Agnes McIntyre.( my great aunt) married Graham McGookin both born in the Dumbarton area 1880s. They emigrated to New Jersey circa 1912 and lived in Camden.
Agnes outlived Graham and died in 1973.
I would appreciate any information from any members of the McIntyre and McGookin families, in order to fill in the gaps of knowledge about my family.
My grandfather was John Campbell McIntyre. He moved to Birkenhead to work in Cammell Laird shipyard before W.W.1. Sadly he died in 1929 and we lost contact with his side of the family.

SP shows Graham was born 1884 but I can't see a marriage in Scotland for him and Agnes
His parents were Graham McGookin and Joan Calderhead Miller who married in 1882. Graham died 1920 Bonhill aged 64. Joan died 1930 aged 73

So people don't duplicate what was previously found, there have been multiple other threads about this family that are linked to in this thread: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=779909.0
A record from Trinity Episcopal Church of Camden, New Jersey has Agnes & Graham marrying on 25 Dec. 1912. Graham's parents were listed as Gray MacGookin and Joan Miller, and Agnes' parents were listed as John Macintyre and Catherine Campbell. Agnes is listed on this bride's index - https://archive.org/details/NJ_Marriage_Index_Brides_1910-1914_M-Q
