[AllieElsokary]

Would really appreciate if anyone is heading to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow if they would mind looking up someone for me in the Poorhouse Relief Applications.☺

Name: Rachel Goldie
Died: 21st February  1870 age 27
Pauper Millworker City Poorhouse
74 Back Wynd, Glasgow
Parents Michael Goldie/Margaret Goldie nee Fisher? Frisher

Any mention of a child Mary born 1866 to Rachel? Illegitimate? What happened to the child? Or any other children? Any other info would be marvellous.

Many thanks ☺

Where was Mary born?

Have you checked if she's in the Poorhouse in 1871/1881?

Thanks everyone☺

My gg father John Mc Fadyen  married a Mary Goldie in Kinning park in 1886, she was 19 which would match with the Mary born to Rachel in 1866. This mary was born to Rachel.

The confusion lies in their marriage certificate. Parents are John Goldie and Agnes Goldie nee Stevenson.

Since Mary was illegitimate and Rachels parents were Michael Goldie and Margaret Fisher and Michael was deceased when Rachel died I am wondering if Rachels daughter Mary was adopted and Michael had a brother John.

John and Agnes married in 1869, but in the 1881 census Their child Mary is 14 making her born in 1866, 3 years before they married!

This makes me think Rachel was destitute, a pauper and her father was deceased and the he had a brother who took in Mary, her child.

Trying to see if the poor records offer up more of her info ☺
