Renfrewshire / McDonald Family, Paisley
« on: Friday 24 July 09 01:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Having problems finding any record of William McDonald's birth in Paisley about 1830 and any record of his marriage to Mary Wilson also in Paisley in 1854. His death cert. from 1872 gives his parents as Angus McDonald and Janet Fairlie but I have been unable to find records for them either.
Accord to the census' 1861 and 1871 William worked in a soap work and lived in New Sneddon.

Can anyone help?

]Thanks folks for your help. Would appear that ALL of the women registered there were employed as bleachfield workers, (12 year old and 72 year old included). Does sound like it was some sort of hostel for women working in the area, perhaps related to Paisley Mills?  I can't find the record on 'Scotlands People' but on ancestry.co.uk it is called Causeyend Woman House,rather than Causeyside. Not sure how I would go about posting the record here, can I do this? I found it under Mary Ann McNeil, born 1862 in Irvine, father John McNeil, mother Helen Watters. I will contact the local history people at Paisley for further info. Thanks again. Rosie[/color]

Anyone have any info on the location of this house, who lived there, why? and who ran it.? I have just found 2 of my grandmothers' sisters living there in the 1881 census for Paisley, Parish Paisley Abbey, aged 15 and 19. Both are occupied as bleachfield workers. There are around 60 female residents listed, ages ranging from12-72.

Thanks Shane for the info.

Unfortunately I have been unable to locate Bernard Waters on the Meath site, probably I am looking in the wrong place, I have all his family, (my family) on the Scottish census including his death cert. in Renfrewshire in Scotland age 80 years. I would just love to find out where he was born and where he married my great gran Helen Riley. Hope I inherited their genes!

Thanks again for taking the time.

Any info please on Bernard Watters, born around 1810, son of Denis Watters, (schoolmaster) and Agnes Murphy, and spouse of Mary Riley daughter of Patrick Riley, born also around 1810.  Oral family history tells of them meeting on the bridge between Blacklion, (Cavan) and Belcoo, (Fermanagh). Their first child was born in ayrshire in Scotland in 1839 but don't know if they got married in Ireland before coming to Scotland.

Thanks

Any info. please on John McNeil and Mary McIsaac, from St Quivox, (he may have been a tailor).  According to the LDS. info they had three children, Alexander, born 1809, Helen,1812 and Christian 1814. John and Mary may be on the 1841 scotland census but can't find any of their family on Scotlands people.  Would appreciate any info. Thanks, Rosie

This is probably a long shot Mercel but who knows? Michael Devlin, son of John and Ellen Devlin came to Greenock in the 1870's from Coal island in co. Tyrone. Ireland.  As far as I know his two brothers, Patrick and John stayed on to work on their father John's farm. John would have been been born in the 1830's. Your ancestor Patrick just might have been related, maybe even a brother!

I take it Daddy Patrick Devlin and Mary Ann returned to Durham?

Happy searching

No, I do not have this information and  thank you so much for giving us another root in our family tree.  I did actually visit this churchyard a few months ago but didn't exactly know who I was looking for and didn't find anyone. I will go back soon.

Looks like Charlottes parents outlived both her and husband Alexander. Wonder what happened to them?

Thanks again

Rosie
