Hi

Im stuck again this time, im looking or information on John Pringle and Jane, Mckinnie, this may not be right name, as its very hard to read the writing on James Pringles marriage certificate to Janet Aird 1864, Blythswood, Glasgow.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

So you've got a marraige cert for James Pringle and Janet Aird in Blythswood in 1864

now, who are John Pringle and Jane Mackinnie? Are they possible descendants or ancestors of the first two? Where and when should we be looking? And what sort of info are you after?

Hi Annie65115

Yes i have the marriage cert for James Pringle and Janet Aird, John and Janet are the parents of James Pringle, i have been looking for the census due to me being unable to find anything else on John & Janet ie birth, marriage or death cert, ive wasted sooooo many of my Scotlands People credits only to find its the wrong people ive found, both John and Janet were living when James got married, i was maybe thinking they where not originaly from Scotland, just not sure.

So do you have an approximate birth date for James Pringle from the mariage certificate? any census info at all?  The latter would tell you whether he was born in Scotland or not.  Even though it may not say that his parents were deceased, they may have been - unless one of them was a witness?

By looking for the children of this marriage, I have found them on the 1871 census in Glasgow  I think.  Was James a printer's compositor?

If so, James was 50 years old then, born in Glasgow.

Hey Nell

James Pringle was 23 in 1864, therefore his father and mother may have been born around 1818 thats just a rough guess, as i say ive not found anything on them so far, none of them are witnesses.

Scrub that - not possible.  Children's ages seem to beo out by 10 years except Elizabeth.  Most odd.

Ok, James was an iron turner on his marriage cert......

Found the family in 1871 - children match.  He was an engineer of sorts?

1851 he is recorded as born St Davids, Lanarkshire.  Address is Beith Railway station.

Any good?  Was his father a carpenter - from marriage certificate?
