 :-\ With the 75 yrs rule, it is 1941 marriages that will be generally released online at the end of this year...not 1942, sorry. Sunday night and brain needs sleep now!

Wondered whether searching for Isabella's death using mother's name might show something? Isabella's mother, Margaret? Father Charles Moore? What was the mother's maiden name?

So Skirl will have to wait till the end of 2017 for her 1942 marriage ....  :(

Are the records viewable in person at New Register House?

If they are, maybe someone would be willing to do a lookup.  :-\

All these records are available to look up in person at one of the Scottish genealogy centres.

Wondered whether contacting the Clydebank Heritage Centre www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/libraries/archives-family-history/clydebank-heritage-centre/ to ask whether someone could look up the Valuation Rolls c. 1946 at that address could help?

PS: I think Isabella's mother was a Margaret Robinson http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/42150756/person/19940905437/facts  Tried searching deaths for Isabella with that mother's maiden name but couldn't easily see anything...

That's hopeful news for Skirl. It would be frustrating to have to wait another whole year.  :)

Added: Monica, that Ancestry link just leads to a sign in page I'm afraid.

Ruskie, I clicked on the link that Monica gave and it went straight to the

tree for Charles Moore :) perhaps a temporary glitch ;)

Thanks to everyone who added to the thread. Isabella Moore's parents were Charles Moore & Margaret [nee Robinson] Moore. I checked the marriage records for Ireland & it looks like Isabella was not married in Ireland.

Not relevant to your search but worth thinking about.

My family are also from Donegal and a huge number of them worked in the Clydebank shipyards.

Every single woman and child from my family were evacuated back to their home parishes during the Clydebank Blitz

I have found Isabella's death, though the details of her parents are incorrect. She died on 5th July 1946 at 8 Edward Street, Clydebank age 46. She was married to William Scott, Brass Furnaceman ( this marriage took place in 1924 at Old or West Kilpatrick). Her parents on the death cert are James Moore, Farmer ( dec'd) and Emily Moore afterwards Stafford ( that bit is correct) m/s McGuinness. Hopefully the marriage cert will have the correct parents on it. She died from Myocardial Degeneration and Chronic Bronchitis. The informant was her husband William.

That is a great find, Isobel  :)

skirl, I think the 1924 marriage is one that Ruskie mentioned earlier. Is this one of the marriages you looked at?
