Hi Lin
What ages do you have for them on the certificate? It's possible that they could be on the 1911 census.
Also, who were the witnesses?

:-X
I think you have the date wrong - it's 1831 not 1931
I'll take a look a 100 years earlier then ;D
-
In 1841
Londown St, Mauchline
David, 30, box m
Jean, 30
Jean, 9
Thomas, 8
John, 6
David, 4
James, 2
Robert, 1
All born Ayrshire
Will see if I can find baptisms for them.

hi brevitas sorry it was 1831 it was just a mistype it looks like your on the right track regarsd lin
-
David Hood died 11 March 1884. Parents given as Thomas Hood, butler and Margaret m.s. McQueen. Both deceased.
-
hi brevitas your brilliant where do you get this info from should i look up thomas & margaret on the 1851 census i might be able to find out where they were born thanks again for all your help regards lin
-
Not found Jean's records yet. They were in Renfrew in 1861. She died before David.
If naming convention used, then Jean's parents would be Jean and John. Given her first daughter's name, this could be her mother in 1841:
Rodingside, Mauchline
Jean Mason, 70, b. Ayrshire
I'll look for David's parents' lines.
-
Looks as if David's mother was living close by in 1841-
Londown St, Mauchline
Margaret Hood, 60, b. Ayrshire
and still there in 1851 -
Margaret Hood, 74, hand sewer, b. Girvan
-
Jane Hood (m.s. Mason) died Govan, 1872. Father John Mason, blacksmith and Jane m.s. Marr. Both deceased.
Note that in Scotland Jean = Jane :)

Hi Lin
You might try looking for Margaret Hood (nee McQueen)'s birth/baptism, from the info I've already given:
Looks as if David's mother was living close by in 1841-
Londown St, Mauchline
Margaret Hood, 60, b. Ayrshire
and still there in 1851 -
Margaret Hood, 74, hand sewer, b. Girvan
This one on Family Search looks a possible:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XYSR-L5T
Parents shown as David McQueen and Agnes McMichael
There is a possible for Thomas, but we don't know much about him, so this is only a suggestion:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTV7-498
Parents shown as Thomas Hood and Anne Mitchell
Also, many Scots families followed a naming convention for their children, so listing children's names in birth order, often gives a good idea of parents.
Family Search are only showing 3 in Mauchline:
1807 Thomas
1815 John
1823 Maria Woodrow
We know that they had more - e.g. David b.c. 1810/11 (probably second son, named after Margaret's father) but I don't see them on SP at the moment. Maybe Thomas was their first child (after Thomas's father) :-\

hi brevitas once again you have been very helpful i printed out thomas hood & margaret mcqueen birth records you sent me from family search & i also check them out with the scotland people & it is a match so thankyou very much for all your help. regards lin :-*
-
hi brevitas me again found margaret hood nee (mcqueen) in the 1861 census so have been trying to find a death for her between 1861 & 1871 because she is not on the 1871 census my thought is if i can find a death for her she might be buried with her husbond thomas because i still cannt find anything on thomas only what you gave me of a possible birth have looked at scotlands people & have got no matches can you come up with any idea where to look next for her death regards lin ???
-
I don't see her death with normalish searches - it could be that her name is really badly transcribed or, sometimes no name is recorded :-\
-
hi brevitas my sister found a death for a margaret hood & we put the year range from 1861-1871 she also put the birth year 1777 put she also put + 10 years & also put the county ary & got 1 match would it be wise to use her credit to open regards lin :)
-
There is one in 1868, other name Bone, aged 85, died Ayr. I don't think it's yours .
-
9 online trees suggest that her parents were David McQueen and Agnes Carmichael/McMichael, as in my FS link. No death dates given though.
-
we are really looking for her death to see if she is buried with her husbond we have found a death on scotlands people with a birth year of 1777 + 10 there was only one match should we take a chance & open it regards lin ;)
-
There is one in 1868, other name Bone, aged 85, died Ayr. I don't think it's yours .
It would be best to check with the local council for a 'lair' record. I do have the Carrick area MIs but not the ones that you're interested in.
I think it would be East Ayrshire
