Mary McGillivray abt1874 Kilfinnichen, Mull
« on: Thursday 19 October 17 13:11 BST (UK) »
Hoping someone can help The above it proving difficult to find birth details of Mary said to be born Kilfinnichen in 1874 according to Census 1901 and 1910


 I have found her marriage cert  to Donald McClean where her father is name as Neil Mc Gillivray  a ploughman i and mother is  Mary McGillivray deceased in 3 June 1898 in Glasgow

 Also details on her death cert her father is named Neil and Mary 12 Jan 1953 at 79 in Glasgow

I have found a web site Mull genealogy and can find nothing on that Anyone have any other ideas

Have you found her on the 1881 census?  Is her mothers maiden name shown on the marriage cert?

Any marriage for her parents on Scotlands People?  One in 1859 - both surname McGilvray and in Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon

No cant find her on 1881 census

 She did have step brothers and sisters Kate John and Hugh cant find them either but thought possibily to be younger

Yes on Sarah's marriage details in 1898 her mother was a Mary  McGillivray So it could be 1859 marriage I found that marriage of Find my past with no other details available

I did see this 1866 birth index entry https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYR2-RYB  but nothing else for this couple except a possible marriage in 1859 with Mary also showing a maiden name of MCGILVRAY https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTK6-6Z3  You need to look on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, pay to view but costs are reasonable. This will give you the original image of marriage cert to view online

Census entries are not helping either. In 1861 there is a 19yr old Neil McGillvray from Kildalton, argyleshire working as a ploughman in Erskine Renfrewshire.

They are a hard lot to trace through aren't they, Sandra  ::)

I think from what you have found on the censuses and the marriage cert from 1859, that you have very likely the right Neil. Not sign of him after excet that possible 1866 birth from earlier  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYR2-RYB

Cannot see a death for him that could so far on SP.
