Not neccesarily Scottish Garrett/Quinn

[Floozy]

Looking for William Garrett and Mary Quinn. Scotland???
Possibly born circa 1800 married circa 1820

On the Death Reg of their 2 sons in Melbourne.

This couple was listed as the parents of John Garrett

and on his brother Robert, Reg: William Garrett and Mary ?

John and Robert where born approx 1822 and 1825
Birth Place Unknown

Robert Married Mary Hay in Govan Lannark Scotland


I have this couple referenced in another Roots thread need to go further in finding them.

As Robert and Mary were married in 1852, you should be able to find each of them separately in the 1851 census, which will tell you where they were born. Garrett isn't that common a surname. Also, have you looked at the original of the marriage entry? It might, for instance, tell you Robert's occupation, which would help to find him in the census.

A search in the Scotland's People index at  for Rob* Gar*t, aged 15 to 25, in the 1851 census, produces two results. To view these, and to view the marriage entry, go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, invest in 30 credits at modest cost, and use 6 to view the marriage and one more to view the 1851 census index. It will then cost you 5 credits each to view the two census listings.

If they were in England, there are various commercial sites where you can view the original census, and quite a lot of transcriptions of varying quality.

Quinn is an Irish name, so there is a possibility that John and Robert were born in Ireland.

FreeCEN(1851 transcription) has a Robt Garret age 21 in Inch Wigtownshire which may be one of the results that Forfarian has found.
His father is Wm Garret but I think this ties in with -

Can't see anything else likely on freeCEN which is far from complete

No. That was why I suggested SP - in particular Govan is incomplete.

Hi Floozy

There is an online tree for a John Stephen Garrett, son of a William G and a Mary Quinn. This John's birth is given later than you show, in 1833 in the Isle of Mann. His marriage in 1858, Victoria to Mary Maughan.

Have you confirmed, from likely their death certs, that both Robert and John, that you have as brothers, both show these parents? When did they arrive in Australia? Can't see any Scottish born children for Robert and wife Mary Hay so likely they left shortly after their marriage for Australia?

Can't see anything that would fit for them as a family in 1841 or 1851 really in Scotland so far...
