Dunbartonshire / Isabella Marshall MS Stirling
« on: Sunday 05 March 17 03:58 GMT (UK)  »
I have a death record for my paternal grandmotherx3 age 80 in Kirkintilloch in1895 with parents (both deceased) James Stirling a cotton manufacturer and Janet Martin. I have her marrying David Marshall in Gorbals in 1846 and a birth record for her in 1815. The only Census where I could link her to siblings is 1841 but I can only find a Scots born Isabella Stirling of the right age working in England! I have found a James and Janet Stirling with chidren born 1799 -1810 and another James and Janet with children 1816 - 1829. As I have no idea when James and Janet were born it is hard to look for death certificates to narrow things down - any ideas please

Lanarkshire / Another Murray puzzle
« on: Monday 02 May 16 05:02 BST (UK)  »
A great-great uncle William Murray (another one!) born Airdrie in 1848 married Mary McKinnon born in Balfron Stirlingshire in 1852. Marriage cert from ScotlandsPeople - married on 8 August, 1873 in Govan. Also from ScPe. a birth certificate for Janet Turnbull Murray on 5 May 1874 in Barony. My problem is that in Census for 81, 91 and 1901 (and the correct family I believe) the eldest is Martha born either 73 or 74. I cannot find a matching birth record for her - nor can I find Janet Turnbull Murray in the Census. Janet Turnbull was William's mother and Martha was the name of Mary McKinnon's grandmother and younger sister. What am I missing??

Scotland / MURRAY brick wall
« on: Saturday 09 January 16 00:23 GMT (UK)  »
My ggg grandfather William Murray according to Scottish Census 1861 was born Inveraray Argyllshire in c 1779. He was living with his son John in 1861 and died that same year in Maryhill Lanarkshire. I found his death certificate which names his late spouse as Annie Welsh but unfortunately the certificate lists his parents as 'unknown'. I could not find a William Murray born in Inveraray and there are so many William Murrays that I can't find the right one without some parents names to narrow it down. The same applies to Annie Welsh about whom I know even less! Any ideas? Thanks
