Would it have been very unusual for John and Jane to have had 2 daughters outside of marriage and then marry shortly before her death?

If the daughters were indeed John's this points to
JOHN MCCULLOCH/MARY TIRE as parents and an earlier birth date of 1808?

Thank you. Yes this is the family. Harriet lived until 1903, was living with John according to 1891 census. By 1901 John seems to be boarding with his adopted daughter Jane, but not with Harriet...nursing home?
I would really like to explore John's parentage if I can.

Wow, thank you all for such helpful responses. You have all correctly found the right person. John was married twice, firstly to Jane and then when widowed he married Harriet.

The suggestion about children's names was helpful but I dont think the daughters listed on the census were his as their ages don't tie up with marriage date. Jane was a widow when she married John and I assumed her daughters took his surname. They were Jane and Mary.

Thank you for finding John on the 1861 census. I'm confused why he wasn't listed with Harriet as their sons Sidney J and Walter J had been born by then. John, Harriet and the boys appear together on the 1871 census. He was a servant and later a butler, might he have been a live in servant in 1861?

I dont know how I will know for definite John's birthdate and who his parents were. None of the fathers suggested appear as a coachman in the Scottish census. His father wasn't listed as deceased when he married Jane (1852) and Harriet (1854).

Best wishes

Wigtownshire / John McCulloch

Hello,

I'm researching the McCulloch family line.
I have traced John McCulloch, to London Marylebone in 1852. Further census records suggest he was born circa 1811/12 in Wigtownshire. His marriage certificate says his father was called John and he was a coachman. I've now hit a brick wall. Ive checked census and birth records but can't find a leas. Can anyone help please?

Thank you
Kate

« on: Monday 18 July 11 08:28 BST (UK)  »
Good morning,

I have traced my relative John Mason who was born on 10 April 1797. He was christened on 21 May 1797 at St Peter, Bolton le Moors, Lancs. His parents were Thos. Mason and Mary. I can't find any further records online and would be very grateful if anybody could provide me with any further clues about this line of my family.

Kind regards,
Kate

Dear H

Thank you for your incredibly helpful and quick response. I agree that the records you have found seem correct. I was not previously aware of the website you pointed me to, being a complete novice, and shall use this in my future searches.

Kind regards,
Kate

Somerset Lookup Requests / Bath St James MASON JOHN/ MITCHELL JANE
« on: Sunday 17 July 11 21:00 BST (UK)  »
Good evening,
I am researching my relatives John Mason and Jane Mason (nee Mitchell). Census records indicate that John was born in 1798 in Great Bolton Lancashire and Jane was born in 1806 in Bath, Somerset. John Mason fought in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and married Jane Mitchell in Bath St James on 30 May 1832. The wedding was witnessed by James Burt and Sarah Bagg.

Unfortunately I can't find birth or baptism records for either John or Jane so my search has come to a halt. Could anybody help me please?

Thank you in anticipation.

Kind regards,
Kate
