Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with marriage cert. of Lillias Campbell & John Fenwick
« on: Tuesday 12 September 17 16:16 BST (UK)  »
I am struggling to read the marriage certificate of Lillias Campbell and John Fenwick. I am curious to know where both of them are from (I can only read Port Glasgow and Greenock) and what is written beneath Lillias' father's (Charles Thomson Campbell) name?

I apologise for the quality!

Thank you for all the info everyone!

I have an update. I managed to get Margaret's death certificate and the 1888 entry is the correct one. What I find intriguing is that Margaret's parents were also a John McGowan and Margaret Sutton. So it appears she was known with her mother's surname. Perhaps a coincidence but I find it very strange that both her parents' names are also her name and her husband's? Also, both John McGowan's were labourers.

As you have the exact date it should be found on the Free BMD index in Mar 1862 and apply for a copy. 

Where did you get the exact date from?

I saw the date on their daughter Bridget's birth certificate :-)

and wed in Lancashire, England on 1st February 1862.

The marriage certificate will give fathers names/occupations and witness names may also be helpful :)

Any recommendations as to where I can find the marriage certificate? :-)

Ireland / Margaret Lodden and John McGowan
« on: Wednesday 06 September 17 16:18 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information on Margaret Lodden and John McGowan. My 3x great-grandfather, Garret McGowan was born on 27th April 1865 to John and Margaret at St Ninian's, Stirling, Scotland. Both were born in Ireland - John was born in 1826 and Margaret in 1841 and wed in Lancashire, England on 1st February 1862. I cannot find any info on exactly where both were born and who their parents were. Apart from Garret, they also had Susan (b. 1867), Margaret (b. 1869) and Bridget (b. 1872), although there may be more who I haven't found yet!

(I have looked at the 1881 Scotland census, where Garret is transcribed to Goret.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Scotland / David Hunter Forsyth (1917-2005)

Looking for information about my grandfather, David Hunter Forsyth who was born on 28th April 1917 to Joseph Hunter and Elizabeth Anderson Forsyth in Alva, Clackmannanshire. I am ideally searching for more information regarding his duties in World War II. From what I know, he was involved with the Desert Rats, 8th Army, 124 Regiment, 489 Battery. He fought in North Africa and Sicily. I know this is a long shot but I would just love to know what information is out there about my grandfather! :-)

Looking for information about Gerald McGowan, who was born on 24th September 1915 in St Ninian's, Stirling. His father was John McGowan and his mother was Margaret Jenkins Robertson. From what I have been told before, he suffered facial injuries during World War II, but I know nothing more about him, or what he did during the war, whether he had a family etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Daisy on Social Security death index - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JB15-6WG

Could be them in the 1920 census?  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6BY-135

Yes that seems to be her! Thank you so much!

United States of America / Jack Grundy and Grace Hislop Blackwell McLean/ Daisy Grundy McLean
« on: Friday 25 August 17 17:57 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information about a Mr Jack Grundy, who I believe married Grace Hislop Blackwell McLean. Grace was apparently also known as Daisy Grundy McLean. I don't have any info on a marriage date and whether they had children.

The information that I do have, however, is that Grace was born on the 25th of March 1895 in Glasgow to Roderick Gunn Sutherland McLean and Susanna Hislop Brown. Grace passed away (I only know the dates and don't have the death certificate) on 23rd December 1971 in Willston, Pennsylvania.

I would love to know more about Grace and Jack so any information would be much appreciated!
