Title: Margaret McGonigle
Post by: gerrycass on Saturday 10 March 18 20:36 GMT (UK)
Hi looking for information on the birth in Scotland of Margaret McGonigle. She got married in Ireland 1941 but i have been informed that she was born in Scotland around 1913. Her fathers name was William from her marriage record. I have done a quick search in scottishpeople but no luck. Her parents i was told married in Derry/Lderry but not 100%. Her daughter thought she was born in Dunfermline

As the Dunfermline PofB and date are only approximates, did you check ~

Maggie McGonigle, Possilpark, 1913

Margaret McGonigle, Govan,  1919

Margaret Sarah McGonigle, Paisley, 1920

There's no Margaret McGonigle or variants born in Fife 1900-1920

Who did she marry in Ireland as I can only see two marriages in Ireland
One in 1938 and one in 1940
One to a Joseph McLaughlin and in 1940 to a John Gallagher

Do you have her mother's maiden name?

I did check there initially, capricorn, which was why I looked further afield, initially in Dunbartonshire. Her daughter probably mis-remembered.

Gadget.

Added - neither of the marriages that you mention have her with a father called William.

Just been looking at the birth cert again on a bigger machine - a couple of slightly wrong dates -

Birth date was June 2 1913 and parents' marriage was January 3 1899.

Gadget many thanks for your help, i had some credits left with scotish people so was able to get copy of her birth cert. Her son who is a friend was shocked with her birth date as they thought it was late June 1913.

once again many thanks for locating her birth record

The parents 1899 marriage record should be available for free at https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp , albeit I am not seeing it yet.

Ah, found it! It was on 4th Jan, and William's surname has been mistranscrbed as 'McNulty' (there is an actual William McNulty marriage further down same page), albeit the record is clearly 'McGonagle'. He gave his address at time as Moville, which was in County Donegal and she as Waterside, which was Londonderry.

I've reported his surname error, so hopefully it will be corrected at some stage.
