Thank you Isobel.Your help is much appreciated . I have been struggling for a while with the Stafford's.

Just to update I have a marriage cert where Peter Stafford is her Father but realised I got a date mixed up so I will forget about that line of research for now. The death cert states her parent's are Patrick Stafford (Blacksmith) and Ann Lennock.
George Cassidy (son) is also on the death cert. George is also on Mary Cassidy's (daughter) marriage certificate.

May be of interest.

Hi,

Finally got the time to look. I'm on Scotland's People trying to find Ann Stafford Cassidy death cert but not having much luck.

1923   CASSIDY   ANN       STAFFORD   F   64   DYSART   /FIFE   426/00 0026

The above seems to be the one that keep's appearing. Any assistance is much appreciated. What do you think?

Hello,

 This is great ☺. Patrick Cassidy and Ann stafford had a daughter Mary born in Govan, Lanarkshire around 1895 but she died in 1929. I think that Francis son of Patrick and Ann is her older brother. I know nothing about this side of the family tree but would love to explore more. I believe Patrick and Ann are my 2nd Great Grandparents. I have Mary's marriage cert which shows that her brother George Cassidy was present at her wedding.

Hello AMBLY,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my topic and pointing out my mistake. I also admit to being very confused however after reading through your reply I would have to say that I made a mistake with the D.O.B of Cornelius Kilday born 1814 for some reason I seem to have miscalculated his birth and wrote 1821 . I have all of this information but found the 1861 census for Candia Kilday very interesting. Yes, the removal order is what I was referring to. I have been researching Cornelius Kilday and Mary Mc Aulay:

Then there is THIS fellow death in 1866
DEATH 1866, Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire
Cornelius KILDAY  52 years (so born abt 1814)
Died 18 Nov 1866, @ 4h am
At East High Street, Kirkintilloch
Labourer
Married to Mary McAULAY
Father: Patrick KILDAY, Farmer, deceased
Mother: Catherine KILDAY, ms BRUSHLAND, deceased
Informant, Mary KILDAY, widow, present, her X Mark

Then there is this........ def. enumerated as Candia! Maybe supposed to be 'Condie/Condy, apparently a pet form of Cornelius'? The address  Cowgate, is the same where your Biddy KILDAY was born 1863:
CENSUS 1861: Cowgate, Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire
Head: Candia KILDAY 40, Ag Lab, b Ireland (b abt 1821)
Wife: Mary KILDAY 30, Ag Lab, b Ireland (b abt 1831)
Dau: Nancy KILDAY 15, Ag Lab, b Ireland (b abt 1846)
Boarder: Catherine KILDAY 35, Ag Lab, unm, b Ireland (b abt 1826)
(Note: Nancy can be a pet name for Agnes or Ann)

And this, which you mentioned on the other topic
PARISH REMOVAL ORDER 1869:
Return of all poor persons removed from Scotland to Ireland
From the 1st.Jan.1867 to the 31st. Dec. 1869.
County Parish: Kirkintilloch, Adult female, widow of Cornelius KILDAY
With 6 Children under age 16
Sent from the port of Greenock, to Donegal, Ireland.

Is this this removal order what you're referring to here:

I believe she may have lived after this due to another record I have found which lead me towards looking in Ireland.

Thanks again,

 

Hello,

I would like some advice on where to start searching for my Grandfather's records:

Francis Alexander
B:17 Mar 1923 in Glasgow, Govern, Scotland
D:Sep 1991 in Gateshead, Durham, England 

I also have a Seaman's discharge book of his where he has his name written as Frank Alexander in 1973. I believe this book may be the last one he received however i would love to be able to see records from his earlier days in the Navy. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Please know I have uploaded the wrong picture  and this a an uncle.

Thank you,
