McDiarmid disappearnces

thyanks isobel
i've just used another 30 credits and not got very far

it is the 1911 census i need to find so i can verify a few names but have been looking mostly under exsact surname
found a possible grandfather george in 1911 with william his son steelworker at clydfield road .could be archbalds father

[brigidmac]

1911 census has all the same family members no extra children

found under Mc\diamond  as you said but think its a mistranscription ;handwriting not too clear

Archibald is aged 41 sarah 40
and children all still at home so this family did stay in Cambuslang after all .(until the later emigrations of george mary and andrew to NZ)

i found a possible death for Sarah the daughter aged26 in 1917

so it's just Elizabeth who i dont know what happened to after marriage maybe need to try some more wild cards there for her death ;her husbandAndrew MacDermid death in 1964 didn't put him as a widower + I've not found the connection with the J.McDiarmid of Borge Crescent who was the informant

[brigidmac]

1911 they are at 30 Main st Cambuslang
Archd is a cutnailmaker
Sarah age40
george age 20 a clerk at steelworks
Sarah 19 a milliner
mary17 an oatcake maker
Elizabeth age 15 can't read her job it looks like B??? girl ..in C??? shop
Andrew 10 at school

Information from Genes Reunited

George mcdiarmid  and his wife Margaret went to new Zealand in1972

His sis Mary Stewart McDiarmid Carmichael and her family also lived there

The brother Andrew is on a ship with wife from NZ to GB in 1960

If Sarah is the one who died in 1918.

 Elizabeth was probably still alive in 1964 I've just looked at her husbands death record and he is listed as married to Elizabeth McDiarmid and the intimate friend who registered death does not have a clear initial but it is definitely a McDiarmid ; I havent found any children for them yet
both families followed the naming traditions closely so I would expect a Malcolm .Archibald and Andrew as first 3 sons and Sarah ,jean elizabeth as daughter names with middle names of Andrews or Kyle

Brigid,

Can you post part of the doc to have the initial deciphered please, with some background to compare?

Annie

[brigidmac]

wish i could ? Am useless at technology in fact it may just be a fancy M with no initial ....
I couldnt even pritn it out from SP to show other eyes

but at least SP keeps all docu's on file so you can access them again without paying

[brigidmac]

SP has a death in 1970 of Elizabeth in cumbuslang the age is 64 which is 10 years out no image available and it costs 12 pounds to order but fairly sure it is her as both spellings give vthat record

[brigidmac]

Have been informed there is a1953 ship record of MR A and Mrs S McDiarmid aged 83 and82 coming back from NZ destination Derbyshire.

Looks like Archibald and Sarah had joined or visited their children in New Zealand

Re illegible initial

Ive now seen Archibald's death cert same informant j.McDiarmid is his nephew

From 1930 valuation rolls I know it is james McDiarmid at 65 Borgie crescent so now know family connection !



Archibald's usual address is given as 8 mill road cumbuslang
