Jackie,
He died in 1954 and he was single.

Sandra

do you have him after 1901 marrying? If not then he may have died between the census being taken

Jackie

Joseph Gray isn't on the 1901 Census, where would he be, he would've only been 13?
Any ideas anyone ?

I googled it and this is what it is -

tuberculosis of mesenteric glands in children.

Jackie,
Thank you very much.

Sandra

cause of death is Tabes Mesenterica

Jackie

Thank you very much Jackie.

Sandra

Sandra

It was her father who registered the death but I cannot read the cause

Jackie

Jackie,
Can you see what Elizabeth died of and who registered the death, please?

Thank you

Sandra

Martha Cunningham age 19 10 Argyle St Port Glasgow Greenock
parents Joseph Cunningham labourer and Sarah Jane Cunningham m/s McClements

witnesses were Hugh Docherty and Isabella McKay

Jackie,
Thank you very much. I looked for a marriage with the last of my credits on SP and only one came up, I looked and it was the wrong one AGAIN.
No matter what line of my family I try to find, there's always some info missing, ie, birth, death etc.

Thank you again Jackie.

Sandra

Sandra there is a death on SP

Elizabeth Gray died on 11 November 1891 at 8 Argyle Street Portglasgow age 1 father John Gray Iron Caulker mother Martha Gray m/s Cunningham

Not managed to find her birth though in the Renfrew district the image on the census on SP says that she was born in Port Glasgow but there is no corresponding birth in 1890/91 to match .
Martha was born in Ireland incase you haven't got this info



Jackie

Perhaps Elizabeth died young?

Crikey GB, that was quick, thank you very much.
I was hoping to see their son Joseph on there but I don't know who Elizabeth is? I have them on 1901 Census -

How will you know it is the right family?

Can anyone please look up the 1891 Scottish Census for John and Martha Gray, they would be about 20/25 years old and lived in Greenock or Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire.
Thank you.
