hi to you all
could anyone help with anything on this lady.
sarah mcneil born Belfast about 1826/1827 she was in Glasgow census by 185l and she is down as head , and her name is Harvey also Mary a daughter aged 3 and Rebecca aged 7maths.
(when Rebecca got marr 1873 she had her father in as john Harvey. dec... when Sarah died in Glasgow1898 her parents are down as john McNeil and Rebecca Auld.also her husbands name is down as William)
I have tryed SP to see if she married in scotland but there was nothing so maybe she married in ireland..most of my ancestors are from ireland, in the glasgow census's its just says Ireland so with this lady they have put Belfast Ireland, so i thank them for this bit more info..
thanking you.. and a very happy xmas to all.

thank you very much for your swift reply cavvytri, it is them, but i cannot find births for her harvey children and a marr so was thinking if they were born in belfast and she marr there.. this sarah did end up with a thomas forbes and quite a few children to him.
so once again thank you so much.

Hi Beeny
Problem is they didnt start officially rcording births in Scotland until 1855, and as they were born earlier, they could be on the Old Parish Records lists for Scotland on SP. Have you checked those too?
Good Luck!
I also have a problem with one of mine..a John Harle on a baptism...all i says is born in the Kingdom of Ireland...frustrating isnt it?
Best wishes
