Thank you all so much, at least we know what happened to Edward now, it was mentioned in the family that he never married. No wonder I couldn’t find details of him. It would be nice to find out what happened to him if he was cremated or buried and where etc. That’s a task for another day though.

I can’t figure out what cause of death was due to handwriting and I think it says Ballinastraw. Do you think I’m right. Can anyone decipher cause of death, where and informants name as very hard to read

Ballinastraw is mentioned on Mary Anne’s baptismal certificate
Ballinakill and Bariniskey are mentioned on William and Margaret’s marriage cert

Sinnan, yes he was still married, Margaret Corcoran died in Scotland as a widow on 8th April 1936 aged 80. She outlived her daughter Bridget and possibly Margaret

Hallmark, they’re not on the 1901/1911 census as they were in Scotland at that point. Thanks for posting the census

So what is on the 1901 and 1911 Census of Scotland for the Margaret and the rest of the family?
Was William on the 1901 Census of Scotland?

Ok thanks, looks like quite a few Bestall’s on the census but sadly none of my ancestors. i presume previous census records were lost in the fire/destroyed 

That’s probably what’s causing me the hassle of linking the family properly to their forebears
