McGarrigle- Convoy

[siberian tiger]

Hi

I checked Scotlands People and sure enough Daniel and Gila were married on the 14th of November 1859 in Port Glasgow at St Johns church, the parents of Daniel are James McGarrigol and Catherine Cunningham, I cannot really make out who the parents for Gila are the writing is not very clear. My connection to this line (my fathers side) is their son John married Bridget Welsh in 1888 at the same venue, they are my Great Grandparents. I would dearly love to find out which area of Ireland they came from, I am presuming it would be the same for both of them, though we cannot be sure of that. I have traced my mothers line back to Antrim but I am struggling with this one probably due to not knowing how or where to look, and I suppose the name variables throws up other lines, if anyone could give me some more ideas I would willingly pursue, that would include a visit to Ireland to check any forms of information that might be out there.

Hi everyone,
     An earlier post (reply #2) mentioned the deaths of Dennis (Daniel) and Julia (Gila, Janet) McGarrigle in 1909 and 1914.
     Their death records could provide some information, e.g. Father's name and occupation, mother's maiden name, name of spouse. These could now be useful, given that the marriage record is difficult to read.

HI everyone.  Came to this thread a bit late.  My family came to Port Glasgow at the same time as Denis and Julia and I belive that Denis is my Great great grandfather's brother.  We have a family name of Denis (which I have and my father and grandfather were both called Denis (or Denny for short).  I still have an auntie who knew my great grandmother and lived in the same tenement block (which all the family did).  Bay Street is no longer there but the whole family lived in that road or very close to it as Port Gloasgow was not a very big place at the turn of the last century.  I believe that my great grandfather was killed in the first world war (Royal Dublin Fusiliers) and there is an inscription on the war memorial in the town to that effect. My aunty used to visit Northern Ireland/Donegal in her childhood and belives it was somewhere just outside Derry.  The census has the family members down as Mussel Fishermen which is interesting as that is the type of job that immigrants would do now.  MJy family all went on to work on the shipyards.

Hello all
I am also working on the same family have been in touch with siberian tiger  for a few months now - Denis and Julia were my Great Great grandparents.

Clonbur6 I have details of Daniel McGarrigle who is listed on the Port Glasgow war memorial and certs which I am happy to share - will drop you a pm

Denis and Julias wedding cert have  both fathers listed as Labourers and the names for Denis folks are James McGarrigle and Catherine Cunningham. For Julia are Cornelius McCoul and Margaret McNicols or McNeil.

The death cert for Denis in 1909 gives the fathers occupation as Farmer and his wifes maiden name as McCool

The death cert for Julia gives the spouses name again as Daniel McGarrigle and her fathers occupation is also changed to Farmer - mothers maiden name is not noted.

Still no idea what part of Ireland to search though.......................

I was updating my tree and have found the person you mentioned from the war memorial in Port Glasgow.

Douglas Archibald Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers Private
Died 16 Aug 1917 France & Flanders Killed in Action
Formerly 8638, Argyll And Sutherland Highlanders.

He was the son of Edward and Rose Douglas and Brother of John Douglas who married Mary Ann McGarrigle in St Johns Church in 1883.

Do I have the right details because I also found this in the local BMD taken from local newspapers:
Archibald, youngest son of Edward Douglas, died at 13 Ardgowan Street, Port Glasgow on
18th February 1900 age 20 (Port Glasgow Express 23.2.1900 & Greenock Telegraph
19.2.1900)

We are doing some family research and would be interested in any help you could give me. We recently discovered that our biological grandfather was called * McGarrigle, brother to *.

We are not known to the family as * only had a brief relationship with our grandmother, resulting in the birth of our mother * (1964 Paisley). We would like to know more, particularly about *'s children and his nieces/nephews.

Please message or write back with any info you have as you may be a cousin!

 There was a family of McGarrigles in Glasgow at this time and also a member of the Port Glasgow branch moved to Paisley. I have no idea from the details you aded if it's the same family you would have to contact me via PM but to do this you have to make a few more posts.
