Title: Bridget Duff
Post by: Grungedav on Wednesday 23 November 11 22:22 GMT (UK)
Trying to trace Bridget Duff and her family, she married William Baillie at Anderston Old Church of Scotland Heddle Place - They had a son Robert born 1898

Any ideas gratefully recieved

Census details are a little confusing (Bridget changes to Jane) - Marriage between 1871 and 1881 presume will be around 1879 just prior to birth of William (son)

William was born 1855
Bridget was born 1860

1881 Census 144 Mathieson Street
William Cork Cutter b1855 Glasgow
Bridget Dressmaker b 1860 Glasgow
William 1880

1891 - wife shown as Jane

1901 Census 94 Mathieson Street
William Cork Cutter born 1855 Glasgow
Jane born 1861 Glasgow
William born 1880
John born 1884
Albert 1887
Wilfred 1894
Lilly 1896
Robert 1898

At Roberts wedding 18th July 1941 he shows mum as bridget Baillie maiden surname Duff (deceased)

I think Bridget/Jane are same person - Wilfred on the 1901 census lived with Robert during WW2

Why the name change I don't know possibly using a middle name?

Don't know if an 1861/71 Census lookup might pick up Bridget - I dont have access to those
