Argyllshire / Re: McKillops of Kilmore and Kilbride
« on: Wednesday 16 May 07 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello again 'DonnieMac',

It's probably of no relevance now but my Mar McKillop of Argyll should be Mary McKillop and not the Margaret you are after.
I believe you have already found her, as Margaret McKillop McColl, via TalkingScot.

Hello 'DonnieMac',

Looked for their deaths on SP to get you started.
Problem with Ann but some possibles for Margaret even though ages don't seem to fit.

Mar (yes Mar) McKillop, mothers maiden surname McArthur, died 1880, age 52 in Kilmore District, Argyll County
Margaret McKillop, mothers maiden surname McArthur, died 1856, age 38 in Glasgow City.

Hope you strike it lucky with one of them.

PS Viewers should note that the initial posting has been repeated on the Talking Scot website. I mention this to help avoid possible duplication of effort.

Ross & Cromarty / Re: Johanna McKay, Achnahannat, Kincardine Parish 1814 to ?

Hello 'hume24',

Well done - I'm quite happy that you found her.
I note her age in 1896 is 72 years suggesting 1824 birth year. So her own son managed to get her age wrong by about 10 years which today seems barely credible.
My search was 1814 +/- 5 years and I thought I was being overcautious even at that.
A leason learned.

Hello again 'ajjbc',

This question is in a similar vein to your Inverness posting today. It is also too open - ended where people will be unsure as to what, and how much, you want to know.
Again I have no connection with this person but hope this is of some help -

Catherine Dearness (note spelling) born in 1864 in Birsay District of Orkney.

Inverness / Re: WILSON,LINDSAY H. born c1866 Paisley,Inverness

Hello 'ajjbc' in Canada,

I have no connection with your Lindsay Wilson but I think you will find that she was born in 1862 in Abbey District (of Paisley Burgh) in Renfrewshire. There is no place called Paisley in Inverness-shire so I assume that is a mistranscription.
I'm not sure from your posting as to precisely what you are after so I hope this helps.
You can download her birth certificate at scotlandspeople.gov.uk which is a pay per view site.

Good luck

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Madden of Articlave nr Coleraine, NI

Hello 'kintree' and 'aghadowey'.

It's amazing - a posting can lie dormant for nearly a year and suddenly burst into life. I am grateful for everyone's suggestions and for taking the trouble to respond.

kintree,
We meet again.
I am not a rookie at this game but the suggestion that I should ask someone to check the 1901 and 1911 census, at no financial cost to themselves, is something that I thought could not be done. I am not aware of a facility on the Ireland site that carries out look-ups. Any requests for look-ups that I have noted seem to go unanswered anyway. As for look-ups on the 1911 census I was not aware that this was even a possibility.
I presume that I have got it all wrong.

aghadowey,
Thanks very much for the Madden/ Boyce info. which follows from your previous post. As I said before I have not entirely ruled them out as possibles. Kintree's suggestion that Annie may have been married more than once has not escaped me either and may be part of the confusion on so called 'maiden surnames'.

Hello 'Christopher' and 'aghadowey',

You guys have taken me by surprise and I must thank you both for keeping me in mind. It's nearly a year since my last posting on the Maddens and I must admit that I had largely given up on Irish research because of them.

Christopher
I have looked at the Emerald Ancestors site following a tip-off by a fellow rootschatter. However, I failed to find my Andrew Madden. I may have missed something but following your prompting I will have another go.

aghadowey,
The possibility of the Andrew Madden/ Annie Boyce marriage in Coleraine in 1884 being the marriage that I'm after has crossed my mind purely because it is the only marriage of an Andrew that I can find. However I already have my Annie Madden, maiden surname Kyle or  Vance, from actual birth and marriage certificates of her son John.
The possibility that my maiden surnames are Kyle, Vance or Boyce seems unlikely but, as we all learn, not impossible.
Even if I saw the Madden/Boyce marriage certificate I could not be certain that they were the correct couple. I do not have any knowledge of my Maddens  parents.

Thanks again for taking the trouble to help. I will have another think about where I go next.

Hello 'dolly dimples',

Scotlandspeople (SP) has two Helen Martin deaths, around the correct age, in Dumfries County between 1901-1956. Both turn out to be in Dumfries District. You say that you have already searched for her death on SP so I assume that you have you dismissed them.
I have not paid to look at the records but one is in 1929, age 80 and the other is in 1932, age 82.
