MCCARROLL MCCARDLE STRACHAN CALDWELL COX family tree help needed

[paul_mc]

Hi Everyone

I'm racking my brains but getting know where.

My great great grandfather Bernard McCardle married Elizabeth Morgan in Saltcoats, Ayrshire on 9th January 1855. Apart from this I know very little about the man and have had no success at all on Scotlands people. I don't know where either him or elizabeth came from or what happened to them afterwards.

They went on to have a son James who was born McCardle but changed his name to McCarroll, he is my great grand father. Does any one have any ideas how I can go about tracing this back as I'm really struggling...

Paul

What year was James born and was it in the same area you said you have not had much luck with Scotlands people... maybe if you search under Elizabeth Morgan for a marriage you might have more luck ...And that should give you both sets of parent's names

Just found the birth for James 25/8/1865 Stevenson Ayr along with Elizabeth 6/1/1869..Thomas 1864...Mary 1862 ..Catherine 1859
