World War One / Help identify uniforms
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 00:55 GMT (UK)  »
My family have found 2 pictures which we believe are from around the time of WW1. Is there anything anyone can help me with in how to confirm the period? Authentic uniforms? Regiment?

The generation that it's believed pics are of I can't find any service records for 1 brother and the other was living in Canada at the outbreak of the war and served with the Canadian Forces.

Any help much appreciated.

Lanarkshire / Quarries around Glasgow 1860s?
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 17:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My GGG Grandfather lived in Springburn around 1860-1880 and on the limited info we have found about him he was noted as being a Quarry Labourer.

Is there any info about where he may likely have been employed around that time?

Down / Help! Harrison/McGuire wedding/info c 1840-1865
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 14:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking to trace a marriage or any info relating to my GGG Grandparents William McGuire (Maguire) and Elizabeth Harrison.

They moved to Glasgow some time around 1860s and had a son, also William born around 1862.

By time William jnr was married in 1885 to Mary Dailey, his father was deceased. His mother appears on a census in 1881 in Glasgow, widowed, and with her sister Mary (Kelly).

Each census has only given the very helpful 'Ireland' as places of birth.

Elizabeth Harrison appears in Glasgow in 1881 and 1901 census with birth around 1843 to 1847. William jnr is also noted as being born in Glasgow 1862 however so far searches have not confirmed this on ScotlandsPeople or elsewhere.

One possibility we have found is a marriage in the parish of Ballyculter and Ballee in September 1853 of Mary Harrison and Charles Kelly - who may be the sister and brother in law of Elizabeth from other census around Glasgow. The same source in Co Down does not have any Maguire/Harrison combinations.

Does anyone have any ideas or additional places to check as I have almost exhausted all searches on Ancestry and FindMyPast.

Thanks in advance, Paul McGuire

Armed Forces / Ionian Islands 1860s - help needed
« on: Wednesday 17 May 17 00:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking to research one branch of my family and have came across one family comp that seems to have travelled around between 1850 and 1870 with three children born in Ionian Islands, India and Suez.

I can only assume that the father, John Dailey was in the military and these were his postings with his wife Margaret (McNamee).

The first of the children born overseas was my Great-Great Grandmother MARY DAILEY who is noted on a later census in Glasgow as being born around 1861 in Kefalonia, Ionian Islands.

I have found a couple of sites with both civil and military births in Ionian Islands but cannot find an entry for her... any ideas where to go next??

Many thanks
