Looking for more info on Malcolm- he married Emma Chambers in Essex April 1899- Father -Roderick- deceased

Can anyone tell me more about Malcolm's parents?

Malcolm was in the Royal Navy - crew member on the Larkspur in 1891 Census


Thanks alot
Jila

Hi Jila

There is this possible 1861 entry for Malcolm https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQQH-ZBF

Is there an occupation for Roderick from son's marriage entry that could help more?

You need to view the original image on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ rather that this transcript. I think the transcript in error has Roderick down as Robert, a few more issues too but not many really. Everyone down as born in Lochs except for Catherine:

Robt Murray 44 crofter
Cathaine Murray 42 b . Uig, rossshire
Cathaine Murray 16
Christy Murray 14
Donald Murray 12
Malcolm Murray 9
Marson Murray 6
John Murray 3
Address: North Shawbost, Carloway, R&C

It would likely be a case of seeing which mother from two marriages you have found had a son called Malcolm. You know at least that Roderick and Catherine did have a son Malcolm in the right year range.
