Hello
I wondered if anyone could tell me how I could find out what crime a female relative did in 1897 which caused her to be imprisoned at Greenock and give birth there. The birth was registered by the prison governor. Any help would be most appreciated.

« on: Monday 02 August 10 20:39 BST (UK) »

Hi, this is a very long shot as I very little information. I am looking for Edward Foley who married a Margaret Doyle/Dyal they had a son Patrick around 1844/46 In Ireland, Patrick moved to Greenock Scotland and in 1867 married Agnes Canavan. I am assuming that Edward and family were catholics as Patrick married in a catholic church. On the marriage cert it says both parents are dead by 1867, I just do not know where to start looking

Renfrewshire / Greenock, Mitchell

« on: Sunday 02 May 10 23:05 BST (UK) »

Hello

I am looking for William Mitchell b1867 Greenock, married to Agnes Sweeney b1871. Agnes remarries in 1905 but on the marriage cert she states that she is a spinster and uses her maiden name of Sweeney. She also gets married in Glasgow while living in Greenock with Joseph Branchfield who is her second husband. I cannot find William anywhere but I know on one of their childrens marriage cert 1906 it says deceased. Is anyone else searching this part of the tree, this is my very large brick wall!!
many thanks
