Angus (Forfarshire) / Alexander Carr
« on: Wednesday 06 May 20 23:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi, everyone,

I am currently researching the Carr surname in Fife, however, I have hit a brick wall regarding Alexander Carr's parents. According to Alexander's marriage in 1894 to Catherine McLean, he is living in Links, Buckhaven and is a coal miner. It also states that his father is Alexander Carr, a joiner, who is deceased and his mother is Jane Carr m.s. Milne. I can find no marriage record for Alexander & Jane or death records for them either. Similarly, I cannot find a birth record for Alexander Carr, the son. I have searched census records too and, until 1911, Alexander Carr does not appear and gives his birthplace as Locher, Forfarshire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Renfrewshire / Kerr/McCorkindale
« on: Wednesday 22 May 13 12:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for Mary Kerr, daughter of George Kerr and Catherine McCorkindale. Mary married Archibald Wilson in 1897 (both widowed at the time) and her parents are listed as the above. In the 1901 census she gives her birthplace as Glasgow in 1864, but at the time of her marriage she was living at 10 Newark Street, Port Glasgow.

From her previous marriage she had a son, Matthew. Who was born around 1884 in Kilmacolm, unfortunately I haven't been able to get Mary's first husband's name although I believe his surname is Morgan due to her marriage certificate to Archie stating "Mary Kerr or Morgan".

I'm hoping someone can help me with tracking down her first husband and when/where her parents were from. All help is really appreciated!

Fermanagh / McFarland/Gallagher
« on: Monday 13 May 13 13:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,

I am trying to track down my great-grandparents, William McFarland and Rose Gallagher. William was born around 1899 and Rose about 1906. I am not sure of their parents names, although I believe Rose's father could be a Joseph Gallagher. Rose came from "Southern Ireland" (my family aren't too sure where) and William was from Co. Fermanagh (I believe it was Enniskillen), William had a brother named Francis McFarland. Whilst Rose had a sister, Mary (she married a Patrick Callgie?).

William and Rose had seven children that survived after birth (it was said they had lost six/seven children before my grandfather was born). The seven children that survived are: William Joseph, Francis, Bridget, Patrick, Violet, Vincent and Mary. Unfortnuately, my branch has lost contact with the others so I am not able to find out anymore from them.

My grandfather, Joe moved to Scotland sometime in the 1950s, with two of his brothers following. Whilst others moved downwards to England and others stayed in Ireland.

I would be very greatful with any help anyone can offer me.

Thank you
