Very Very long shot!!!!!!!!! Charles McCalpin/ Mcalpine born 1797 Ireland Married to Margaret born Scotland abt 1816, I have searched most of the Irish records for there Marriage to no avail, On the IGI family search web site we Have Charles Mcalpine married to Margaret Clark 10th December 1848 Barony, Lanark, Scotland, We know Charles Married late in life and had his last child at 61 years of age, Question did Charles McCalpin/ Mcalpine leave Ireland for a short while to go to Barony and meet Margaret Clark and marry her? then return to Ireland later on? I have children born In Ireland Esther 1851, Samuel, 1853, Mary, 1855, Hannah, 1857, Margaret 1861. The Family then moved on to Stockport Cheshire, JUST HOPING WE CAN SEE THE 1851 CENSUS RECORD OR A MARRIAGE CERT?(BARONY) TO VERIFY THE FAMILY WHEREABOUTS.

Hi Philip,
There's no Charles McAlpine/McCalpin in 1851 Glasgow index.
There's also some one on 'GenesReunited' researching a Charles and Margaret McAlpin, she also quotes the family being in Stockport Cheshire in the 1881 census, maybe a connection there for you.

I've also checked the 1851 index for Glasgow .... and while there is 1 Charles McAlpin and 3 Charles McAlpine's none of these match the age of your man ...... there are numerous Margaret McAlpin(e)'s but again none of them match up with a Charles.

Thank you Falkyrn for looking up the 1851 Glasgow census, Good luck in your searches Philip

Hi
Have you checked the death certificate for Charles McAlpine to verify wife's last name etc. as well as parents names? You could then check it against the marriage, providing it lists parents.
I found on Freebmd at www.freebmd.org.uk
DEATHS - 1866
Surname Forename Age Place of Death
McCalpin Charles 69 Stockport
DEATHS - 1880
Surname Forename Age Place of Death
McCalpin Charles 0 Stockport
(There were several other McAlpine's/McCalpin's births, marriages and deaths.)
You can also try Cheshire BMD at http://cheshirebmd.org.uk/
You might also want to post on the "Cheshire" section of Rootschat to see what can be found for you.
As far as the Irish search, don't give up, as it took us several years just to find the marriage of gg-grandparents.
Good Luck!
