Trainor 1861 Census, Glasgow Springburn

[Leigh1]

If anyone has access to the 1861 census, I would be glad of your help.  I have three Trainors listed as lodgers at 130 Garngad Road, Glasgow Springburn (householders Patrick and Agnes Madden).  I only have the transcript which names the Trainors as Bernard, Francis and VINA (female).  This seems such an unusual name that I am wondering if it is a misreading of the original.  Can anyone suggest what the name could/should be from looking at the original?
Many thanks.

@ Leigh, could be off Davina, I knew of a Vina Pollock in auld Springburn so not that rare? rhymed with Ina. 


Skoosh.

Thanks for replying so quickly Skoosh.  The family were Irish so I can't really see Davina fitting in, but I guess anything's possible!  I'm thinking it's probably something more common, just badly written and then mis-transcribed.

Hi according to the index at Scotlands People it is Vina you can check the original your self from Scotlands People

Thanks Wendy - I'm not registered with them so will do that.

Have just replied to your other post- if she was Irish most likely Lavinia or Levina.

I agree with Aghadowey, I'd say Lavina.

Hi,

Vina Trainor is recorded on the Census as married. As is Bernard. Francis is unmarried.
I would assume therefore that Bernard and Vina are a married couple.

There is a Bernard Trainor (recorded as a bachelor)  of 126 Garngad Road marries a Catherine Plunket in Sept 1861
Catherine is also on the 1861 Census- further along Garngad Road.
So is Vina, Catherine, recorded twice?
Bernard and Catherine have a child Mary Jane Trainer on 1st Dec 1861 - just three months after their marriage.
