Wexford / Re: Margaret Dunn who are the real parents ?

Wexflyer

Yes Margaret's first husband was tragically killed in a shipbuilding accident at work in Glasgow 1875.

I was wondering if there was the possibility of Margarets parents on the census died when she was just a young child and taken in by family or whoever John Dunne and Margaret Elliot were...I haven't managed to find records on them to see if further census records etc mention Margaret staying with them. and perhaps she thought of them as her parents as they looked after her??? just a thought

Scotmum &  Kiltaglassan

Thanks for that " in the midst of winters" it was very interesting and Yes you could be right that could definitely say dr Winter on the census extract I saw "Agher," was mentioned and i did see that scribbled on the census too...so you could have connected soe of the dots so to speak  ;D
thanks again for taking the time to research and reply its appreciated

Hi Sinann & Gaffy
thanks for taking the time to try and help me.

re the marriage record  the marriage  of Edward Dunn and Mary Ann Fay ;D thanks for that

I thought the wee scribbles etc could be of use thats on the census extract but I've not been able to fathom what they mean...

I wasn't sure if I could post the record on here or not? i did notice on the census extract where it said relationship and  occupation it said gardener/ ? winter

As for her second Marriage Yes I'm 99% sure its the same Margaret Dunn formally Sergeant, Widow

 her death record says
Margaret Hood window of
1st Thomas Sergeant, 
2nd Robert Hood
I'm just confused as to who her parents are???

thanks

Wexford / Margaret Dunn who are the real parents ?
« on: Thursday 03 August 23 12:20 BST (UK)  »
can someone please help me find out who my real 2xgreat grandparents are?

My great Grandmother Margaret Dunn Born abt 1849 Ireland was marred twice.

 1st marriage age 21yrs (11/02/1870) to Thomas Sergeant : parents were : Edward Dunn (land steward) & Mary Ann Dunn m.s Fay

 2nd marriage age 24yrs (28/07/1876) to Robert Hood her parents were ; John Dunne (land steward) & Margaret Dunne .m.s Elliot

on her death certificate parents are John Dunne Land steward & Margaret Dunne m.s Elliot

I also have an extract from census return of 1851 (cen S/22/4) I dont know if this was needed for her pension or something ? its dated 8/10/1920 Parents are listed as Edward Dunn & Mary Ann Fay and the address of the "applicant" is my great grandmothers in Glasgow. theres lots of wee scribbled notes on it too

I also noticed although there was 6 years between those marriages my great grandmother only aged by 3yrs   ;D ;D

I would be most grateful if someone could help solve this riddle please

I still couldn't find anything else on Robert Hood and Elizabeth Watters...then I remembered you've helped before in the past so thought Id give it ago  and BINGO!! after all these years you've solved it and got even further back than i ever dreamed i would on this family....thanks again for all your hard work resolving my 20year old mystery  ;D

Hi Monica & Neale

wow thats a lot of information...I've studied all your findings and after thinking "no" about the Robert Hood family that went to U.S. I think your right, regarding that... just shows you shouldn't right things off too quickly.
 
sorry about the confusion earlier on it was me who picked up wrongly i thought you meant the Robert Hood in the paternity case and Alexander Hoods Son were one in the same but I read it wrongly hence I confused Monica and myself regards the Hurlford and hunterfield i thought you thought they were one in the same . also me clicking on the quote each time i answered i thought i was doing good making the relevant post to te quotes but instead i just caused confussion...as if this isnt all so confusing as it is  lol...you have booth come up trumps for me regarding my great great grandparents ...also the "civil Engineer" i think theres been either its been conjure up in son Roberts imagination or someone has read the info wrong over the years perhaps Coal Engine Keeper or even the place his family lived  called Arniston Engine could have   mistakenly been read as Civil Engineer? I guess well never know for sure . Im as sure as i can be that the info you collated between you is my ancestor so thanks to you both for your time involved in this search I do appreciate it thanks so much .

"Robert natural son of Robert Hood collier Hunterfield, Gorebridge, near Edinburgh...."

I would suggest that this Robert may well lead you to the correct Robert.

His father, Alexander Hood, died in late December 1858 from a mining accident. His burial details here www.findagrave.com/memorial/201564126/alexander-harper-hood

Accident details:

Alexander Hood
Death 2 Dec 1858 Dalkeith, Mid Lothian
Occupation Collier
Colliery Arniston
Owner John Christie
Notes Fall of roof at face of workings. 2 killed.

On father Alexander's death registration, his residence is noted as Hunterfield (as showing in the paternity action against Robert Hood).

Hi Monica
thats looking very interesting indeed where you manage to get your info amazes me everyone on here is so knowledgeable now you said  "his residence is noted as Hunterfield (as showing in the paternity action against Robert Hood)". Huntersfield is in Midlothian and  Hurlford is where the paternity suit Robert was which is a village in East Ayrshire, according to google. so two different places 66miles between them one almost on eastcoast one almost on west coast. btw Ive paid to get the paternity document with more details etc

I've had this one in my "possibles" for a good few months I'm sure this is the area/colliery is quite near Hunterfield, Gorebridge, Midlothian,where the minister wrote where Robert the father came from on the birth record for son Robert Hood .
there is a man who  has written a very good article on the history of coal mining and how the Hood family were greatly involved hes also done a genealogy of the Hoods but he was unsure if at all my Robert was one of them..I'm still studying his findings heres the link if your interested at all Monica

thanks again for that info the cock pen Robert Hood is defo on my possibles list  I appreciate the time youve put into trying to help me solve the Robert Hood problem lol
