Lanarkshire / Completed - 1851 census - please help me find my McMahons
« on: Saturday 22 August 09 22:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've been trying for quite some time to locate James McMahon and his family in the 1851 census, but no luck.  I'm hoping someone else might be able to find what I have missed!

I have found them in the 1841 census as follows:

At Chapel Court, Gorbals
James McMaghen, 35, tailor, born Ireland,
Mary, age 30, born Ireland
Margaret, age 7, born England
Bernard, age 5, born Lanarkshire
James, age 4, born Lanarkshire
Also boarders Ann Stewart 25, and Margaret Stewart 12

By the 1861 census Mary had died, but I have:
35 Old Vennel, Glasgow
James McMahon, age 60, journeyman tailor, born Ireland.

I know from poor relief records that they were living at 80 High Street in 1847/48, and that in 1853 they were living at 100 High Street.

Mary died in 1856 at the City Poorhouse Glasgow.

I would appreciate any help at all with this.

Thanks,
Anne

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / David Davis and Sarah Moses from Spitalfields
« on: Monday 13 October 08 15:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find some more information on David Davis and Sarah Moses, who were married in the Great Synagogue, London, on Feb 5 1806.

David Davis was listed on the marriage as the son of "Jacob Irishman", and Sarah Moses was listed as daughter of "Schwartz Aharon"

 I believe Sarah Moses had a sister Rebecca and a brother Emanuel.

I would love to hear from anyone who is researching these families, or if anyone can advise me on how to find out some more information, that would be great.

Appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Anne

I am trying to make out what the children's names are on this record.  I know James and Pat, but I'm not sure about the other one - it looks like maybe Byrne or Bryene, but I'm not sure  ???  Any ideas please?

Thanks,
Anne

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Clean up needed for a war hero please
« on: Friday 05 September 08 03:01 BST (UK)  »
Can Uncle James be cleaned up please?  This photo was taken in Salonica in June 1945.  James was serving in Greece with the No 1 Bomb Disposal Platoon.  Unfortunately he died a few days before the war ended. 

Would really appreciate whatever can be done with this!

Thanks so much, 
Anne :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Please remove the extra arms!
« on: Saturday 30 August 08 23:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Could this picture of my grandfather (he's the one on the right) be cleaned up please?  There are some scribbles to be removed, and there are a couple of extra arms showing at the bottom.

Also, would anyone have an idea how old he might be here - they are both wearing much the same outfits, I wondered if it might be some kind of uniform.

He died when he was 30 years old, and this is the only known photo of him.

Many thanks in advance
Anne

Isle of Man / Hannah Doris Kelly
« on: Tuesday 05 August 08 01:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has any information on Hannah Doris Kelly, born in the Isle of Man around 1904.

She married a McGovern, and she died in Scotland in 1992, age 88.

According to my mum, her father was the mayor of the Isle of Man at one time, but not sure if this is accuarate or not.

Any information would really be appreciated!

Thanks,
Anne
