You could look at Catherine's birth on Scotlandspeople (births prior to 1910 can be viewed online) to check if this is the correct family.

I don't see a marriage on Freebmd for John and Norah yet. Will keep looking.

Could anyone look up the 1891 or 1901 census for me please for John Gaughan & Norah Welsh marriage 3rd March 1899 Preston?

Just received my Grandfathers birth cert showing father as John Gaughan married 3rd March 1899 in Preston! His occupation in Railway Platelayer. I cant really read the mothers name, I think it's Sarah or Norah Welsh? Is there any site where I could find free info on marriages in 1899 in Preston?? Im hoping details on their marriage would give their DOB's

Andrew, there's a spelling change to begin with but the marriage certificate will give you both sets of parents names as well as mothers' maiden names and occupations of the fathers.
Names and addresses of witnesses are also included as Scottish certifcates give you a lot more information.

With all the parents details you will rapidly be abe to look them up on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

£7.00 for 30 credits.
1 credit to view a page of up to 24 search results.
5 credits to view / save / download the certificate.

So with a little luck you could search and view 5 certificates for a total cost of £7.00 all from the comfort of your own computer............

1 1938 GAUGHAN ANTHONY MCDADE CATHERINE OLD OR WEST KILPATRICK /DUNBARTON 501/00 0334

Unfortunately this certificate falls just outside the 1855 - 1935 cut off for viewing online marriage certificates so you will have to order it.

£12.00 from Scotlandspeople.

If you want to check the 1911 census, it will be a lot easier if you have the parents names from the marriage certificate to search for.

I believe they may be of Irish descent, but don't know how far back it goes, I didn't know the Gaughan would have many variations?? I tried scotlands people for the 1911 census but no joy! :(
Do you know an easy way to check Irish records??

Andrew....Both surnames will probably lead you back to Ireland....
You may be as well to check out 1911 Scottish Census for the famlies...Mc Daid is not so difficult but the Gaughan surname has a few variations .

I have Anthony Gaughan & Catherine McDaid's children if that helps.

Hi,
I am looking for some help on my Grandparents ancestors. My Grand father was Anthony Gaughan who I believe was born Clydebank 20/01/1917 and died 22/12/1989. He married Catherine McDaid (born around 1920 I think). I believe they married in Clydebank 1938. I cant find any details of my grandfathers parents but believe he had 3 sisters Bridget, Celia, Cathleen & 3 brothers Francis, Martin & Michael.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Andy
