help needed family history
« on: Sunday 03 April 16 19:47 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone
Can anybody help me find my grandmother?
Her Father was Robert McIntyre born in Scotland approx1820.I found a Robert McIntyre a tailor master
in London in 1881 and then in 1891 he was a retired tailor in Middlesex. Could anyone lookup
these two census records to find if he had a daughter called Mary who could be my grandmother.
I have been trying to find out about her for about 30 years. she married my grandfather Thomas
Campbell in 1917 in Belfast.Isearchedthe1901/1911 census for Ireland but no trace if his daughter was Mary could you please find her mothers name as well.
Thankyou

In 1891 Robert is a boarder, widower living with the Clark family in Hounslow. No Mary living with the family.

Any idea what Mary or her husband did for a living, and do you know which part of Scotland the family came from?
McLeod, McKean, Hepburn (Fife)
McGowan, Gowan (Dumfriesshire, Ireland)
Nelson, McKean (Lanarkshire)
McKean, Mulgrew (Lethbridge, Alberta)
Boswell, Plumb, Lyon, Stokes, Pemberton, Crawford, Threadgold (Cheshire)
Tierney (Scotland/Ireland)

Have you found Mary on any census before her marriage?

When and where was Mary born?

I presume you have the name of Mary's father from her marriage cert? What was her father's occupation?

If Robert was born in 1820 then there is rather a gap in time from when Mary may have been born to her marriage in 1917  ???

Worth a try.I cant find Mary anywhere the only thing I know is
Mary Mcintyre married my grandfather Thomas Campbell in 1917 in Belfast,
they where both married from the same address 44 Dagmar street Belfast.
Mary died in 1941 aged approx 64 . I got her Fathers name of their marrage cert
Mary was down as Minnie Mcintyre and her Father as Robert Bennett Mcintyre.
Thankyou for all your help.

What was Robert Bennett McIntyre's occupation on the marriage cert?

Who were the witnesses on the marriage cert, as sometimes they can help?
