McCowan/McGowan

Thanks Monica. I'll look some more. Interestingly she was born Ireland 

Just checked the marriage certificate again. Jane's parents were both alive - well not shown as deceased on the certificate.

Back to the search

Right - got them on the 1881:

GRO Ref - vol 899, ED 3, Page 6
52 McCulloch Place, Inch, Wigtown
Thomas McCowan, 58, Tailor, Old Luce
Sarah, 54, Ireland
with daughters Annie and Jessie

More to do........................

Added:
In 1891
Sarah, aged 65, is a widow, living at the same address as above, A seamstress, b. Ireland.

With her are daughter Jessie and grandson John Higgins, aged 2

So Thomas died 1881-1891.

P.S.   

Gadget,

Don't forget to eat !!   We don't want you wasting away.  There would be no-one "up-there over the border" to help us !.

Glad you were pleased. Do look at how I found them all (both threads) and tested that they were the correct people. 

WE couldn't have done this with E & W records though 

I'll PM you after supper.

Anything else 

Gadget-  very much North of the Border
