Buteshire / Howie/Baillie
« on: Saturday 25 August 07 21:04 BST (UK)  »

Looking for info on Margaret Baillie who married Robert Bruce Howie in Glasgow 1889.She is noted on a will dated 1917 with the address of Carlton House, Millport.In the 1881 census for Glasgow Robert Bruce Howie is a watchmaker so he may have still been following that trade.I'm quite sure that Margaret's family came from Cumbrae.

Also does anyone know anything about Joseph Bruce Howie he was a Master Mariner and in the same will is "latterly of Almond Bank, West Bay, Millport".

                          Thanks

Lanarkshire / WILLIAM HOWIE 17?-18?
« on: Saturday 25 August 07 20:31 BST (UK)  »

I'm trying to find birth and death dates for William Howie (my GGGGrandfather).He married a Margaret Merry in Mauchline in 1813, on the OPR he is said to be "of Glasgow",however the first definite record I have in Glasgow is 1828 in the GPD. He continued to be listed until the 1844-45 edition.After this date only his son and grandsons were listed so I assume he died about then.

This may or may not be of help in finding him, he was a Cabinetmaker and Funeral Undertaker trading in Main St in the Gorbals,Glasgow.

Ayrshire / Margaret MERRY/MERRIE

HELP!
          Who were the parents of Margaret Merry who married William Howie on the 27th Aug 1813 in Mauchline Ayrshire? I have some possibles  can anyone help me narrow them down.As I can't find the deaths of Margaret or William I'm unsure of their ages. I assume that William died in Glasgow about 1844-50 as the last entry for him in GPD is 1844-45. He was a Cabinetmaker and Funeral Undertaker.


William and Margaret had one child that I know about JAMES,ch 7th Mar 1819, Abbey, Paisley, Renfrewshire.

  Thanks a million, this sounds very likely. I was pretty sure going by the ages of this couples' children that they were approx. 10years younger than the same generation on the other side of the family who were both born in 1875.

Port Soy, that's a surprise, good job she was born after 1855 'cause I'd never have thought of looking there.

I know that as late as the 1950-60 some relations on the HODGE side were still living in the Alloa area but who or what the family names were I have not a clue.

If I have time is there anything you would like me to look for at Park Circus next week?

 Hi,thanks for your swift reply.I've not got the marriage details yet as I've been concentrating on the other side of the family .But, I've hit a bit of a stone wall there at 1789 so I thought I'd venture forth on this lot.

I'm going to Park Circus next week, hopefully will have a lot more detail after then.

p.s. anyone wanting to visit Park Circus it's very busy- almost a 2 month wait for an appointment

Looking for info on an ALEXANDER HODGE married ISABELLA EMSLIE SLATER about 1910.They had 3 children, JOHN, ALEXANDER and ISABELLA EMSLIE. I know that one child was  born in GREENFELD ST. ALLOA in 1914. The family later moved to Glasgow.The only other thing that I know about this family is that there was an uncle JOHN(whose) who loved to walk, have a dram and was said to "talk the hind legs off a donkey".

Does this ring a bell with anyone
