McGuffie

[mccubbin]

Hello I am looking for anything on Margaret McGuffie, she was born 1835,Glasserton to Jane McCubbin, I have Margaret on the 1841 Census still at Glasserton, also 1851 and 1861 all at Glasserton, I have looked for a death or marriage no luck with that, I even dropped the Mc in her surname, I think she has disappeared.
so any help would be great.
thank you

I have looked for a death or marriage no luck with that,

Have you only looked in Scotland?  She may have moved to England and freebmd has several marriages for that name

[CaroleW]

Have you already ruled out the 1863 marriage on SP to Joseph Thompson?

[mccubbin]

Thank You CaroleW
Yes I have ruled out Joseph Thompson out.
I will have a look on freebmd.
thank you

She is not the 1872 marriage in Wigtown to William Gass.

Trotter's "Galloway Gossip!" has McGuffie/Guffie also familiarly as Guffog/Guffok, real name Mac Ulf-Og.

Age out on this 

MCGUFFOG MARGARET 20
MCCUBBING (mmn)
1861
885/ 14 Glasserton

If, the '0' has been mistranscribed & should be a '6' this would make the birth year c1835 i.e. a better fit?

You could compare the occupation from the 1861 census to that given on the death & hopefully it matches?

Was Margaret's mother alive/deceased in 1861?

This should be confirmed either way on the death?
