Viv, thank you, thats a lot of marriages. Why are my family so complicated lol

Were her parents born in Ireland?

Are they on the 1881 and 1891 census in Renfrewshire?

Did she have brothers and sisters of John, Thomasina, Mary and Henrietta?

Just been looking at a family in 1891 and someone on Ancestry has added a name correction to Elizabeth Graham to read Elizabeth Read. Unfortunately one of those name correction when you can not view why they changed the name - so annoying

Glitterbaby, yes her parents were born in Ireland and they are her siblings.

Elizabeth and John were born in Glasgow, Thomasina and Mary were born in Gourock and Henrietta was born in Greenock (I believe)

Mother Mary and Henrietta are in Renfrewshire in 1901 so that should narrow the search area down for her marriage just a little bit

Hi Amanda,

Another free quick search on scotlandspeople between 1900 and 1933 for an Elizabeth Graham marriage in Renfrewshire shows 23 matches on 1 page.
Sorry I've no credits at present.

Thank you Glitterbaby and Frank. God knows how I would know the correct one.

Thank you rootgatherer.

by narrowing down the search area to Renfrewshire 1891 - 1901

1901 MCRAE RODERICK GRAHAM ELIZABETH GREENOCK WEST /RENFREW

1898 PICKEN WILLIAM GRAHAM ELIZABETH PORT GLASGOW

1897 REID ROBERT GRAHAM ELIZABETH PAISLEY

1892 ROONEY PATRICK GRAHAM ELIZABETH PORT GLASGOW

1893 STEWART SAMUEL GRAHAM ELIZABETH GREENOCK WEST

1894 STIRLING SAMUEL GRAHAM ELIZABETH PAISLEY

1892 TRAINER JAMES GRAHAM ELIZABETH PORT GLASGOW

1898 WILSON WILLIAM GRAHAM ELIZABETH GOLDI PAISLEY

1891 FERGUSON SAMUEL GRAHAM MARY ELIZABETH JOHNSTONE AND ELDERSLIE


There are 3 in Paisley which I think are the most likely.

Unless you know of a middle name for Elizabeth then I would rule out the marriage to William Wilson.

Given that the 1891 census has a name change for her to Read then that might narrow it down to the marriage of Robert Reid.

1901 has a Robert Reid and wife Elizabeth but living in Lanarkshire

The 1897 marriage to Robert Reid is not our girl as the only parent listed is a mother and not Mary Jane as given at the start.

I will check the others and get back to you.

Tom

Mary Jane Graham(Kirkwood) died 1926 in Gourock, Renfrew age 78yrs old if you join Scotlandspeople her death which you will be able to open £6 for 30 credits may give you answers like who signed the certificate or if she was a widow or if husband is still alive may be able to find Elizabeth

I took a look at the death cert
