an exhaustive tree for John McMackin and his family, on ancestry
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/5440167/person/-1318298207/facts?_phsrc=Pgx1693&_phstart=successSource

That tree has their two daughters, Edith's death (1922), Margaret's husband and her children, etc. Margaret's death 1973.

Do you have ancestry.com or should I transcribe the records?

I used to have ancestry.co.uk which has lapsed, and it never did give me American records anyway.  I found Margaret's husband was called McCall, that is all I know, from Margaret's 1973 death record.  I don't know anything about her children.  I found the Find a Grave references to the burials of Edith and Margaret.

1900 they were living next to her sister Sarah in Westerly, I'll transcribe it in a minute

Jane was living next to her sisters Sarah and Edith and nephew Earl on the 1910 census too.

Sadly, you can only get those interactive links if you have a membership to anc  :-\

Yes, if I get another membership I will include American records, there are a lot of them and it would be worthwhile.  I didn't renew because it is difficult to use on Apple Safari, and I can't manage Windows 10, didn't want to struggle with odd browsers.  I keep having to use a special sign in process and it keeps failing, but still useful.

Are you looking at family search, they have a great variety ?

Yes I am using familysearch, and a lot of other records too.  Find a Grave is good.  I have never had so many American records to look at before.  I will look into an Ancestry membership that includes American records, maybe a short one because the issues with Apple Safari make everything more difficult, they don't really support it, but it is just about possible.

I think I am finding all the information anyway without the Ancestry tree.  Margaret McMackin married Gordon MacCall, and they had two children Janet and Harold MacCall.  There is actually a lot of information elsewhere, just the Ancestry tree makes it very easy to find.

As I said I might take out a short Ancestry membership with world wide records that include the USA.  Or I could look in a library and follow those links.

I wasn't finding my UK Ancestry membership useful enough to continue, with the added hassle of it not being really compatible with Apple Safari.

Thanks for your help, I think I have all the information I need.  It is only the descendants of Margaret McMackin, Harold and Janet, and there won't be any more information after the 1940 US census, and much beyond that point privacy gets intruded on anyway.
