McIlvaine Scotland

Hugh seems to disappear after the 1871 when he was living  with parents:

Parochial Board Land, Crofthead street, Ardrossan
William, 66, mason's labourer, b. Ireland
Rosanna, 63, b. Ireland
Hugh, 19, collier, b. Saltcoats

Children from the 1851~

Bernard/Barnard b.c. 1836
Elizabeth b.c. 1839 - followed
John,. b.c. 1841
Marrion/Mary b.c 1844 - followed
William, b.c. 1846 - followed
Hugh, b.c. 1850

I'll see if Hugh married or died but I'm starting to think that William snr might have been one of those deaths that aren't named - I've tried searching on just Wil* any surname and nothing jumps out

Death

MCILWAINE BERNARD 27
BROWN (mms)
1863
576/1 84
Ardrossan Old

Still no trace of Hugh yet & not found on a passenger list.
There's one who would fit with age/timing but gives Ireland for PoB & parents both deceased so doubting this one!

Just putting this into the 'pot'

There's an interesting family on the 1851 in Ardrossan
Transcription  only ~

William Mcilone, 40, lab
Rosina, wife, 40
Barnard, 15
Elisabeth, 12
John, 10
Marrion, 7
William, 5
Hugh, under 1, b. Saltcoats

All but Hugh, b. Ireland

In the 1861, Ardrossan, William and Rose Ann/Rosina are down a Mcilwain  and only Hugh is with them.

This must be the correct family as William (dob 1846) had a daughter named Mary Rosina Brown McIlvain. Could the name Mary on his marriage cert to Annie Blain have been Mary Rosina but she was known as Rosina? I am trying to get my head around everything thats been posted Am I right in thinkng that the parents - William and Rosina, were from Ireland? Apologies, I am very much an amateur at this.

Welcome to RootsChat

Amy Mcilvin 26   b Lanarkshire, Glasgow

Another question - Thomas H walker 2 boarder - went to South Africa with the family and died under the name THW McKelvin 1886 to 1887. Is there a way to research his possible adoption in Scotland? (For clarity, The McIlvain name became McKelvin in South Africa)

The census have them born in Ireland but Ive not been able to find them in the Irish records.

Hi again Gadget

Is it possible to find out more about this family please? Annie Blain's parents, Thomas and Anne (Galloway)

Thanks.

Hi fabfam

Was it just the Blain family that you would like more info on? I mis-typed the MS of Annie's mother, Ann Blain, It's Galloway. The marriage cert suggests that they are still living at the time. Have you got access to the censuses on FamilySearch, for e.g.?
