where to look.)  On the marriage of Mary to Joseph Inglis, on 1881 census there is a John Inglis aged 4 who is down as grandson.  I was wondering where he came from, now I know.

I am forever in your debt for all the information you have dug up for me.  I was beginning to think I may never trace my grandads mothers family as he had no father on his birth cert. I have only his mothers to find.

Have you ever found Margaret's daughter, Mary Ellen's birth entry? I know she shows as born c. 1902 but I saw this entry and wondered whether it might be hers:

1901 2nd Qrt Mary Millican, Gateshead 10a/1084

I thought it might help you narrow down where Margaret and Charles were for 1901, if it is the right one  :)

Sister Ellen for the Margaret family we have back in Edinburgh was on to her second marriage by 1901. She shows with her daughters in Edinburgh, occupation tobacco spinner which I thought might have some connections with what your Margaret was doing in the late 1890s.

No, I have not tracked sown the birth record for Mary Ellen but will e-mail Gateshead Register office to see if this Mary has got a mother Margaret and if she has will send for certificate.

Hi again, I have e-mailed Gateshead register office last night and received an answer today but unfortunately the record we thought was Mary Ellen did not have the mother as Margaret so back to square one.

I'm again beginning to think Charles (grandad) must be a figment of my imagination.  He's certainly giving me the run around.
