The details on their children matches well with the family's 1861 entry, with two girls born before Sarah. Just for background here:

Felix Mcfadyen 33 Stevedore b. Ireland
Mary Mcfadyen 35 b. Ireland
Margaret Mcfadyen 14 Wool Spinner b. Ireland
Mary Jane Mcfadyen 10 b. Ireland
Sarah Mcfadyen 5 b. Ireland
Andrew Mcfadyen 3
Isabella Mcfadyen 5 Months

Address: 62 King St, Tradeston, Glasgow/Govan

1871, Mary a widow possibly:

Mary Mcfadgen 40 b. Ireland, c tyrone
Mary Mcfadgen 19 Cotton Weaver b. Ireland, c tyrone
Sarah Mcfadgen 15  Cotton Weaver b Glasgow
Isabella Mcfadgen 9 b. Glasgow
John Mcfadgen 7 b Glasgow

Address: 129 Main St, Hutchesonton, Glasgow/Gorbals


Yes, Ladyhawk. That is the right family. By 1871, Mary is showing as head of household (Find my Past have her as widowed on their index). A marriage in 1869 for one of the children had Felix as deceased too.

Son John in 1871 was born on 9 July 1864 so around there to 1869 is the window it seems for Felix's death.

Thank you MonicaL

Scotland Roman Catholic Parish Burials

There are a number of burial entries for persons named
Mary McFADDEN/McFAYDEN/McFAYDAN born between 1821 - 1829 buried at
St Peter’s Cemetery, Dalbeth, Glasgow.

Sorry could find no death entries for a Felix McFayden between 1864 - 1870  ???
the only burial I could find McFadyen is named Allan born 1828 died 1864

All I could find was this transcription on Scotland, Stirlingshire & Perthshire Burials 1755-2019
no death year, no age  :-\

F M Place Logie Cemetery Stirlingshire section Kirk Row 12 number 207
