Mary Currie born Irvine around 1835/1841

[chempat]

I am actually looking for a Jane/Jeanie Currie/Cardie who has Mary Currie, hand sewer,  on her death certificate, with no father named.

Because I was not sure who was Jeanie's mother, and no definite age for her as I could not find the two together on a census, I do not have a death for Mary.
Jeanie's age also varies, so had not decided on a birth for her.

So I was trying an alternative approach.

I did have a rule never to spend money after 10p.m. but to carefully consider the options.

I had seen that Peter Madan, and meant to record it 'just in case'.

But somewhere I have got a mention of a dock labourer, I think.

Sorry, which household in 1871?

[loobylooayr]

There is a Mary Currie aged 12 and born in Irvine recorded in the household of a Robert Wilson , Ironmonger , Townhead, Irvine.
Young Mary Currie is a domestic servant.

When did Jane/Jeanie Currie die and what ages do you have for her?

My notes:
Death (109 Wallace Street, Ayr) claims widow of Samuel Wilson Cardie (coal miner, drawer), and daughter of Mary Currie (hand sewer)

Death April 7th 1952 age 88.

So birth 1863/1864.

So this birth looked wrong, unless she lied once she married:
Janet Currie    F   1867   595/ 21   Irvine

A tree on Ancestry had Mary Currie (1840) marrying a Mr Scott - which could be this proposed family:

1871 Dundonald Irvine
Mary Carrie   30  head  muslin sewer
Jane Mccann   9  all either son or daughter, born irvine
Robert Scott   4
Mary Scott    4
William Scott   2
George Scott   1

or that might muddy the waters further - there are not many fathers around in this family.

Thanks for your assistance, and the opportunity for fresh eyes, I am off to bed.

I'm assuming by the term "claims widow" that you are unsure of a marriage between Jane Currie and Samuel Wilson Cardie ?

That family with Mary Currie as head of household looks like a good bet.
Jane McCann? age 9 so born circa 1861/1862....
And then the Scott children - including another Mary

There is a Jane Spence McCann born in Irvine in 1863 ??

[chempat]

Yes, I saw that Jane Spence McCann - not yet encountered any 'Spence' people - but could be on his side.

If the ages are accurate on the 1871 census, then I cannot find consistent surnames for births
1871
Mary Carrie   30
Jane Mccann   9 Dundonald  ?Jane McCann F 1863   Irvine  (should only be 8
Robert Scott   4 Irvine   ?Robert Currie M 1864 Irvine  (should be 6 or 7)
Mary Scott      4  Mary McCann 1870  Mary Currie 1861 neither?
William Scott   2  ? William Currie  M  1867   Irvine
George Scott   1    ?George Currie  M 1870   Irvine

OK, paid to see
Robert could be 6 or 4

Still no man in household, which would help.

Samuel Wilson Cardie only seems to be Samuel Cardie/Cardy in the records I can see for him, do not know why he should turn up as Samuel Wilson Cardie at death.

Samuel Cardy marries Jane Currie in 1883, Ayr.

I have these series of births from IGI with no father :

Margaret Currie   1865  Irvine  mother:Mary Currie
   
William Currie   1867 Irvine   mother:   Mary Currie   
   
Robert Curriel 1864   Irvine   mother:   Mary Currie
   
George Currie   1870   Irvine   mother:   Mary Currie   
 
Mary Currie  1861  Irvine  mother:Mary Currie

but no Jane/Janet/Jean/Jeanie

There are many Mary Curries around Ayr, but when I was trying to find a Jean Currie with mother Mary Currie, could not find.

And,
I cannot now see why I have recorded her as Jeanie, which is slightly annoying, as I had better go and do some work.

Added:
Just paid for that Jane Spence McCann birth - and asked for a re-scan.  Father probably James a blacksmith, mother probably Mary but original surname Myers or anything.  So No.

I am having about a 50% rate of asking for a re-scan from scotlandspeople, it is getting a little embarrassing.
