Find Ancestors

hi yes i have the marriage certificate, fathers name is martin mcglachie, i am having trouble finding any further information on him, i have tried scotlands people website, but cant seem to find anything. Yes that is him mentioned in the 1911 census, thank you for putting your mind to my mystery, emma

Marriages Mar 1908

McGLACHIE Robert Martin - Pancras 1b 108
Page Ellen Elizabeth - Pancras 1b 108
PRICE Harriet Pancras 1b 108
VOTE Charles William Pancras 1b 108



Is this him in 1911

MILITARY -MCGLACHIE ROBERT - 1885 - 26 -St George London

hi its been a year and a bit since i've done any searching just wondered if anyone else could shed any light or give me any news paths to follow?

thank you everyone for taking to time to have a look, i thought it was just me being a novice which was why i was having so much trouble trying to piece this together but it seems not. I am seraching ayrshire as this is the birthplace stated on the census in 1911.

May have to consider that trip to scotland to investigate a little bit further me thinks, however i will try and find the marriage certifcate for robert and margaret and see if this brings me a ny closer to martin.

I'd agree rootgatherer, I found a few census returns but they suggested Ireland, it's hard with a name that peopel I guess wrote as they heard it!

Not any help I know! When you first posted I looked on Ancestry for various combinations of the surname McGlachie in Ayrshire with no success. The fact that his father's christian name is Martin, I wondered if the family may have originated from Ireland so I tried looking for a Martin with the birthplace Ireland with no success. If you think of the surname McGlackie with an Irish accent there are several possibilities. I tried search Ancestry just using McGl* with no success. I am wondering if your ancestor just thought that he was born in Ayrshire but was born elsewhere and raised in Ayrshire.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Hi Helen,

Nothing for a Martin anywhere...I have only used the search surname of M*chie so it should have returned a few results but nothing for a Martin.

No idea on his mother;s name?

I'll check now, sorry about the incorrect one.

There are a couple that may fit in the 1894 scottish census but with differing variations of the surname again, do you want me to post those (I don't want to waste anyones time!)

What about this one for the 1901 census:

Name: Robert Macouochie
Age: 14
Estimated birth year: abt 1887
Relation: Son
Father's name: James Macouochie
Mother's name: Margaret Macouochie
Gender: Male
Where born: Scotland

Civil Parish: Stoke Newington
Ecclesiastical parish: St Andrew
County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Hackney
Sub-registration district: Stoke Newington
ED, institution, or vessel: 2
Household schedule number: 191
Household Members:

Name Age
James Macouochie 60
Margaret Macouochie 54
Lizzie Macouochie 24
James Macouochie 22
Eliza J Macouochie 20
Maggie Macouochie 18
Annie Macouochie 16
Robert Macouochie 14

Any of these names look familiar?

they are both the same for robert martin mcgill, father david mcgill, so dead end

i have now sorted the problem went thru internet exp instead of the usual firfox and it has allowed me to open them, doesn't give me any better info at the moment but it may help down the line

You will need to contact SP if you are having difficulty accessing.

Catherine

there's one on the census which it will allow me to access, do not know the names yet but if i could piece together the martin mcglachie part they might be the next step, there's a match in the statuatory death section, old parish births, 2 in old parish deaths, and 2 in catholic baptisms. however when i click to view these records it takes me back to home search screen, it would be interesting to see what these other records could be,

i am having trouble finding any robert martin in 1886 between those dates, but i have put in m*glachie and it brings up results but when i click on view it just takes me back to home screen, do you have any experience with this site, do i need to buy different creditd for different results?

hi helen i have looked at the pages looking at just robert, and there doesn't look to be anything coming up which i believe could be a match. i am now looking at robert martin with no surname but i have not found this one in 1886 as you said, i've looked between 1880-1890 aswell as your dates and it only comes with 3 results

thank you for that mike i will look in to it and order it, and tahnk you for help helen i will look into that over the next few days, at the moment this is the only way i think i can trace back the mcglachie name any further , cheers

Maybe Margaret was married before

Marriages Mar 1946 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brown Margaret - McGlachie Gateshead 10a 1967
McGlachie Robert - Brown Gateshead 10a 1967

the next step for me is to find the marriager cert from roberts second marriage to margaret johnson (1896-1959) to see if this gives me any more information on martin mcglachie

thank you for all of your help, i have tried a number of different variant spelling on scotlands peopole and just keep coming up blank, heres where the story ends i feel, i dont know which other way to take my search now.

sorry mike there are witness' i assumed these were the names of the registrars one is clearly emily fowler, the other is i believe rose dadbon (alotho i can only really guess adbon the 1st letter is questionable) would they however have 2 female witness'?

on the marraiage certifiacte it doesn't say anything about marting being deceased
