Chrystal of stirling
« on: Sunday 05 November 17 01:22 GMT (UK) »
looking for any family connections to John Gillespie Chrystal 18/2 /1874 • Stirling, Stirling, Scotland
Parents James Chrystal and Elizabeth Telford
I found a Baptism for Agnes Kerr Chrystal 09 Jun 1904 • Stirling, Stirlingshire Parents listed as John Gillespie Chrystal and Agnes Mack Mathieson
ALSO trying to find information on his sister
Margaret Telford Chrystal 27/ 6/1869 Stirling, Stirlingshire
and if there is a connection to a Peter Mckelvie
there is a listing for a child
Elisabeth Mary McKelvie Baptism 17 Jul 1907 • Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland
parents listed as Peter Mckelvie  and Margt J Chrystal
wondering if the J is an error as mum used to speak of her cousin Lizzie and was sure her surname was McKelvie

Hello Tielkeets, welcome to RootsChat

Elisabeth Mary McKelvie Baptism 17 Jul 1907 • Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland
parents listed as Peter Mckelvie  and Margt J Chrystal
wondering if the J is an error as mum used to speak of her cousin Lizzie and was sure her surname was McKelvie
Have you checked the original of her birth certificate to see if the J could be a transcription error?

There is a marriage of Peter McKelvie to Margaret Telfor* Chrystal in Stirling in 1907.

You can view and download images of the originals of both of these certificates at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk at modest cost

*Middle names are often truncated in the index if they are too long to fit into the available space
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Agnes Kerr Crystal was the daughter of John and Agnes Crystal, she was the informant on her dads death certificate under the name of Agnes Parklin and she was married to Henry Parklin.

Margaret Telford Crystal married widower Peter Telford in 1907 and they had a daughter in 1907 Elizabeth Mary Telford who married Michael Collins in 1924, hope this helps.
