I HAVE A FEW CREDITS LEFT ON SCOTLANDS PEOPLE IF ANYONE NEEDS LOOK UP

Hi! Paula,
It would be wonderful if you could locate Isobel(la) Carswell nee Corrie b 20/2/1818 m 12/2/1841 to William Carswell they had 3 children Thomas b 13/12/1841, Mary b 10/7/1843 and William b 12/9/1845. she was widowed on the death of William 8/8/1845, since then I cannot find anymore on Isobella, son Thomas last known 1851 census living Irongray with his grandmother Mary Corrie, of daughter Mary nothing known,son William d 1923 and is buried in Carlisle cemetery, they lived in New Abbey Kirkcudbright up to the time she was widowed
I need to know where Isobel(la) Thomas and Mary are buried so I can visit the graves and complete my search
Best wishes
Ian Carswell

HI IAN

COULD YOU TELL ME WHERE THEY WERE BORN PLEASE

hi ian

godddd this is hard lol

i have 2 thomas carswells dying 1869 port glasgow dont think yours as there was thomas carswell born in glasgow about the same time as yours, the other died 1887 in north bute once again another thomas born same time in bute so not looking good on that part, the only other thomas carswell i have found dying in newabby died 22/3/1836 so may be related to your william carswell, the same goes for mary and isabella currie but i will keep persisting i love challenges and will contact you as soon as i know anything concrete

hi sandra

will try for you do you know if they died in scotland or when they were born as at moment no marriage and have tried a few combinations of spelling of names

Hi Paula,
If you are still able to do scottish look ups I would be most grateful if you could find a death for Mary Newall Stevenson, her mother was Sarah Stevenson nee Newall but I think her father's name was Hugh Sharp.
Mary was born in Glasgow 23.5.1897, she is on the 1901 census with her mother and Hugh Sharp, any info on her would be appreciated.

Thank you
jean

Hi! Paula,
The Carswell family are from Kirkgunzeon Kirkcudbright
Isobel Corrie family she was the 8th born of 12 children.
Father Richard Corrie b 1780 farmer Killywhen Kirkgunzeon then Knocklae Balmaclellan and finally Maxwelltown Irongray.
most sites list Isobel as b at Killywhen Kirkcudbright Abt1819 but I found a Corrie site that lists her birth as Isobel Black Corrie b 20/2/1818 at Lawston Lochrutten which would be the grandparents place, Adam Corrie b 1749 d 30/1/1825 and Isabel(la) Black b 1749 d 6/10/1819
Hope this helps , I share a tree with a Paula it may be you
Ian

Ooops again......

Paula,
Thank you for the look ups for Mary Stevenson, the one in Blythswood is her but can't work out which is her death,

thanks very much
jean

Hi! Paula,
The light has been switched on, I had never considered the possibility that Isobel had remarried even though she would be in her late 20s early 30s Thomas seemingly kept the Carswell name as I know William the youngest child did, but Mary I do not know. Did Thomas live permanant with his grandmother Mary in Irongray ? did William go to live with the Carswells in Kirkgunzeon ? leaving Isobel and daughter Mary with her new husband ?.more research is need on my part.
Best wishes
Ian Carswell

OK............so her name was not Mary Newall Stevenson.?

Ooops.....................We can only look for what you said.

Frank 06,
On Mary's birth cert.it shows her name as Mary Newall or Stevenson.
My problem in finding her is that according to the poor relief records she is the daughter of Sarah Stevenson nee Newall and Hugh Sharp.
I have looked under all these names and still can's see her.
thank you
jean

So sorry Frank06, just noticed you did the look ups for Mary's birth and death,
Thank you once again. jean

Hi Paula,

Not sure if you have any credits left, if so, could you please find who the parents of Archibald Mcdougal who married Margaret Moffat 1841 in Dunbarton. I have a son who was born in 1855 to Archibald & Margaret, Lanark. Thanks

3 28/08/1842 MCDOUGAL ARCHIBALD DUNCAN MCDOUGAL/SARAH MCBRIDE FR642 M CARDROSS /DUNBARTON

this is assuming he was born in dunbarton

frank06 thanks for the help

there is also a archibald born 1/3/1818 in luss dunbarton parents alexander mcdougal and catherine sinclair

Hi Paula - may I take advantage of your good nature for a friend of mine please?


Duncan mcNeil Barclay son of Andrew Barclay marries a Julie Farrell in Mulligar on 23rd February 1919.
Duncan came from Scotland so I daresay did his father? Not sure when Duncan was born
He was also a soldier but no record of regiment etc

many thanks in advance for anything you can come up with - understand if you can do nothing

trudi

the child you have for archibald and mary was it either james, andrew, elizabeth, mary as on census he is archibald mcnab and his children are mcdougal lol strange

hi ann

i have a duncan barclay parents andrew and mary born 1896 greenock renfreshire on the census with siblings catherine agnes and elizabeth is this do you think is the right duncan

Paula,

The information that I had, was Samuel Bennett was born approx 1855 in Glasgow and died in Australia, on his death certificate it is stated that his parents were Archibald McDougall and Margaret Moffett.
