Find Ancestors

Ginny,
I can't thank you enough for all your help and everyone else that has helped me.

I cant find any other ships records for Finlay at all.

I would guess that there are NOT 2 Finlays in the US as only one matching your man shows up and he is also in Scotland in 1901 according to the census

So maybe the census immigration year is incorrect?

Ginny, thank you very much.

This looks like Catherine and husband Colin leaving Scotland and the immigration year ties in with the census

From page 2 - " The 1910 census says Year of immigration: 1880 but the passenger list says Finlay arrived in 1906 also his daughter Catherine left New York to go to Glasgow in 1899. I'm confused with these dates."

Does this mean it's 2 different Finlays? (Sorry to be so thick)

Ginny, thank you again.

Smith could have been anything like a Blacksmith or Silversmith etc....Journeyman means he was a tradesman

Erin, I knew you wouldn't resist. lol. Thank you.

I have Peter (father) occupation as a Blacksmith, on yours it says "Smith Journeyman" what does that mean?

Ginny, thank you. Looks like she was a live in servant, thank goodness we cleared that one up, I was dreading her being another rellie. lol

Flick, thank you. I know you posted the marriage yesterday, I was just saying that I saw it on Familysearch.

Thank you again, I appreciate your help.

I posted the marriage to Janet for you yesterday

Erin, put it this way.......there's nothing but forest on my map.

The 1910 census says Year of immigration: 1880 but the passenger list says Finlay arrived in 1906 also his daughter Catherine left New York to go to Glasgow in 1899. I'm confused with these dates.

Bonny Lass...You sneaked under the radar on this one..have only just found it...
How many trees in forest at the last count...???

Flick, thank you again.
When I looked on Familysearch, I just put the surname and parents names to see what came up, I hadn't actually put Finlays name in. I have looked on there now and see the marriage to Ann and there's the other one to Janet Davidson as well.

Kay, thank you for that. I wish people would keep the names they were given as it would make life so much simpler. lol

You can't have looked on the IGI.................

The marriage and the 1871 census certainly tie in with each other

1881 and subsequent censuses obviously reflect a second marriage.....

You may to get some units on Scotland's people to get further info
