Thank you dear

I have just bought Sarah's birth cert from SP as you advised.

The file to too big so I had to cut it to post here but there are more people on the page and I will post about them soon in another post so people can have a copy :)

The details on their children matches well with the family's 1861 entry, with two girls born before Sarah. Just for background here:

Mary Mcfadyen 35 b. Ireland
Margaret Mcfadyen 14 Wool Spinner b. Ireland
Mary Jane Mcfadyen 10 b. Ireland
Sarah Mcfadyen 5 b. Ireland
Andrew Mcfadyen 3
Isabella Mcfadyen 5 Months

Address: 62 King St, Tradeston, Glasgow/Govan

1871, Mary a widow possibly:

Mary Mcfadgen 40 b. Ireland, c tyrone
Mary Mcfadgen 19 Cotton Weaver b. Ireland, c tyrone
Sarah Mcfadgen 15  Cotton Weaver b Glasgow
Isabella Mcfadgen 9 b. Glasgow
John Mcfadgen 7 b Glasgow

If the marriage took place 1845 in Portglenone the online records only start 1864 (with nothing showing elsewhere earlier) but 1845 Greenlough marriages are on pay site- however, I suspect records might show little detail-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Again thank you guys for all of your help and advice. It is so much appreciated by this newbie.
Both census' seem to match well but I can find no death of Felix in Glasgow, or Scotland between these census'
Now how unusual would that be do you think?
Maybe he died abroad in a war? Do all soldiers who are killed in action and missing in action end up getting a death certificate of some kind? If he falls in the Clyde say and body is not recovered is there some Way that would be documented? It just seems strange. Also could I ask where did you view all this info of the both census' please somI can get ancopy of them.

Bless you all 😘

Closest but with area & age difference (transcription error maybe)?

If age 32 is an error for 52 this could almost fit but the area is a ?

I found a birth for a Felix in 1873 in Helensburgh just outside Glasgow. I'm wondering if this Felix death age could be an error and should read  2 and not 32 or 52?
Do you think from what you see of the death that this might be so?
