Lanarkshire / Christina Docherty
« on: Sunday 30 October 11 14:24 GMT (UK)  »
In the 1861 census Christina was a criminal prisoner in Duke Street prison,How can I find what her crime was? While living at 122 Gallowgate in 1862 she married a soldier James Harris of the 76th regiment stationed at the Barracks Glasgow she was 27 and a spinster.Why was James stationed in Glasgow and where would he go?
In 1868 while living at 29 Gallowgate she then married another soldier Robert Singleton also stationed at the Barracks in Glasgow he was aged 22 and a soldier of 25th of foot again why was he stationed there and where would he go? Christina was again down as a spinster aged 28.
Cannot find her in 1871 census under any of her married names.
She died in city poorhouse in 1879 and said that James Harris was deceased and Robert Singleton died in England.Before entering poorhouse she was living with a Quay labourer named Pat King, at Brown Street Glasgow,Can't find him on 1871 census.
Thank you for any help given

Tyrone / Samuel Turner
« on: Saturday 25 July 09 17:50 BST (UK)  »
On 24/12/1875 a marriage took place in Bridgeton, Glasgow between Samuel Turner and Mary Eliza Caldwell.

The Groom stated his parents were Richard Turner and Ann Griffin.

The Brides parents were Mathew Caldwell (Coal miner - Deceased) and Mary Boyle (formerly Caldwell, maiden surname Kean).

In the 1891 Glasgow census Samuel Turner stated he was born in Tyrone, Ireland and his wife Mary in Ayrshire, Ayr.
I cannot find any further information regarding their ancestors. I would be grateful for any information or pointers.
Thank you
