Title: Look Up Help - trying to trace a Sarah Jane Gallagher born in 1891
Post by: McKeown on Wednesday 29 June 16 12:23 BST (UK)
Hi, I am trying to trace a Sarah Jane Gallagher born in 1891 to parents Patrick Gallagher (B1965 Houston Renfrewshire-D1899 Glasgow, Scotland) and Mary King (B1867 Glasgow-D1931 Aberdeen).
1901 Census they are in Glasgow, although her mother passes away in Aberdeen.
I cannot see any death records or marriage records on Ancestry or Scotlandspeople. In Ancestry there is a document which looks a possiblity of her going to the USA. Infact there are a few but the birth year does not tie in.

Any information you can pass on will be greatfully received.

Have you tried (Surnames that begin with) option & Galla as it may be Gallacher?

Have you tried with (Forenames that begin with) option & Sara also leave middle name out as it will bring up Sarah too & all middle names automatically.

Also extend years by a few either side.

EDIT........Sorry, been reading it wrong  :-[

With the above info. (All Records) 1898 - 1901 there are 23 death matches on the index for the same amount as 1 name in 1 area.

I did not enter mother's maiden name of King (best to leave blank).

Hi

Have you seen her mother's death certificate? If so was Sarah Jane the informant?

There are several marriages of a Sarah Jane or Sarah J Gallagher in England on FreeBMD, plus if she stopped using her middle name/initial there are many more.

Thank You Rosie.
This looks bang on the money. This is fantastic. I will see if I can get them in Ancestry now.

I wonder if she stayed there and settled down.

Thanks to everyone who has replied. Rosie has it spot on. This is the family IMO.

I have tried various spellings of Gallacher, Gallagher, Sara, Sarah, Sarah Jane etc. It doesnt helpw help when her mothers name is Trainor, Trainer, Traynor etc....

Nightmate.

Thanks again everyone.

It looks like Sarah married in 1916 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KBZT-CCJ

And died in 1920 of tuberculosis - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:23TL-PMB

I can't find Sarah, but I think her husband may have been in the same sanitarium where she died at the time of the 1920 census - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MX1D-3NL

Her husband's birth - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FXNW-CNP

And his WWI draft registration card while they were married - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KZNJ-1XV

Sadly, it looks like they had a 4 month old daughter who died of tuberculosis also - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KB86-T2R

Perhaps Patricia was named after Sarah's father.

It really gives you an idea of the conditions these people lived in. Makes you thankful for what you have today.
