Re Joseph Kidd

There is a tree on Ancestry showing Joseph Kidd .. born c.1846 in Renfrewshire.
No parents named.

Joseph married Jane Brown on the 2nd August 1873 in Blythswood Glasgow. His marriage certificate should register his parents names .. but might not.

Is deceased by the time of his daughter's marriage in 1907

1861 census: Same as yours

1871 census: See further down for (complicated) details

However ... this looks to be Joseph Kidd in the 1871 census. Appearing to tie-in with James Hannay ... the other grandson of Mary Stevenson ?

1871 Scotland Census about Joseph Rudd

Elizabeth Henney

Also looks likely to be James Hannay .. from the 1841 and 51 census in Lochwinnoch where recorded living with his granny.

My guess is Elizabeth might be the daughter of Mary recorded in the 1841 census previously sent. She was born in Fenwick, Ayrshire.

Marriage ?
James Henney and Elizabeth Stevenson
4th January 1861
Central District, Glasgow, Lanark


(marr cert may verify Mary and John Stevenson as parents)


This family in a fankle .. does this mean James Henney and Elizabeth have known each other since 1836 .. when James Jnr was born but didn't marry until 1861.

Or has James Henney Snr been married to someone else during this time.

My goodness you ladies are quick finding data! I've hardly had time to think, far less organize the first lot of info in paper form, so I will not waste time/credits when I search SP. You certainly had given me much to work with ~ then gave much more!

Thank you for the added and totally unexpected info on James HENNEY & Joseph RIDD / RUDD / KIDD. I did have a quick look for one of them via Ancestry, but was so tired I was becoming confused.

Yes if one spouse married the deceased spouse's sibling, it was considered incest and of course illegal. Scotland as well . Not sure when the law changed. Recalling from memory - c1907? or c1927? time frame. It did happen though.

In for a penny, in for a £, is my general rule when I search SP, though I do prepare / get organized before taking the plunge. You ladies have been fantastic! With that in mind (& an SP search looming), I have another poser, but will post in a new thread. It has been a difficult search for me, yielding nothing, other than driving me bonkers. BROWN is prime surname.

I'm overwhelmed with the data provided on my STEVENSON - MCCLUKY family. Just saying thank you seems inadequate ~ certainly much appreciated.

Hi Trena

I have really enjoyed the search - thank you for providing me with a few hours of pleasure. Yes, 1907 was when the law changed in England but of course it did happen before that or couples just lived together.

Bring on Brown! (it could be worse, it could be Smith!)

I also noticed that the John mentioned in some of the earlier censuses appears to have also gone to Canada. Do you know anything about him?

mgnv ~ Sorry for the late response, I just saw this Bedford data. Thank you I do have all the Halifax data. Thomas born 1894 is my grandfather. Janet the eldest girl was born in Glasgow; Nancy born Stockport & James #2 born Derbys (have all BMDs). Robert was born Glasgow too. Although known as eldest child/brother, he was in fact a 1C (parents Mary MCLUSKY & James MCKENZIE who wed a few months after his birth - Mum died in 1880), born 29 February (according to SP as well) 1877. The eldest living son was in fact Joseph born Glasgow 1879. Two babies, James #1 & John #1 born / died Glasgow 1876-1878.

James #2 WWl did survive to come home. He did not stay in the army like his brother John #2 born 1892 Halifax who stayed in the Army (RCRs) after WWl, retiring 1946. I grew up with him nearby, plus 3 of his granddaughters (Kingston Ontario).

My thanks to all who have helped sort my family out. It has been much appreicated. Trena

Potty ~ Sorry I never got back to you. I'd not realised there were more messages.

Which John did you mean? John WHYATT? or John MCLUSKY? John WHYATT arrived aboard Peruvian in July 1887 with wife Margaret & 5 kiddies in tow. Name on manifest was WYATT. Attempts to revert back to WHYATT were in vain, hence we are now WYATTs.

John MCLUSKY I couldn't find after 1881. Two of same name died in workhouses but only names given with no further details, so I had no idea if one was our Margaret's father or not. Would be super if him who came over .. 'cause that might mean son John came as well! May be easier to find over here, especially if in Halifax area.

Many thanks ~ Trena
