Hi everyone,

Can anyone help me with the handwriting of the following picture? I believe it says:

"Christina Scott
Maiden name Andrew
24 years ??
Her Second Child"

On the census records it says she was born in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland. I just have no idea what is written there as it is definitely not Hamilton.

I am looking for any information about:

Alexander MacDonald
Born: Unknown, Possibly between 1740-1760?
Died: Unknown
Occupation: Agricultural Labourer/Woollen Weaver

1st Married (date unknown): Kate MacKinnon

• Niel MacDonald (b. Abt 1784 Sleat/Strath, Skye - d. 1874 Sleat, Skye)

2nd Married (date unknown): Ann (Christy) Fletcher

• Donald MacDonald (b. 1795 Paisley - d. 1879 Calligary, Sleat, Skye)
• Alexander MacDonald (b.1800 Paisley - d. ??)

Donald MacDonald (my ancestor) married three times, to Jean Pollock (1819), Margaret MacPherson (1851) and Margaret Nicolson (1862).

His half-brother Niel MacDonald was married to Anne MacDonald, date unknown.

I really would be interested in finding:

• Census records for Alexander MacDonald depending on when he lived to
• Birth, Death and Marriage records of Alexander MacDonald
• Birth record for Niel MacDonald

I am looking for the mother or birth record of the following person:

William Berrie
b. Abt 1800 in Dunkeld (according to all census records from 1841-1871)
d. 1878 in Glasgow.

1st marriage (1826 in Mull): Catherine McCallum (?- died between 1837-1841)
2nd marriage (1841 in Glasgow): Isabella Allan

Profession: Gardener / Domestic Servant.

Death certificate lists his father as William Berrie, Gardener / Domestic Servant, and mother unknown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am looking for the death date of the following person:

Archibald Graham.

b. abt 1817 North Knapdale

m. 1841 to Margaret McIntyre (1818-1882) in Craignish Parish. (profession at this time listed as Servant at Barbreck House)

children:

Howard Douglas Campbell Graham b. 1841 Craignish.
Donald Graham b. 1843 Craignish d. 1919 in the Mariners Home, Greenock.
Mary Graham b. 1846 Craignish
John Graham b. 1848 Glassary Parish
Euphemia Graham b. 1850 Glassary Parish
Margaret Graham b 1856 Lochgilphead

1861 Census listed as living at Cossack St, Lochgilphead. Profession: Seaman. Curiously, his age and birthplace are left blank, perhaps he was out at sea during the census night?

His son's marriage certificate lists him as deceased in 1872, so his death must be between 1861-1872...but I can't find it anywhere! Perhaps he passed away overseas as he was a seaman (as were some of his sons).

Any help would be appreciated!!

I am looking for information related to the McDonald family that was in Crosslee for some period of time. They later moved to Glasgow, the information is as follows:

Donald/Daniel McDonald - Jean Pollock
Married in Glasgow 1819

Profession: Cotton Spinner.

Children that I know of:

Archibald b. 1823 Crosslee
John b. 1825 Crosslee d. 1902 Glasgow. (married Mary Inglis Kay)
Jean b. 1828 Crosslee
Donald b. 1831 Glasgow
Mary b. 1832 Glasgow
Agnes b. 1833 Glasgow
Christina b. 1836 Glasgow
Rachel b. 1839 Glasgow
Mary b. 1842 Glasgow
Neil b. 1845 Glasgow

I have no idea what became of the father Donald or Daniel McDonald. Some sources have his death date as 1851, but I see no evidence of this. I have marriage certificates of his daughters suggesting he may of been alive in 1857 and well into the 1860s, which would be handier as it is after the standerdisation of 1855.

Census records that I suspect are of him, list him as being born in Middle Paisley some time in the 1790s.

Any information or suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is my direct paternal line and I've been stuck on this for ages!
