Margaret and Bridget Green from Calderbank married Patrick (m 1900) and Timothy Forde (m 1904).
Looking to contact any present day descendants of these families that may still live in Scotland.
Patrick & Margaret Forde emigrated to USA in 1926. Timothy remained in Scotland and died there in 1930. Another brother Bartholomew Forde married Rosea Gallogly in 1912. The Forde brothers were from Co Cork Ireland. All their children were baptised in Chapelhall parish. Any information welcome.

Here are two deaths from the Scotland's People index. https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
FORDE BARTHOLOMEW 56 1934 652/3 1 Old Monkland (Eastern District)
FORDE BARTHOLOMEW 49 GREEN 1977 562/ 203 Coatbridge This shows the mother's maiden name as "GREEN." However, this doesn't tell you whether it is Timothy's or Peter's son.

Thank you to EV and DonM for that useful information. The Forde/Ford name may not have continued up to the present day I suppose.

Since 1977 there have been 9 marriages and 4 births in Coatbridge for the surname Forde

To follow on from Don's deaths, wonder if Bartholomew's wife Rose died young?
There is a death in 1917 for a 31 year old Rose Galloghly/Ford in Shotts (Middle District), Lanarkshire.

OP,
From the death record for Timothy Forde in 1930, I presume you know that his parents were Patrick Forde (deceased) and Julia Forde M.S. Rearden (deceased).
Do you have birth records for the three Forde brothers?
Bartholomew born 1871, Patrick born 1874 and Timothy born 1884.

Thank you to all the new posts.
Monica that is a very interesting find about death of Rose in 1917. I had seen that death, but did not know the maiden name. There is a death of child named Rose in 1919, but I don't know which family she is from, but age given as 0.I do have the parents names and the birth dates. I only found 2 children for Bartholomew and Rose: Julia 1913 and Elizabeth 1916
Bartholomew is actually Nov 1876. I think this is probably the Bartholomew who died in 1934 (ref Don). The Bartholomew who died in 1977 is probably a son of Timothy. Patrick also had a son Bartholomew but he emigrated with the rest of his family in 1926.
Thanks for all your help,
Mary

All three births were registered in Millstreet, County Cork. Bartholomew was born 3 April 1871, Patrick on 11 February 1874 and Timothy on 8 January 1884, all all Toorbona, Drishane.
There may well be other siblings, and possibly a marriage certificate and death certificates, at https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

Thank you Forforian, yes I do have all the Irish records, as I live near there. I am really trying to find any remaining Forde descendants in Scotland. There were 10 children in total. Some emigrated to Massachusetts. Charles had also been in Scotland before emigrating. It think their mother Julia may have emigrated to Scotland too, but I have not found a suitable death. Is there a graveyard in Calderbank, or would their burials be in St Peter's Dalbeth?

FORDE BARTHOLOMEW 49 GREEN 1977 562/ 203 Coatbridge
He married (Agnes Ann Grant), the same year his mother died. If this was my search I would order the death registration and see if the informant was a son/daughter niece/nephew or sibling. Then you search for that person. There is a chance his spouse was the informant if so find her death and do same.
There is also a marriage of a Bartholomew/Martha Shields Carr in 1977 Coatbridge (divorced in 2002).
You can also check the Electoral Registers for Coatbridge which is pretty much current.

Found this site by accident
This is what i have.
My grandfather was patrick forde born in calderbank married georgina summers (born 1908)
Patrick died in a steel works accident in London around 1938.
My brother thinks he knows where he is buried (Coatbridge area)
Georgina remarried, and died in 1997.
They had 4 boys, born early 1930s.
William died 1960's
Timothy (my dad) died 2002
Patrick died about 2004
David died about 2004
The Forde brothers lived in Hamilton/blantyre area about 10 miles from calderbank.
An earlier post in this chat explains why there were two Greens marrying two Fordes. I thought it was a duplicate of some kind!
My dad mentioned we had relatives in calderbank, which was how i found this post.
My dad mentioned he had an aunt Helen (Costello) who taught my brothers in Hamilton (they are in their late 60s now). Assume her name would have been Helen Forde.
