Hi Zander
Not finding a bith on Scotland's People for Matilda post 1900 but they stop on line at 1906 so if after that would entail a visit to GROS where you can see them on line. there are 4 Matilda Raineys but the latest is 1897 and none are in Renfrewshire.
Am posting in case any turn out to be the one you want.
1860 RAINEY MATILDA F OLD OR WEST KILPATRICK /DUNBARTON 501/00 0165 VIEW
2 1877 RAINEY MATILDA F BRIDGETON GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/01 0954
3 1887 RAINEY MATILDA F DUMBARTON /DUNBARTON 496/00 0590
4 1897 RAINEY MATILDA F RUTHERGLEN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 654/00 0651
Same will apply to the other children fraid. A search for Thomas's kids all come up with pre 1900 results across Scotland as a whole.
Not finding a marriage in Scotland for Maggie and a Thomas Mason
Not finding a marriage for Thomas Jnr to a louise - again if after 1931 won't be on line. If you have Louise's surname I can look again
I have found Emily's marriage to William Burns. 1919 BURNS WILLIAM BRENNAN EMILY PORT GLASGOW /RENFREW 574/00 0082
This can be veiwed at Scotland;s People and will give date and place but also parents names. Their children are not visible because of the 1906 cut-off
Hope this helps

hi ann
many thank's for your reply,my mistake as matilda was born in n.ireland ,
not to sure who tommy mason married,
but i am sure his mum maggie and dad tommy were married in scotland.
the marriage of brennan and burn's look's to be right so i will give it a view.
again many thank's for your time.

just found your other message about masons, they lived in 10 chalmer st greenock upstairs from me, I knew the girls irene margaret & lousie, the were a little older than me the houses all got bull dozed in 1969 everyone moved to different parts of greenock, i was 12 at the time, but as i said my older brother will know more about the 3 sisters will let you know what i find out.

hi
have you got any
Hockey,Mason,Pulsford or turners in your tree?
-
Hi zander, james rainey/rennie and margaret brennan were my 2x great grandparents!
how much further have you got in tracing these back?
-
came across your post, just wondering if the James Rainey you have could be the one I have been searching for, my James Rainey/Rennie was born in Ballycastle County Antrim in 1876, he was from a Presbyterian family of farmers, he is not on the Ireland Census of 1901 or 1911
-
hi vanessamcalonan,
this sounds like the same family ,the james i was looking after was married under rainey but when they moved to scotland the name changed to rennie,
what else have you got on your rainey side,
thanks zander

Hi Zander,
there are some Rainey/Rennie family members on the 1901 and 1911 Ireland Census, living near the coast close to Ballycastle, they were farmers, presbyterians, the family members are;-
Johnb1840 Torr Head died between 1901 and 1911, he married Mary Jane McClarty in 1875 in Cushendall, she died in 1899, they had 5 sons,John b 1878 Ballycastle,James b 1876 Ballycastle,Samuel Lyle born 1880 Ballycastle, David b 1883 Ballycastle and Charles b1887 Ballycastle
of the 5 sons it looks like only John remained in Antrim,Charles emigrated to USA,Samuel Lyle went to South Africa,David went to Australia, joined the AIF and was killed in action in 1917, and as you know I am trying to find James !
hope this makes sense, Vanessa
