Hi Gadget & Sandblown, unfortunately not, it just says Sawerin - & I've just realised its "Sawer in" Port Glasgow  ;D ;D !! It just looks like it is one word!

Thankyou both for your help.

I just need to try and find an illusive marriage record now..

Cheers P

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Deciphering a stated occupation
« on: Thursday 10 June 21 09:14 BST (UK)  »
Good Morning, im wondering if anybody can recognise this occupation?  I cannot quite work out the full spelling of the job.  At the time my relative live in Port Glasgow, Scotland.  I think the job is Sawerin, but have no idea what that is, and even searching google isn't coming up with anything.

Many thanks,

Perry

Hi Colin & GR,

Yes that is their children, TBH I cannot remember exactly how I got to Neil & Florence's years of birth (I think it might have been from a census sheet though).  I did read on their son John McDougall's baptism record from 1766 that they are "of Port Glasgow".  It does show Florence as his spouse, even though she is still recorded as McPherson. I also states "had a lawful son".  So I have assumed from that they are married?   - I'm not sure now where to go to dig deeper :(

Many thanks to you both for looking at this for me.

Best wishes P

Lanarkshire / Neil McDougall (b 1734) & Florence McPherson (1738)

Hey everybody.  After a period of time away from ancestry, I've decided to start again.  I've tried in the past to find marriage details for my 6x Great Grandparents (I have their children's info) and would really like to find records for their parents (esp the McDougall line).  The last time I'd look I'd come to a grinding halt & appeared to have exhausted the online info.  Neil was born in 1734 in Glasgow & Florence in 1738.

I'd be extremely appreciative if somebody can point me in the right direction to unlock this puzzle.

Many thanks

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Parish Records Macclesfield 1811 - 15
« on: Saturday 18 October 14 13:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Does anybody have visibility of Parish Records for Macclesfield between 1811 and around 1817.  I am looking for the children of Joseph Mason and Hannah Broadhurst (married Astbury 15/09/1811).  I have found 1 on FamSearch, Thomas born 1812, but I cannot find any other children listed in the normal places I have access to.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Perry

The Common Room / Re: Birth Record
« on: Monday 29 September 14 22:29 BST (UK)  »
No sign of him in hull, there are a couple of Philip masons in the Stockport area in 41 but i cant prove either way. Like Mary Stretford, I cannot find a birth record for him either or record of parents as its 2 neighbours from Brinnington that are the witnesses on the marriage Cert.  He was a cotton spinner. The 61 census shows 2 Philip Masons in stockport, one married to a Catherine and had another family. showing as a landlord very close to another Mill. The other if i recall correctly is listed alone as a labourer again in a multi occupancy house.  My theory is Mary died in 1850, Joseph was placed in the hull poorhouse, Philip remarried and had a second family with Catherine. but its just a theory :(
