please help me find margaret Mccrory (ie) Coutts

[elinga]

hi
I hope someone out there can help me !
I am looking for the daughter of my g-g-father, Robert and Margaret (Adair) McCrory (they married Carrickfergus 26.6.1874),she was born Margaret Alexander McCrory (later changed to McCrorie) 7.9. 1887, Boatstabs Parish of Dundonald!
I have her in the 1891 census with her family aged 3 at 3 St John Street Irvine.
I have her in the 1901 census with her family aged 13 at 9 Peter Street Irvine.
I think I have her in the 1911 census with her family aged 24 but called Margaret Coutts at 85 Fullerton Street irvine!
the reason I think that is her , is that my cousin assured me her mother said Margaret married Albert Coutts!
but until now I cant find anything on Albert Coutts or a marraige for Margaret!
I would appreciate any help on this one as it is driving crazy!
thank you
regards
Elinga

When you say you have her in 1911 "with her family" - which family?  Her McCrorie family or her Coutts family?

If with her Coutts family - is Albert present?  Where and when was he born?

If there are children - have you looked on SP for their birth to establish Margaret's maiden name

Is Margaret shown as married and if so - how many years

hi carole

"but until now I cant find anything on Albert Coutts or a marraige for Margaret"

it is with her mccrory family,   where it says married, there is a 5 in the box and under 1 year in the time box!
I have looked at Sp and familysearch and  have been unable to find either marraige ,birth regarding margaret or anything about Albert Coutts ;-(

Is Albert with her?

Is she shown as Daughter to Robert McCrory

[elinga]

no to first question!
yes to second!

[CaroleW]

is that my cousin assured me her mother said Margaret married Albert Coutts

So this is the only proof you have that he was Albert and not some other christian name

A basic search on SP for Coutts (no christian name) marrying a Margaret (no surname)  throws up 2 matches, one in 1909 and one in 1911

In view of the possible mis-spelling of Margaret's surname - I only used her christian name

Have you already discounted both these entries?

hi Carole
I did find 3 coutts but none of their ages seemed right and they all came from Aberdeen!
where did these 2 marraiges that you mention, come from and where did you find them ?
thank you for helping me!

Hi

As shown above - via a basic search on SP.  There are no guarantees that the marriage was in Ayr so I did not use any specific county - just the info I showed above
