Thank you for adding that information for me. It's amazing how you guys and girls can find all this stuff when all I get is a.. Nothing found.
How you all manage it I'll never know.

Thank you all again for the kindness you've all shown.

They never fail to throw in a wobbly one.

Rachael of many names.

1890 Beckett nee Hamilton
1891 and 1893 Beckett nee Downey
1897 and 1906 Becket nee Simpson
1919 Becket nee Simpson
1949 Beckett nee Hamilton again

Is there any other information to pointing to Stuart Beckett as the father of James. Can I find out who he was married to?
Or is he just a possibility?

Thank you again

Thanks Gaffy

"25 year old James Beckett married Agnes 'Neilson' on 18 July 1919 at a Registry Office in Glasgow, his parents were recorded as James Beckett, a labourer and Rachel m.s. Simpson.:

I have a copy of this certificate which is where I got the Simpson name from.

Fantastic so many people are keen to help out with great results when all I could find were blanks.

Thank you for all the replies. Its a lot to take in.  I'll have to sift through them later.

One or two jump out straight away, this being one for sure. The Agnes Neilson was my Great Aunt so we're on the right track.

She married the son of the James and Rachael Simpson I'm looking for. 

Thank you all.
Thank you


That's a bit more information than I had this morning.

Incidentally, what looks like the same James Beckett born in 1893 above (reply #1) was baptised in October 1894 in Ballymoney & Derrykeighan RC parish, a transcript of that baptismal record says that he went on to marry a protestant named Agnes Nelson on 3 March 1920 in St. Saviour's, Govan, Scotland. Does that ring any bells?

Hi all.

I'm looking for help in finding James Becket b 1863 Ireland, and his wife Rachael Simpson, b 1869 Ireland. Two children born in Ireland and two born in Govan, Glasgow. They moved to Govan, Glasgow around 1894/1897.  Family story says they came from Ballymoney, Antrim.
I don't have any other info on James or Rachael.
Thank you
David

The Common Room / Re: Where did he come from

Hi Carole

Thank you

James was 25 when he was married. His father was listed as a labourer. Surname on all was Becket.
I had a look on SP but it gave me nothing using Beckett. I'll try again using various spellings.

Thanks

The Common Room / Where did he come from

Hi All

I have a marriage in July 1919 between James Beckett and Agnes Neilson in Glasgow, Scotland. I have Agnes' details but I cant find anything on James. His father and mother were James Beckett and Rachael Simpson but that's it.  Where do I go from here?  How can I find out where he came from and more information on his parents?

Thanks
Bodach

I tried to let my friend in the USA watch this but it asked her to buy a license. Is there a way to watch it over there?

Thanks
