trying to find ?

[Kay99]

I presume you haven't found then the marriage??   If the right Mary she must have lied about her age!!

hi kay, no unfortunately the wrong mary...........I am trying to find mary ann colligan born 1844 Ireland, Helen colligan abt 1840 ish and Margaret colligan abt 1847...........their father is definatly William colligan,  their mother agnes or ann, last name sometimes written as hall or hale.   I pick the family up in the 1851 census in Scotland, with these girls older sister born 1835 and brothers born later........but mary ann, Helen and Margaret are missing in that census and in all later census.   a real mystery,    I think, but not sure, Margaret was christened at st margarets in airdire,  think Helen had an illigetimate baby names john in 1858 in shotts,   but just not sure as yet.............I will keep a searching, something is bound to turn up somewhere, with a wee bit of luck

hugs from heather

At least that one is discounted

[heatherwalsh]

I will still keep her info though, as a connection still may pop up somewhere,

How do you know about the 3 girls if you haven't found them on any census?

What are the family transcribed as in 1851 as I can't find the family at all.

hi there, family under cooligan in 1851, collagan in 1861 and colligan 71........have William and agnes marriage from irish roots 1843 in Ireland, same site have mary ann birth 1844, from an old family tree I have Helen so trying to prove her, don't know where she was born, ire or sct.  someone found an old parish record for Margaret being christened in st margets in Airdrie, but they didn't send me the copy.      agnes was married before, her oldest daughter esther, is under cooligan in 1851,  but her father is on her death cert as George Shannon..............trying to proves certain parts and trying to put it all together.........

[heatherwalsh]

it makes it difficult with agnes being a hall or a hale at times as well, she married from memory under ann hall, she died ann cooligan, on births, some she is ann or agnes........very difficult

[heatherwalsh]

seriously, I just found a death on scotlands people 1873 for john colligan born to William and agnes,  then it cut out before I could save it, now its happening again, I have credits for sp, but it wont let me do anything !!!!! grrr, maybe my computer is playing up !!!!! dear me !!!!!

Heather, how do you view images on SP? I think the simplest viewer is Direct Download

If you click on the tab 'My details' www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/users/details.aspx and look towards the bottom of the screen you will see 'Image Viewer'. Check the options and what you have set up. Direct Download as view option seem the most easy and uncomplicated viewing option.

Anything else, we likely need more to try to help. You may need to also email or speak to SP for assistance.
